Custom booking system vs Amilia
Amilia is a management platform for organizations and clubs. Handy to start, but you rent a generic tool with recurring fees and a commission on transactions. A custom-coded system is yours and fits your flow exactly.
| Amilia | Custom | |
|---|---|---|
| Ownership | You rent the platform | You own the system (or rent, no commitment) |
| Recurring fees | Subscription + per-transaction fees | Paid once, or a fixed subscription, no commission |
| Booking flow | Generic template | Coded exactly for your services |
| Branding | Limited to the platform theme | 100% your brand, on your domain |
| Integrations | Whatever the platform offers | QuickBooks, Google Cal, API — custom |
| Data (Law 25) | On the platform's servers | Hosted in Canada, under your control |
| Support | Standard support | Lifetime bug fixes, direct contact |
If you run serious volume or a particular flow, the per-transaction fee gap pays back a custom system fast — one you own, with your data hosted in Canada (Law 25).
