Trafft report card
Very good · out of 4.0 · graded Nov 12, 2026
Best for booking for one or two people on a tight budget
Trafft is appointment booking with a free plan for 1 user and 100 appointments a month. The pricing page shows a sale with crossed-out prices and no end date, so the listed prices may rise, and SMS credits are sold separately.
Who Trafft is for
- Fits if you are one person who wants a free booking page
- Works for a small team of up to 3 or 5 on a very low price
Who Trafft is not for
- Tight if you stay free: 1 user, 1 location and 100 appointments a month
- Watch out: the sale shows crossed-out prices with a countdown and no end date, so prices may rise
- Pricey if you pay monthly: 50% or more above the annual rate
- Watch out: SMS credits are sold separately, with none on Mini or Growth
- Watch out: each user over the plan limit is charged extra

Keep Trafft, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Trafft you would be making the WhatsApp Business API, which Meta opens only through approved partners. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 3.0 is higher than 71 of the 89 other calendar and scheduling apps we grade. It costs $47.88 a year.
What you could make
- Appointment booking and reports: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- The WhatsApp Business API, which Meta opens only through approved partners.
- Booking pages that read and write other people's calendars and send the emails.
- A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
- It plugs into other products, Google Calendar, Zoom and Microsoft Teams among them, and has an API.
- People on the other end: coaches. No app builder makes those.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. Trafft’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
