Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
3.0
GPA, above 71 of the 89 other calendar and scheduling apps we grade
Trafft is appointment scheduling software for service businesses such as salons, clinics, coaches and cleaners. It generates a booking website for customers, handles payments, reminders and staff calendars, and has iOS and Android apps. A free plan covers one user and 100 appointments a month; paid plans are priced by user count.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about Trafft, taken from its own pages and our grades.
Services, staff and the booking site have to be set up.
- 1
Best for booking for one or two people on a tight budget
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.
- 2
Paid plans start at $3.99 a month
As its pricing page puts it: $3.99 per month, billed annually ($5.99 billed monthly).
- 3
There is a free plan
1 user, 1 location and 100 appointments a month, with the same booking website as the paid plans.
- 4
It runs on 3 platforms
Web, iOS and Android.
- 5
Booking website
Trafft generates a standalone booking page for each business that can be customized, shared as a link or QR code, or embedded. A custom domain and removal of Trafft branding are listed too.
- 6
Payments and deposits
Take payment at booking through Square, Stripe, PayPal, Authorize.net or Mollie, plus deposits, coupons and gift cards. The Mini plan lists Square payments only.
- 7
Staff, services and locations
Set up employees with their own working hours and calendars, services with extras and packages, and several business locations. Location counts depend on the plan.
- 8
A 3.0 GPA, above 71 of 89
That is against the other calendar and scheduling apps we grade, on value, the free plan, features, ease of use and platforms.
- 9
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.

The report card
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.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | A | Mini is $3.99 a month billed annually for 3 users, about $1.33 a head, under 60% of the category's $4.99 cheapest quarter. The page shows $7.99 crossed out. |
| Free plan and trial | B | Free covers 1 user, 1 location and 100 appointments a month, enough for one person starting out. |
| Features | B | Booking site, payments and deposits, staff, services, locations, reminders, WhatsApp, group and recurring bookings and an API. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record. Services, staff and the booking site have to be set up. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web plus iOS and Android, with Google Calendar, Zoom, Teams, WhatsApp, Stripe, PayPal, Square and Zapier. No desktop app. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
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 it 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
Good to know
Good for

Worth knowing

- The pricing page shows a sale with crossed-out prices and a countdown timer but no end date, so the listed prices may rise.
- SMS credits are sold separately; Mini and Growth include none, Professional 5 a month and Business 10.
- Monthly billing costs 50% or more above the annual rate, and each user over the plan limit is charged extra.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
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.
