Q: What's the difference between this tool and WP Amelia?

Milos.J_Trafft
Nov 20, 2024A: Hello,
Most of the features available in Amelia are also available in Trafft. Our developers are continually working to add more features over time.
The main difference is that Amelia is a WordPress plugin and can only be used within the WordPress environment. In contrast, Trafft does not require WordPress or hosting. The server and infrastructure are hosted by us, and you get a pre-made booking page automatically by default. This makes Trafft more user-friendly, simpler to use, and easier to maintain.
If you have any additional questions, feel free to let us know.
(a) Firstly, for someone who has bought your Amelia WP plugin, get what Trafft offers, or do they see something missing in Amelia which is included in Trafft (or vice-versa).
(b) Secondly, what does the future look like - will both see a continuous development or will one of those - Amelia or Trafft - cease to exist?
Is there a comparison document or webpage available between your Amelia plugin and Trafft tool?
Hello @Daron14689,
We will provide a multi-part response to your inquiries, as replies here have a short character limit.
1: Due to Amelia's tremendous success in the WordPress world, our company decided to create Trafft—a SaaS booking tool developed and maintained by an independent team. Both tools are being developed separately, with different managers, developers, and QA processes.
2. While they share core functions like booking, employee management, buffer times, and time slots, the features vary. For instance, Trafft offers simplified Google/Outlook integration, whereas Amelia includes features like Events and Service Packages. These are just examples—there are more differences and unique advantages to both tools.
3. Ultimately, the choice depends on whether you need a WordPress-based tool or a SaaS solution. While we don't currently have a comparison document, feel free to reach out to Trafft's support team at help@trafft.com for more details about each tool’s capabilities.
Kind regards.
