How to Switch from Trafft to Schedly
Trafft is built for multi-employee, multi-location service businesses. If your business is a solo practice or a small team without complex resource management needs, Trafft's feature depth adds configuration overhead without proportional value. Schedly delivers focused professional scheduling with a simpler setup.
Complete migration guide
Follow these steps in order. Each takes 2–5 minutes.
Create your Schedly account
Sign up at schedly.io — free with no credit card required.
Schedly's setup is significantly simpler than Trafft's multi-employee configuration.
List your Trafft services
Review your Trafft services: names, durations, pricing, buffer times. You'll recreate these in Schedly without the multi-location and resource complexity.
Focus on the services you actually book regularly.
Connect your calendar
Connect Google Calendar or Outlook. Schedly reads your real-time availability — cleaner than Trafft's employee-based availability management for solo practitioners.
For teams, connect each team member's calendar separately.
Recreate services as event types
Create Schedly event types for each service. Set duration, buffer time, location type, and availability restrictions.
Start with your most-booked service type and build from there.
Configure team scheduling (if applicable)
If you have multiple team members, set up team scheduling in Schedly Pro: individual booking links and round-robin distribution.
Schedly Pro's team scheduling doesn't have per-seat pricing at the Pro tier.
Enable SMS reminders and Stripe (Pro)
Upgrade to Schedly Pro for SMS reminders and Stripe payment collection. Both significantly reduce no-shows and cancellations.
The SMS reminder ROI alone typically exceeds Schedly Pro's monthly cost within the first month.
Update links and cancel Trafft
Replace all Trafft booking links with Schedly links. Export client data before canceling Trafft.
Check for Trafft links in email marketing automations.

What you gain by switching to Schedly
Simpler for solo and small team use cases
Trafft's architecture is designed for multi-employee, multi-location businesses. For solo practitioners, the configuration complexity doesn't match the use case.
Unlimited bookings from day one
Trafft's free plan restricts booking volume. Schedly Free has no booking limits.
Modern client-facing experience
Schedly's booking pages are optimized for the individual appointment booking experience.
Lower cost for comparable features
Schedly Pro at $24/month includes SMS, payments, and team scheduling that Trafft requires higher-tier plans to access.
Watch out for these migration gotchas
Resource booking requirements
If your business books physical resources (rooms, massage tables, equipment) alongside staff time, Trafft's resource management is more developed than Schedly's. Verify Schedly covers your resource scheduling needs before migrating.
Multi-location businesses
If you operate at multiple physical locations with location-specific services and staff, audit Schedly's multi-location capabilities before migrating from Trafft.
Matching Your Tool to Your Business Size
Trafft is a serious scheduling platform for serious scheduling complexity — multiple employees, multiple locations, resource booking, custom service structures. When your business has that complexity, Trafft's feature set pays dividends. When your business is a solo practice or a 2-3 person team, that complexity is overhead.
Schedly for Right-Sized Scheduling
Schedly is purpose-sized for the professional service business that books individual appointments: unlimited event types, calendar sync, intake forms, email and SMS reminders, Stripe payment collection, and team scheduling for small teams. Nothing more, nothing less.
The Configuration Simplicity Premium
A simpler scheduling tool that you fully understand and can maintain without ongoing configuration work is more valuable than a powerful tool you use at 20% capacity. Schedly's focused feature set means faster setup, easier maintenance, and less cognitive overhead — which translates directly into more time for your actual work.
