OneBookPlus vs Trakist

OneBookPlus is software for pool service businesses managing recurring routes, water chemistry records, bookings and invoices. It supports weekly, fortnightly, monthly and seasonal schedules, can build route schedules and raise invoices automatically, and lets technicians record chlorine, pH, alkalinity, salt, stabiliser and dosed chemicals for each pool. Invoices calculate 10% GST, show the business ABN and provide a GST summary for BAS reporting. Its Free plan includes a booking page; paid plans include a hosted website. Starter and higher plans offer Stripe payments, which carry Stripe processing fees plus a OneBookPlus platform fee. The service lists integrations with Stripe, Google Calendar, Mailchimp, Google Ads and Facebook Ads; Xero Sync and ATO Tax Lodgement are in development. A native app is available for iPhone and iPad, alongside a web app recommended for Android users. Plans include Free at free, Starter at A$29 a month, Plus at A$49 a month and Growth at A$69 a month. The maker says business records are encrypted and hosted in AWS Sydney.

Trakist is an iOS app for private tutors managing students, lessons, attendance, and payments. Tutors can create one-time or recurring sessions and record schedule changes and cancellations. Attendance works for individual and group sessions, with attended, rescheduled, or canceled statuses. Marking a student as attended automatically deducts one session credit for that student.

Invoices can include a logo and business details, and Trakist’s invoicing page describes automatic payments with Stripe. The free plan includes unlimited students, up to two classes, payments, scheduling, attendance, student progress, iCloud Sync, import and export, and customizations. The Monthly plan adds unlimited classes, invoicing, automatic payments, and automatic invoice generation for $4.99 a month. The Yearly plan costs $49.99 a year and includes everything in Monthly, with a listed free trial month and 20% savings. The maker says the app is currently available only in the App Store. It describes the company as a small independent team that began as a family business. The privacy policy says Trakist does not collect, store, use, or share information, though support emails may be retained for quality assurance.
