When to choose TripDrafts
Choose TripDrafts if you're an Indian travel agent who needs India-specific compliance (GST, TCS), WhatsApp-first workflow, INR pricing, and the ability to turn a messy WhatsApp enquiry into a luxury PDF quote in under 60 seconds. At ₹699/month + GST (vs TravelJoy's ~₹4,100/month), it's far more affordable.
When to choose TravelJoy
Choose TravelJoy if you're a US/UK-based travel advisor who needs full booking management, Stripe-based payment collection in USD/GBP, and a mature CRM with deep integrations. It's a broader platform but not designed for Indian tax compliance or WhatsApp-heavy workflows.
