You don't run a register. You run a court. Treyna saves a card at booking, charges your cancellation policy on its own, and takes a lesson off a pack the moment your client shows up.
Square Appointments is built for any service business: salons, barbers, studios. Nothing in it knows about lessons, packs or group trainings. It holds the card for one visit and makes charging a no-show a manual decision inside a 14-day window. Treyna is made for coaches: it saves the card and charges the penalty automatically per your policy, and packs deduct on their own when the client attends.
Square Appointments is built for a front desk with a card reader. That shows up in the small print that matters to a coach:
None of that is wrong for a salon with a counter. It's wrong for a coach who's on court all day and can't stop to chase a charge.
You describe how you work in a couple of sentences, and the chat builds the rest: your booking page, your payments, your client list, your cancellation policy. After that the chat is the remote control. "Invoice Anna." "Move Tuesday to 6pm." "Who owes me?"
A card is saved when the client books. If someone misses a lesson or cancels late, the fee charges itself per the policy you set. No 14-day window, no manual decision, no awkward follow-up.
Sell a pack of 10 once. One lesson comes off automatically when the client attends. They can see "3 of 10 left" any time, not just during a booking. Deposits or prepay are taken the moment they book.

In Treyna, yes, any time. In Square, the client can only see the pack balance inside a booking. Treyna takes a lesson off automatically when the client attends and shows "3 of 10 left" on their page.
In Square, a deposit and a pack can't be combined on one service. Treyna lets you take a deposit or prepay at booking and run packs on the same service.
No. Treyna runs from your phone and a web booking page. There's nothing to plug in and no counter to stand behind.
