Most features overlap. These are the differences we could confirm on DataFast's own site, as of Oct 2026.
Razorpay next to the usual providers
Trakily connects Razorpay with an API key, alongside Stripe, Polar, Lemon Squeezy, Paddle and Dodo Payments. DataFast covers Shopify and WooCommerce natively and offers a Payments API for other providers.
Bring your Google Analytics history
Connect Google, pick a GA4 property and your history imports in the background. Plausible exports import too, so your charts don't start from zero.
Switching takes 2 minutes
Keep DataFast running while you try Trakily. Nothing to remove until you're sure.
