Which one fits
Honest answer: it depends on your queue
Choose Qmatic if…
- You need an on-premises installation: Qmatic Orchestra runs on your own infrastructure.
- You are planning an enterprise project with many service points and Qmatic-certified hardware.
- You want virtual meetings and Qmatic’s AI tools in the same platform.
Choose Qwaiton if…
- You want to know the price before talking to sales: $50, $100 or $300 per month.
- You want to start this week with a 14-day free trial on screens and tablets you already own.
- You run one to five locations and want appointments and SMS in one $100 plan.
Getting a quote
What to ask Qmatic before you sign
Qmatic does not publish prices on its website, so the real comparison starts with a quote. Ask every vendor, including us, the same questions:
- How is the licence priced? Per location, counter, user, device or visit, and what happens when you add a branch.
- Which hardware is required? Ticket printers, kiosks, displays and media players: bought, rented or your own screens.
- What do installation, training and support cost? One-off fees, yearly maintenance and response times.
- Who pays for SMS or WhatsApp messages? Included, per message, or through your own account.
- How long is the contract, and how do you leave? Notice period, data export and who owns the hardware afterwards.
Qwaiton’s answers are on our pricing page; the cost guide explains typical hardware and setup costs.
Switching
Moving from Qmatic step by step
How to switch without disrupting your queue
- List what you run today: locations, services, counters or rooms, and who works where.
- Start a free Qwaiton trial and set up one location the same way. It takes about an hour.
- Run both side by side for a few days at that location, with one screen each, until the team is comfortable.
- Move the QR codes and the waiting-room screen, then roll out the other locations one by one.
- Cancel the old subscription only after the last location has moved.

FAQ
Qmatic vs Qwaiton, answered
Does Qmatic publish its prices?
No. Qmatic’s website offers demos and contact with sales; it does not list prices (checked 22 October 2026).
Does Qwaiton have an on-premises version like Qmatic Orchestra?
No. Qwaiton is cloud software that runs in a web browser. If you must host the system on your own servers, Qmatic Orchestra is built for that.
Can Qwaiton use the hardware we already have?
Any screen or tablet with a web browser works as a Qwaiton display or kiosk. Ticket printers and other devices from another vendor may need their own software, so send us the model numbers before you switch.
