All 10 platforms in detail

Bokun

4.6

380 reviews

TripAdvisor-owned, channel manager depth, 0% on Viator

Bokun is the TripAdvisor-owned booking platform that combines a flat $49/month subscription with a low 1.5% per-direct-booking fee — and zero fees on Viator-channel bookings. Its channel manager connects to 27,000+ marketplace partners, more than any competitor. Most operators we work with land on Bokun after outgrowing FareHarbor, and the math typically saves them $5K–$15K per year on commission alone.

FareHarbor

4.7

1100 reviews

Zero monthly fee, ~6% on every booking, best-in-class POS

FareHarbor charges no monthly fee and approximately 6% commission on every booking — a uniquely simple structure that includes payment processing in the headline rate. Owned by Booking Holdings, it offers the strongest mobile POS in the industry and phone-first customer support. The trade-off is cost at scale: above 100 bookings/month, FareHarbor is typically 3–5× more expensive than Bokun or Rezdy.

Rezdy

4.4

220 reviews

Direct-booking champion, 0% commission on website bookings

Rezdy is built around a single principle: every direct booking on your own website should be commission-free. Three plans run $49–$249/month with 0% on direct and approximately 3% on OTA channel bookings. Above 600 direct bookings/month, Rezdy's flat structure beats Bokun's 1.5% direct fee — and at 1,000+ direct bookings/month the savings compound to $10K–$30K per year vs FareHarbor. Strong B2B reseller capabilities make Rezdy popular with operators selling through travel agents.

Peek Pro

4.5

460 reviews

Best-in-class POS + dynamic pricing engine for US operators

Peek Pro's free plan charges 6% commission on direct bookings (0% on Peek.com marketplace), with paid plans from $199/month at reduced rates. The two real differentiators are an industry-leading mobile POS (the best for walk-up sales, kiosks, hotel concierges) and a sophisticated dynamic pricing engine that typically lifts peak-period revenue 10–20%. Heavily US-focused: international operators report weaker support and fewer payment options.

Checkfront

4.5

320 reviews

Multi-activity platform — tours, rentals, and accommodations

Checkfront is the platform of choice for operators running mixed inventory — tours alongside equipment rentals, accommodations, or activity bundles. Pricing runs $125–$295/month with 0% commission on direct bookings, putting it in line with Rezdy on direct-booking economics but with stronger handling of multi-product inventory (where a customer might book a kayak rental, a guided tour, and overnight accommodation in a single transaction). The interface is more dated than Peek Pro or Bokun, but the inventory model is unmatched for hybrid businesses.

Bookeo

4.6

280 reviews

No-commission, predictable monthly fee for small operators

Bookeo runs a tiered monthly subscription ($40–$110/month) with zero per-booking commission across all plans — the most predictable cost structure of any tour booking platform. There's no Viator integration discount, no commission-vs-direct math, just a flat monthly fee that scales with feature requirements. Best suited for small operators who want cost certainty and don't need deep OTA distribution. Operators with significant Viator/GYG volume will find Bokun's 0% Viator fee saves more.

TicketingHub

4.6

140 reviews

UK-based, 3% per booking, no monthly fee

TicketingHub charges no monthly fee and a flat 3% commission on bookings — half FareHarbor's rate with the same zero-upfront-cost model. UK-based with strong support for European operators, multi-language interfaces, and GDPR-native data handling. Smaller market presence than the global players (Bokun, FareHarbor) but increasingly competitive for European tour operators frustrated with FareHarbor's 6%.

Rezgo

4.4

95 reviews

Long-time independent player with low POS commission

Rezgo has been in the tour booking space since 2007 — predating most current major players. Pricing is flat: 4% on web bookings, 0.9% on POS bookings, no monthly fee. The POS rate is the lowest in the industry by a wide margin, making Rezgo specifically interesting for operators with high walk-up sales who don't want the Peek Pro premium. Smaller market presence than FareHarbor or Bokun, but the per-booking economics are competitive.

Xola

4.5

210 reviews

Conversion-focused with abandoned cart and ad attribution

Xola positions itself as the booking platform for operators who treat conversion optimization seriously. Tiered plans from $79–$199/month plus 4% per booking, with native abandoned cart recovery, Google/Facebook ad attribution tracking, and conversion analytics built in. Most other booking platforms make conversion features a third-party integration; Xola makes them table stakes. Best fit for operators running serious paid traffic who need attribution-quality data.

Resmark

4.7

95 reviews

Adventure & multi-day tour specialist with strong CRM

Resmark is built for adventure and multi-day tour operators — whitewater rafting, multi-day backpacking, fishing charters, hunting outfitters. Pricing runs $99–$299/month with 0% commission on bookings. The platform handles things tour-pure platforms don't: complex itineraries spanning multiple days, equipment manifests, gear rentals tied to specific guides, waiver management, and traveler health forms. Strong embedded CRM tracks repeat-customer relationships across multi-year booking horizons.

How to actually choose

The three questions that determine the right platform for your business:

1. What % of your bookings come through OTAs?

If 40%+ comes through Viator or TripAdvisor, Bokun's 0% Viator fee structurally beats every alternative. If under 20%, the OTA-fee differences matter less and you should optimize for direct-booking economics (Rezdy or Checkfront).

2. How much volume do you do?

Under 80 bookings/month → FareHarbor (no monthly fee). 80–500 → Bokun ($49 + 1.5% direct). 500+ direct bookings → Rezdy (0% direct beats everyone). Walk-up POS heavy → Peek Pro or Rezgo.

3. Do you have unusual requirements?

Mixed inventory (tours + rentals + lodging) → Checkfront. Multi-day adventure tours with waivers → Resmark. Heavy paid-traffic operator with attribution needs → Xola. Pure direct-booking with cost certainty → Bookeo.
