Checkfront
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.

Who Checkfront is right for
Checkfront is the right answer for operators whose business model doesn't fit cleanly into 'tours only.' If you sell guided tours alongside kayak rentals, e-bike rentals, accommodation packages, or equipment-only options, the inventory model is genuinely better than any of the tour-pure platforms. Checkfront handles a single transaction containing multiple inventory types (a guided tour, two equipment rentals, and a one-night cabin) cleanly — something Bokun, Rezdy, FareHarbor, and Peek Pro all struggle with. The main trade-off is cost at low volume: $125/month minimum is meaningfully higher than Bokun's $49 entry, so operators with under 60 bookings per month will find the pure-tour platforms cheaper and simpler.
