Which tour booking systems publish their prices?

Of the nine in this guide, Bókun, Rezdy, TuriTop, Checkfront and TrekkSoft publish a subscription and a booking fee. Regiondo publishes its plans but not its per-booking fee. FareHarbor does not publish its booking fee, Peek Pro is quote-based, and Xola publishes its 3% and 6% structures but not which one applies to an operator.

Who pays the booking fee, the operator or the customer?

It depends on the provider. FareHarbor’s booking fee is paid by the customer at checkout. Bókun, Rezdy and Checkfront bill the operator, who can pass it to guests. TuriTop bills the operator. Xola has guest-pays and company-pays structures.

Do booking systems charge a fee on offline bookings?

It varies. Rezdy lists $1, $0.85 or $0.70 per offline or agent booking, by plan, and TrekkSoft €1.50, €1.00 or €0.50 per offline booking. Bókun, Regiondo and TuriTop state that offline bookings carry no fee.

Is ARAVIA an alternative to booking software for tour operators?

Yes. ARAVIA covers bookings, payments, capacity, check-in, customers and analytics, so it can replace the current booking system. It is more than a booking engine: it is the platform the whole operation is managed on.

Does ARAVIA have a lock-in contract?

No. There is no lock-in and no minimum period.

Who pays the ARAVIA fee, the operator or the customer?

The operator decides. Azornexus advises operators to absorb it, and it can also be passed to the customer. The fee can be a single flat fee that already includes payment costs, so there is no separate payment fee on top. Offline bookings recorded by the team carry no ARAVIA fee.

Do I have to leave the OTAs to use ARAVIA?

No. Channels that bring customers stay. ARAVIA replaces the booking system, not the distribution.

Provider by provider

FareHarbor

No monthly or setup fee is stated. A booking fee is charged to the customer at checkout, and its amount is not published. The operator pays a processing fee and an API fee on bookings from third-party websites. Neither amount is published. The operator is the merchant of record. The full detail is in FareHarbor fees explained.

Bókun

Three paid plans: START at $49 a month with a 1.5% booking fee, PLUS at $149 with 1.25%, and PREMIUM at $499 with 1%. The fee applies to direct online bookings and to OTA bookings, with Viator and offline bookings stated as free of it. There is no contract lock-in. The full detail is in Bókun pricing explained.

Rezdy

The pricing page lists Foundation at $49, Accelerate at $99 and Expansion at $249, each “per month + 3% per online booking”. On the 3%, it says: “You can choose to absorb this fee, or pass it on to your guests.” Offline or agent bookings cost $1, $0.85 or $0.70 each, by plan. All three plans “include unlimited OTA, agent and reseller connections”, with “No contract lock-in”. The payment processing rate is not published. The RezdyPay page gives the payout rhythm: “After your first payout, the default payout schedule is every 7 days, typically on Wednesday.”

Regiondo

The pricing page lists Grow at €59 and Pro at €99 a month, under the heading “Two plans. Flat monthly fee. No commission on your bookings.” The same page notes: “Online bookings: small per-booking fee applies” and “Offline bookings: no extra fees”. The per-booking amounts are not published. The help centre names the fee types: a ticket fee, a payment processing fee, a system fee, and a channel manager fee that may also be included. Plans are “billed monthly on a one-year contract”. The terms mention a one-time setup fee without an amount.

TuriTop

The pricing page lists Starter at €29 a month plus 2% on online bookings, Pro at €99 plus 1%, and Enterprise at €299 plus 0.75%. A minimum applies per booking, “Whichever is higher”: €0.10, €0.06 and €0.03. Offline bookings are free. There is no contract: “You pay month to month and can request cancellation anytime”. A setup fee exists, with the amount on request. Payment goes through the operator’s own gateway, and no processing rate is stated.

Checkfront

One plan on the pricing page: “£99 per month + 3% online booking fee”, shown to us in GBP with the note “Pricing may vary based on your region and currency.” On the 3%: “You can choose to absorb this fee, or pass it on to your guests.” The page states there are no extra fees for OTA bookings or API-generated bookings, and “No additional set up fees or hidden costs.”

Checkfront publishes its card rates. For Portugal and Spain, the help centre lists 1.50% for domestic cards and 3.25% for international cards, plus €0.25 per transaction. The payments page says: “We have a rolling payment schedule of 2-7 days.”

Peek Pro

Peek Pro does not publish prices. Its home page says: “Peek Pro uses custom, quote-based pricing tailored to your business rather than a fixed monthly plan.” The Merchant Agreement describes a commission or a flat fee set per agreement, which “specifically exclude any credit card processing fees or charges”, and says fees are due on bookings “originating from third-party platforms, marketplaces, resellers, or online travel agencies”.

Two addenda in the same agreement name percentages for specific programmes: 20% for services ordered through the Peek Activity Marketplace and related channels, and 3% for the Reseller Hub. Neither is Peek Pro’s general booking fee, which is not published. Payouts are made “each business day that is not a bank holiday.”

Xola

Xola has no subscription. Its pricing page says: “Xola assesses a small partner fee to your customers on every purchase. No subscriptions. No added OTA fees. No hidden fees.” The help centre describes four structures:

Flex Level, guest pays: a 3% service fee on every transaction, paid by the guest.
Flex Level, company pays: a 3% service fee on credit card transactions, absorbed by the operator.
Flex Standard, guest pays: a 6% service fee on online credit card transactions, shown to the guest at checkout.
Flex Standard, company pays: a 6% service fee on online credit card transactions, absorbed by the operator.

Which structure an operator gets is marked “Contact for pricing”, and the help articles say eligibility requirements apply. The pricing page also shows a card rate of 2.39% plus $0.30, with the note “Rates vary outside of the United States”. That is the card rate, separate from the service fee.

TrekkSoft

The pricing page lists Starter at €49, Accelerate at €149 and Ultimate at €249 a month, billed annually. Each plan adds per-booking fees on every channel:

Channel	Starter	Accelerate	Ultimate
Offline	€1.50 per booking	€1.00 per booking	€0.50 per booking
Direct online	3%	2.5%	2%
OTA	3% or €0.50	2.5% or €0.50	2% or €0.50
Payout cycle	Monthly	Monthly	Weekly

The integrated payment gateway costs 2.5% plus €0.25 per transaction on all three plans. For operators outside Europe it is 3% plus €0.25. Amex, Apple Pay and Google Pay transactions cost 4.00% plus €0.25. The page adds: “Monthly payouts will be paid on the 5th of the following month.” Enterprise pricing is “Contact sales”.

What these pages do not tell you

OTA commission. This guide covers booking software, and OTA commission is a separate cost. The GetYourGuide supplier page says its rate varies by country and is shared after sign-up. We could not read Viator’s supplier pages when we checked. We do not quote a rate for either.
Payment processing. Only Checkfront, Xola and TrekkSoft show a card rate on the pages we read.
Who is the merchant of record. FareHarbor and Peek Pro state that the operator is the seller. Most of the other pages we read do not say.
Your own rate. FareHarbor, Regiondo, Peek Pro and Xola set at least part of their pricing per operator.

How to compare for your own operation

Split last season’s bookings into direct online, offline and OTA. The fee often differs for each.
Check who pays the fee. A fee the customer pays still raises the price they see at checkout.
Add payment processing. It is usually charged on top of the booking fee.
Ask how long money takes to reach your account.
Read the contract length before the monthly price.

How ARAVIA handles the same points

ARAVIA is a booking and operations platform, always evolving, built by Azornexus. On the points this guide covers, it works like this:

Where the booking happens: On the operator’s own website, in the operator’s brand, in about three steps and with no redirect.
Where the money goes: Straight to the operator’s own account. ARAVIA does not hold funds or decide when the operator gets paid.
Who pays the fee: The operator chooses. Our advice is for the operator to absorb it, because a fee added at the end of a booking can send the customer to book on another channel. Operators who prefer to can pass it to the customer.
Payment costs: A booking fee paid by the customer does not, on its own, cover payment costs: in other models the operator can still pay those separately. With ARAVIA the fee can be a single flat fee that already includes them. The operator knows in advance what each booking will pay out, whatever the payment method or the customer’s country.
Offline bookings: No ARAVIA fee. Bookings the team records and takes payment for outside the platform, at the counter or by phone, are not charged.
Contract: No lock-in and no minimum period.
OTAs: There is no need to leave the OTAs. Direct connection to OTAs is in development and is switched on operator by operator.
Price: Set case by case in a personalised analysis, so there is no price list to place in a table like these.
How it starts: With time. We sit down with each operator to understand how they sell and how they work before configuring anything. The aim is for the team to be self-sufficient. If ARAVIA is not the right fit, we say so.
Team management: Built into the CRM: the trips assigned to each person, hours worked and holidays.
A platform that learns: The CRM adapts to the way each operation uses it: the more it is used, the more closely it fits the team’s own way of working. The website improves over time too, continuously optimised for Google and for AI search.
Where it started: ARAVIA began on the operations side, not with a booking button: capacity, check-in, team and customers in one place, so the operation runs faster and simpler.

Live in the Azores: in the 2026 season, 66% of MobyDick-Tours reservations were made online by the customer, and commissions and fees fell 45% against the previous platform.
