A better Checkfront alternative

The Checkfront alternative that keeps your commission.

If Checkfront's tiered subscription + booking limits is eating into your season, Theybook gives you the same core toolkit — booking page, manifests, automated emails, waivers and reporting — for one flat monthly fee.

Is it time to switch?

You're a good fit for a Checkfront alternative if…

Most operators who move to Theybook share the same handful of frustrations. If these sound familiar, the switch usually pays for itself fast.

  • You're tired of a per-booking fee that grows every time you have a good month
  • You want payouts in your own Stripe, not held by the platform
  • You want a booking page that looks like your brand, on your own domain
  • You want to own your customer list and export it anytime
  • You'd rather set up yourself today than wait on a sales call
  • You want gift cards, promo codes, waivers and a waitlist included
