Why we publish these
Honest comparisons, on the record
Choosing booking software is a five-figure decision hiding inside a monthly subscription — the pricing model matters more than any single feature. These pages lay out exactly how theybook differs from each major platform: who takes a commission, who holds your money, who owns your customer data, and what switching actually involves.
We keep them honest. Every comparison includes what the other platform is genuinely good at, because credibility matters more than a cheap dunk — and because for operators whose growth is direct, the flat-fee math usually speaks for itself.
Questions, answered
The essentials
01How much does Theybook cost?
Theybook is a flat $99/month (or $83/month billed annually) with every feature included — unlimited bookings, unlimited experiences, the full design studio, automated emails, waivers, gift cards, CRM and team accounts. There is no commission, no per-booking fee, and no setup fee. The only other cost is Stripe's standard card-processing rate, which is paid to your own Stripe account like any other payment processor.
02Do you really take 0% commission?
Yes — zero, permanently. Commission platforms typically take around 6% of every order, which on $300,000 of annual bookings is roughly $18,000 a year. Theybook's flat fee means a record month costs exactly the same as a quiet one, so every additional booking you win is pure margin.
03Who processes the payments?
Your own Stripe account. Guests pay by card at checkout and the money settles directly to your bank on Stripe's normal payout schedule. Theybook never holds, routes or touches your funds — if you ever leave, your payment history and customer relationship with Stripe remain entirely yours.
04Do I need technical skills to set it up?
No. Setup is self-serve and most operators are bookable the same day: add experiences, set availability, pick a design preset and connect Stripe. The design studio uses visual controls with a live preview, and embedding on an existing site is a single copy-paste.
05Can I use my own website and domain?
Both. You can run your Theybook booking page on your own domain as a complete storefront, or keep your current website and embed the booking widget so guests reserve without leaving your pages. Availability, pricing and customer data stay in sync either way.
