Where we differ
Theybook doesn't add a per-order booking fee. Your processing is just Stripe's standard rate, paid to your own account.
Design studio, your domain, full data export — the page and the audience belong to you.
Promotions, gift cards, waitlist, reviews, CRM and manifests are all in the one flat plan.
In fairness
TripWorks brings modern marketing and financing features and a capable POS for in-person sales.
The honest answer: if a per-booking fee is quietly costing you thousands and you'd rather own your booking page, your data and your guest relationships, Theybook is the better economic and strategic fit for most operators.
Switching is easy
Add each tour, charter or activity with pricing, capacity and duration. Tiered pricing and add-ons take seconds to set up.
Create repeating schedules and one-off departures. We generate dated, seat-limited slots for the next 90 days automatically.
Pick a preset, drop in your logo and photos, tune colors and sections, and connect your own domain.
Link your Stripe account, paste the embed widget on your existing site, and take your first commission-free booking.
