Rezdy Pricing
Rezdy's three plans differ mostly in features and the offline fee. All three take 3% of online bookings. Offline and agent bookings cost $1 each on Foundation, $0.85 on Accelerate and $0.70 on Expansion. Rezdy bills monthly ("rather than annual subscriptions, you pay by the month and can cancel anytime"), lists free onboarding, and offers a 21-day free trial with no credit card. Its plans include "unlimited products, users and agents." One FAQ on the same page says plans start "from $0 per month," which doesn't match the table, so confirm with Rezdy before you count on a free tier. For multi-day trips, Rezdy's help center lists multi-day tours as a use case for sharing resources across sessions.
Checkfront Pricing
Checkfront keeps it simple, "one simple plan for all customers" at $99 a month plus a 3% online booking fee, which you "choose to absorb" or "pass it on to your guests." Offline bookings carry no fee, and there are "no setup fees." Checkfront is the best documented of the three for multi-day trips. It sells "by the hour, day, multi-day, night, time slot," and its waivers can be reused for "multi-day camps or courses." It isn't on Google's published Things to Do partner list.
Xola Pricing
Xola has "no subscriptions." Instead, "Xola assesses a small partner fee to your customers on every purchase," and it doesn't publish the percentage. You'll need a quote ("Contact for pricing"). It does publish card processing at 2.39% plus 30¢ in the US, says there are "no added OTA fees," and offers digital waivers. Xola is on Google's Things to Do partner list.
What a $2,400 Booking Costs on Each
On a $2,400 multi-day trip booked online, the 3% fee on Rezdy or Checkfront is $72, before card processing, plus the monthly subscription spread over your bookings. If you pass the fee to the guest, the guest pays $2,472 and you keep the $2,400 less processing. On Xola, the guest pays the partner fee on top, and you pay 2.39% plus 30¢ in processing, which is $57.66 on $2,400. Run your own season through each. A busy operator usually does better with a flat subscription. A seasonal one with fewer bookings often does better with none.
All three take bookings. None of them sends you travelers. ExplorOFF is free to join, with no exclusivity, and takes 15% plus card processing only on a booking we bring you. List your trip.
