A plan, fees on bookings and a payment gateway
TrekkSoft publishes its pricing. At the time of writing there are three plans, Starter at €49, Accelerate at €149 and Ultimate at €249 a month, billed annually, with Enterprise on request. Every plan adds fees on each booking: 3%, 2.5% or 2% of direct online bookings, the same percentage on OTA bookings with a minimum of €0.50, and €1.50, €1 or €0.50 per offline booking.
Card payments run through TrekkSoft's integrated gateway, Payyo, at 2.5% + €0.25 per transaction, or 3% + €0.25 for operators outside Europe. Payouts are monthly on Starter and Accelerate and weekly on Ultimate, and only Ultimate lets you choose Stripe or PayPal instead. On Accelerate, €100,000 of direct online bookings a year means €2,500 in booking fees on top of the plan, before card processing.
Tourtify has one price: a flat monthly plan with no fee on any booking, online, offline or through an agent. You connect your own payment provider on every plan, it charges its usual processing, and the money goes straight into your account on your provider's schedule.
Your website
TrekkSoft's booking widget turns pages on the website you already run, on WordPress, Wix, Squarespace and other builders, into a checkout, and its plans include a free website builder.
Tourtify includes the website as a central part of the product: themes made for tour operators, a visual site editor and page builder, tour pages with day-by-day itineraries, maps, reviews and FAQs, a blog, search engine settings and structured data, in up to 28 languages on your own domain. The tours, prices and dates on the site come straight from your console.
OTAs, agents and point of sale
TrekkSoft has been in the tours and activities business since 2010, and its channel manager connects to more than 30 online travel agencies, including GetYourGuide, Viator, Expedia and Klook. It also offers agent accounts and a POS desk for walk-up sales. If those connections carry a large share of your sales, weigh them carefully before you switch.
Tourtify gives agents and resellers their own booking links, rates and commission statements, connects to distribution platforms through OCTO and an open API, and adds a channel manager plugin for online travel agencies. Point of sale, with offline sales, is available too. Every channel books from the same calendar, so seats never sell twice.
Day tours, treks and multi-day trips
Both systems cover the daily work of a tour business. Tourtify is built for multi-day tours and treks as well as day activities: departures with day-by-day itineraries and printable trip PDFs, deposits, balances and instalments with automatic reminders, rooms and extras, waivers and traveller details collected before the trip, guides, manifests and QR check-in.

How much does TrekkSoft charge per booking?
At the time of writing TrekkSoft's pricing page lists 3%, 2.5% or 2% of direct online bookings depending on the plan, the same on OTA bookings with a €0.50 minimum, and €1.50, €1 or €0.50 per offline booking. Card processing through Payyo is charged separately. Check their pricing page for current rates.
Can I use my own Stripe or PayPal account with TrekkSoft?
According to their pricing page, Stripe and PayPal are available on the Ultimate plan; Starter and Accelerate use Payyo. With Tourtify you connect your own provider on every plan.
Can I import my bookings from TrekkSoft?
Yes. Upload a spreadsheet of your customers and bookings and match its columns to Tourtify's fields; a dry run checks every row before anything is imported, and imported bookings send no emails to travellers.
Is Tourtify cheaper than TrekkSoft?
It depends on how much you sell and on TrekkSoft's current pricing. Tourtify is a flat monthly price with no fee per booking, so its cost doesn't grow with your sales. Use the calculator on our home page with your own numbers and compare it with TrekkSoft's pricing.
Can I move my tours from TrekkSoft?
Yes. Bring your tours across with the importer or set them up in the console, add redirects from your old links, and switch your domain when you're ready. We'll help you plan the move.
Can I keep selling on other channels while I switch from TrekkSoft?
Yes. Build and test your Tourtify site on its free address first. Resellers can connect through OCTO, and agents get their own links, so nothing stops while you move.
Do I need to sign a long contract?
No. Monthly plans have no long-term contract, and you can export your bookings at any time.
