Six rage room booking platforms compared on published pricing, an example month's costs and what to test in a demo. Pricing checked October 2026.

Rage rooms sell short, private sessions. One booking usually takes a whole room, sessions can last 10 minutes or an hour, and each room needs clearing and resetting before the next group. Many venues also sell packages, such as a rage room plus a paint room, and every guest signs a waiver before going in.

Your booking software needs to handle those details while keeping availability accurate across your website, walk-ins and gift vouchers. This guide compares six platforms and gives you practical tests to run before choosing.

**Disclosure:** We make TicketingHub, one of the six platforms in this guide. We’ve included alternatives with different pricing models, including subscriptions that may cost less for a single venue selling mainly through its own website.

## What to look for in rage room booking software

### Private rooms and session lengths

A booking for two should take the whole room, just like a booking for four. Check that you can sell several session lengths for the same room and set a minimum and maximum number of guests.

### Clean-up time between sessions

Each room needs time to sweep up and reset. Check whether the schedule can include that time, so the next group never arrives while the room is still being cleared.

### Packages across rooms

If you sell combinations, such as a rage room plus a paint room, or a group using two rooms at once, test how one booking reserves every space it needs.

### Waivers for every guest

Check whether each guest can sign a waiver on their phone before arrival, and whether staff can see who has signed at check-in. Waivers may be built in or provided through an integration such as Smartwaiver.

### Walk-ins and changes

Walk-in sales need to use the same availability as online bookings. Check whether guests can change or cancel within your rules without calling you.

### Damage deposits

Some venues hold a guest’s card to cover damage beyond the normal session. Ask each provider whether it can place a card hold, or whether you collect damage charges separately.

### Breakable stock

Booking software sells sessions; it doesn’t usually count bottles, plates or TVs. Ask whether stock is tracked, or plan to count it separately.

### The full cost

Ask for subscription, booking, payment-processing and add-on charges separately, including fees added at checkout. Compare a quiet month with your busiest month, then calculate the full year.

## Rage room booking software pricing compared

**Pricing checked in October 2026.** The figures below come from vendor pricing pages where published. FareHarbor and Peek Pro don’t publish a rate card; their **6% customer-paid booking fee** is the rate operators typically see, so confirm it in your quote. Dollar symbols follow the vendors’ pages.

| Platform | Subscription and setup | Booking fees and other charges |
| - | - | - |
| Bookeo | Standard $39.95 / month; Large $79.95; X-large $119.95 | No commission. Payment-gateway charges apply separately. Plans include 1,000 / 2,000 / 3,000 bookings a month. Waivers and SMS cost extra. |
| FareHarbor | Confirm subscription, setup and other charges in your quote | Typically 6%, paid by the end customer; not published, so confirm it in your quote. |
| Peek Pro | Confirm subscription, setup and other charges in your quote | Typically 6%, paid by the end customer; not published, so confirm it in your quote. |
| Resova | Monthly billing: Lite $50, Pro $90, Premium $135; or $40 / $72 / $108 a month billed annually | No commission. Plans include 100 / 300 / 600 bookings a month; overage is $0.20 per booking. API access is $150 a month. |
| TicketingHub | No monthly or setup fee on pay as you go | 3.5% of each booking on every channel, cash at the till included; 2.75% with a 12-month subscription. Operators can absorb the booking fee or pass it to guests. Payment processing is separate. |
| Xola | No subscription | Advertises US card rates of 2.39% + $0.30, plus a customer-paid partner fee. Request the partner-fee amount and terms. |

## What an example month could cost

Assume **200 online bookings at $90 each (for example, two guests at $45): $18,000 in base booking revenue**.

The figures below illustrate the stated fees. They exclude payment processing, taxes and optional services.

| Platform and plan | Illustrated charge | Calculation and fee payer |
| - | - | - |
| Bookeo Standard | $39.95 | Monthly subscription, within the 1,000-booking allowance. |
| Resova Pro | $90, or $72 billed annually | Monthly subscription. 200 bookings exceed Lite’s 100-booking cap, so Pro applies. |
| TicketingHub | $630 | 3.5% of $18,000 on pay as you go, absorbed by the operator or passed to guests. |
| FareHarbor | $1,080 booking fee | 6% of $18,000 at the typical rate, paid by customers. Other charges remain unconfirmed. |
| Peek Pro | $1,080 booking fee | 6% of $18,000 at the typical rate, paid by customers. Other charges remain unconfirmed. |

Xola is excluded because its partner fee isn’t published.

A customer-paid fee changes the checkout price rather than your costs. For example, a **6% fee added to a $90 booking is $5.40**, taking the price to **$95.40 before taxes or other charges**. Compare both what your business pays and what guests see.

## Six rage room booking platforms to consider

### Bookeo

**Worth considering if:** You sell mainly on your own website and want a low, fixed monthly fee with no commission.

**Check before choosing:** Check the booking allowance in your busiest month, staff limits, and the cost of the waiver and SMS add-ons. [View Bookeo pricing](https://www.bookeo.com/tours/pricing/) or see the [Bookeo alternative](https://www.ticketinghub.com/alternatives/bookeo).

### FareHarbor

**Worth considering if:** You want to evaluate its booking tools and you are comfortable with guests paying the booking fee.

**Check before choosing:** Use the typical **6% customer-paid fee** when comparing checkout prices, and confirm it in your quote. Request a written breakdown of processing and any recurring charges. Read [FareHarbor alternatives](https://www.ticketinghub.com/blog/fareharbor-alternatives).

### Peek Pro

**Worth considering if:** You want to assess booking, resource management and marketing tools together.

**Check before choosing:** Use the typical **6% customer-paid fee** as one component of the comparison, and confirm it in your quote. Get processing and other charges in writing. See the [Peek Pro alternative](https://www.ticketinghub.com/alternatives/peek-pro).

### Resova

**Worth considering if:** You run a single venue with steady volume and want a platform built for escape rooms, rage rooms and similar activities, with a fixed monthly fee and no commission.

**Check before choosing:** Each plan has a booking cap and a team-member limit. Check what your busiest month would cost, including the $0.20 overage or an upgrade, and add API access if you need it. [View Resova pricing](https://get.resova.com/pricing/).

### TicketingHub

**Worth considering if:** You prefer a percentage-based fee with no fixed monthly subscription or booking cap. Rooms can be set up as private assets, so one booking takes the whole room whatever the group size, and one booking can reserve several rooms at once. A rage room can be its own product or a ticket type within one, and packages with combination discounts let guests book, for example, a rage room and a paint room together. Clean-up time is built in by setting a session duration that includes it. TicketingHub includes a website booking widget, point of sale, gift vouchers and a Smartwaiver integration. Deposits can be taken online with the balance paid in person, and guests can reschedule themselves through a link.

**Check before choosing:** TicketingHub can’t yet place a card hold to cover damage, it doesn’t track breakable stock, and guests can’t choose a specific room when booking: the system allocates it. At high, steady direct volume, a subscription will often cost less. Ask us to demonstrate a package across two rooms, waivers for a group and a walk-in sale, and compare 3.5% on pay as you go, or 2.75% with a subscription, against subscription alternatives using your annual booking mix. [View TicketingHub pricing](https://www.ticketinghub.com/en-US/pricing).

### Xola

**Worth considering if:** You run adventure or activity venues and want to compare a subscription-free pricing model.

**Check before choosing:** Separate card processing from software charges. The advertised US rate of 2.39% + $0.30 is a credit-card rate; Xola also states that customers pay a partner fee. Request that fee in writing and review a sample checkout. [View Xola pricing](https://www.xola.com/pricing/) or read [TicketingHub vs Xola](https://www.ticketinghub.com/blog/ticketinghub-vs-xola).

## How to choose your shortlist

| Your booking mix | Platforms to compare | What to check first |
| - | - | - |
| One venue, steady direct sales | Bookeo, Resova | Booking caps in your busiest month |
| Uneven demand or no fixed subscription | TicketingHub, FareHarbor, Peek Pro, Xola | Annual cost and guest checkout fees |
| Several activities in one venue | All six | Packages across rooms and shared staff |
| Damage deposits are essential | All six | Whether a card hold is supported |

## Six things to test in a demo

1. **Book a private session for two.** Check that the whole room closes on every channel.
2. **Check the next start time.** Confirm the schedule leaves enough time to clear the room.
3. **Book a package** that uses two rooms, such as a rage room plus a paint room.
4. **Have every guest sign a waiver** on their phone, then find the signatures at check-in.
5. **Sell a walk-in at the desk** and check that the slot closes online.
6. **Change a booking as a guest** and check what staff see afterwards.

Also ask how existing bookings, unredeemed vouchers and customer records would move from your current system.

## Frequently asked questions

### What is the cheapest booking software for a rage room?

For a single venue selling direct, a capped subscription such as Bookeo or Resova often costs least. If your volume is uneven or you run several venues, compare a full year against a percentage-based fee. Include payment processing and any fees guests pay.

### Can booking software add clean-up time between sessions?

Ask each provider to show it with your timetable. Some let you set a gap between sessions; on TicketingHub, you set a session duration that includes clean-up.

### Can I take a damage deposit?

Ask whether the platform can hold a card or take a separate deposit, and how staff release or charge it. TicketingHub can take a deposit online but can’t yet place a card hold.

### Does rage room software track breakable stock?

Usually not. Booking systems sell sessions and places. Plan to count bottles, plates and electronics separately unless a provider demonstrates stock tracking.

### Does TicketingHub charge a monthly fee?

No. Standard published pricing is **3.5% of each booking on pay as you go, on every channel**, with **no monthly or setup fee**. A 12-month subscription lowers it to 2.75%. Payment processing is separate. [See TicketingHub pricing](https://www.ticketinghub.com/en-US/pricing).
