Best Nova XS Alternative: TicketingHub

Know your rate before you sign — and sell beyond Brazil

Nova XS (branded Nova XS, distribuição de serviços turísticos) is a real, established platform — but it's built and sold for the Brazilian market specifically, and its price is something you negotiate, not something you can check. If any share of your visitors book from abroad, or you simply want to know the number before the contract, that's a real cost.

TicketingHub publishes one global rate: 3% per online booking, no setup fee, no monthly fee — you only pay when you earn, wherever in the world your customers book from. The checkout speaks their language and takes their currency out of the box, and the OTA channel manager puts your availability in front of Viator and GetYourGuide. It's rated 5.0 on Capterra, and Secret Food Tours has run on it in 120 cities for over 10 years.

What is Nova XS?

Nova XS is a Brazilian travel-technology company, serving the domestic leisure tourism sector since 2013. It's a B2B platform for waterparks and theme parks, leisure hotels and resorts, tour operators and distributors, and Family Entertainment Centres, covering the operational side of the business rather than acting as a public-facing marketplace.

The platform bundles a Central Reservation System, a channel manager for hotels and attractions, an omnichannel customer service layer, point of sale, payment gateway, access control, a direct sales engine, CRM and business intelligence tools, and ticket distribution — a broad operational suite rather than a single booking widget. It states it is LGPD-compliant (Brazil's data-protection law) and ISO 27001 certified.

Its own site describes commercial terms as: once contracted, you get access to every module at no additional cost, with Nova XS's revenue tied to how the client's business performs — a partnership-style pricing model rather than a fixed price list.

Nova XS pricing: what's known and what isn't

Nova XS doesn't publish rates. What it discloses is the shape of the deal: an initial contract, full module access included once signed, and a stated intent to align its own revenue with the client's growth — which typically implies some form of percentage-based or negotiated fee, though the exact figure isn't public. We also found no evidence in our research of the platform serving customers outside Brazil, which matters if you operate — or want to expand — internationally.

TicketingHub's rate is public everywhere it operates: 3% per online booking, no setup fee, no monthly fee — a slow month costs you almost nothing, and the software bill can never outrun the bookings. Integration fees apply only for payment providers and OTA channels you choose to connect, and the booking widget itself supports multiple languages and currencies out of the box, so an overseas visitor finishes checkout instead of abandoning it.

Why operators switch to TicketingHub

See the number before you negotiate anything

Nova XS ties its own take to your performance, which sounds aligned but means you don't know the number until you've signed. TicketingHub is 3% per online booking, the same rate for every operator, visible before you talk to anyone — so you can work out this season's software cost from your own booking volume, on the back of an envelope.

Turn overseas visitors into completed bookings

Every visitor who hits a checkout in the wrong language or currency is a booking that drifts to an OTA — or nowhere. TicketingHub's widget is multi-language and multi-currency from the start, and its OTA channel manager syncs your availability with Viator and GetYourGuide in real time, filling slots you can't sell yourself. Operators on TicketingHub grew OTA sales 401% between 2022 and 2025, and Secret Food Tours runs on it in 120 cities.

Get your evenings back

When a customer's plans change, Magic Link lets them reschedule, cancel to a voucher, or amend the booking themselves — you keep the sale as a new date or a voucher instead of a refund, and nobody on your team touches the request. Abandoned-cart recovery emails follow up automatically on incomplete checkouts, winning back the customers who almost booked. Shannon R., a small business owner, says the abandoned-cart emails have "noticeably reduced the number of people that don't book."

Help at the hours you actually work

Booking problems happen on Saturday nights, not office hours. TicketingHub backs every account with 24/7 chat and email support, and migration help is free when you switch. As Oliver M., an executive director, puts it: "Overall its been been an invaluable tool and system for my business, helping us both grow and expand."

Who is Nova XS right for?

• Brazilian waterparks, theme parks, hotels and tour operators who want one contracted partner covering reservations, POS, access control and CRM domestically.
• Operators comfortable with a revenue-aligned commercial arrangement rather than a fixed published rate.

Who is TicketingHub right for?

• ✅ Operators who want Viator and GetYourGuide filling their calendar from the same platform.
• ✅ Teams that want their evenings back — self-serve reschedules, 24/7 human support, free migration.
