Best TuriTop Alternative: TicketingHub

Never pay a fee on a booking that earned you nothing

TuriTop charges a transaction fee on every online booking — a percentage or a fixed minimum, whichever is higher, and neither number is published. That floor means even a free or fully-discounted booking still costs you money, and you cannot know your true monthly cost until you ask. Add the subscription tier, and your bill has two moving parts before you sell a ticket.

TicketingHub keeps it to one number you can check today: 3% per online booking, no setup fee, no monthly fee, no minimum floor. You pay as you earn — a quiet month costs you next to nothing, and a £0 booking costs exactly £0. Rated 5.0 on Capterra, with operators growing OTA sales 401% between 2022 and 2025. Here is the full comparison.

What is TuriTop?

TuriTop is a booking system for tour, activity and rental operators, founded in 2012 in Tenerife, Spain by Valieriy Slysarenko. It's a small, bootstrapped company, around 15 employees with no outside funding raised, and markets itself as commission-free on payments — a claim that covers payment processing specifically, as its actual fee structure shows below.

TuriTop pricing: a tier, a cap, and a fee you can't see

TuriTop is priced on monthly tiers gated by booking volume and features. A Basic tier runs around 31 dollars a month, capped at 200 bookings and one payment gateway, without the channel manager. A Pro tier around 60 dollars a month raises the cap to 2,000 bookings, adds a second payment gateway and unlocks the OTA channel manager. A Pro Plus tier around 97 dollars a month raises the cap to 4,000 bookings and adds developer API access, white-labelling and all payment gateways. A free trial is offered.

On top of the subscription, TuriTop charges a separate transaction fee on each online booking: a percentage of the final price, or a fixed minimum per booking, whichever is higher. Neither figure is published. Because of that floor, even a free or fully-discounted booking still generates a charge. The fee applies to bookings made through your website widget regardless of payment method, though staff-entered or CSV-imported bookings are excluded, and resellers don't pay it themselves — the supplier does.

Do the math for your own operation: at around 400 bookings a month — roughly 10,000 pounds at a 25-pound average ticket — you'd sit on TuriTop's Pro tier, about 47 pounds a month, which also unlocks the channel manager you'd need. Then add the undisclosed per-booking fee, unquantifiable since neither rate nor minimum is public: your true cost is unknown until you ask. TicketingHub's 3% on the same 10,000 pounds is a flat 300 pounds, payment and OTA fees itemized separately — one number you can verify today, with no floor biting on cheap or free bookings.

Why operators switch to TicketingHub

Keep every penny of a discount you chose to give

When you comp a ticket or run a promotion, that's your marketing spend — it shouldn't trigger a software fee. TuriTop's transaction fee applies even to a £0 booking, and neither its percentage nor its minimum is public. TicketingHub's 3% per online booking is published, has no minimum floor, and comes with no monthly fee at all. Free booking, free of charge.

Grow OTA sales without buying a bigger plan

The moment you need distribution is the moment TuriTop asks you to upgrade: its OTA channel manager sits behind the Pro tier and above. TicketingHub includes the channel manager at every level — real-time availability sync with Viator, GetYourGuide and other resellers from one dashboard, so midweek slots fill from marketplace demand without a second calendar. Operators using it saw OTA sales grow 401% between 2022 and 2025.

Room to grow into, not out of

TuriTop's Capterra reviewers like its simplicity but note it's not as in-depth as larger reservation systems, and that unusual requests can take effort to configure. With TicketingHub you get the depth as standard — Magic Link so customers reschedule, cancel or convert to voucher themselves, an offline POS, digital waivers, and 24/7 chat and email support — without a pricier tier to unlock any of it. Nicolas J., CEO, puts it this way on Capterra: "they improve their tool all the time, Ticketinghub covers all our needs and if we need something else they are up to make it happen."

What reviewers say about TuriTop

TuriTop holds 4.6 out of 5 on Capterra from 15 reviews. Reviewers repeatedly praise its user-friendly interface, quick setup, low starting price and responsive customer service, along with solid resource management for availability and multi-day tours. The recurring caution is depth: it's described as less in-depth than larger reservation systems, and unusual configuration requests can take extra time to sort out. If your business is growing, that depth ceiling is the cost to watch — the tool you outgrow is the one you pay to leave.

Who is TuriTop right for?

• Small operators with straightforward booking needs and modest monthly volume.
• Businesses happy to pay for a pricier tier once they need the OTA channel manager.
• Teams comfortable with an undisclosed per-booking fee they'll need to ask about directly.
