See how BookingCentral pricing works →Your annual booking volume is bookings per month × average booking value × active months. We apply each platform's booking fee to that volume and add any monthly subscription for a full 12 months. When a platform's rate varies by plan, region, or contract, we show a range rather than a single number.
Some platforms add their booking fee to the guest's total at checkout, so your business doesn't pay it directly but your guests do. Others take it from your revenue, and some let you choose. Your answer in step 3 decides which side of the ledger each cost lands on. Subscriptions are always paid by your business.
BookingCentral has no monthly subscription, and every feature is included. Our booking fee is quoted per operation and gets better as your volume grows, so we'll give you your exact rate on a quick call. A one-time onboarding fee, based on your operation, is quoted separately.
Based on each platform's published pricing where available, and on independent reviews and operator reports where it isn't. Many platforms don't publish rates, so check your own contract.
