Replacing Bókun can mean changing the website checkout, the system staff use to run departures, or the connections that bring in reseller bookings. The replacement needs to cover the work you are moving, without losing confirmed places or the information staff need to deliver each activity.
Rezdy and Regiondo are relevant when reseller sales remain central. Gomry fits directly sold activities and prepaid local return visits. The wider shortlist also covers rentals, guest paperwork and attraction entry.
Which alternative fits your business?
| Your main requirement | Start with |
|---|---|
| Replacing channel management is central to the decision | Rezdy |
| Tour bookings, OTA connections and on-site payment workflows all matter | Regiondo |
| A direct activity program with prepaid local return visits | Gomry |
Decide whether the booking engine or the distribution layer is changing
When your website and resellers sell from the same pool of places, each booking changes the availability they share. When either sale arrives, staff need the date, party size and sales reference in the booking record. A replacement checkout alone does not handle the reseller connection.
Bókun also offers its Channel Manager separately for operators keeping another reservation system. In that case, replacing the booking system and replacing the distribution connection are two different decisions.
What Bókun already covers
Bókun’s channel manager updates availability across connected sales channels when a booking is made or canceled. Its resource tools also account for guides and equipment. If those tasks matter to your departures, changing the booking page will not replace them.
Bókun’s booking plans and separate Channel Manager
The paid booking plans list START at $49 a month plus 1.5% on applicable bookings, PLUS at $149 plus 1.25%, and PREMIUM at $499 plus 1%. These plans carry no Bókun booking fee on Viator reservations. The FREE plan covers basic Viator booking management and manual bookings; selling online starts with START.
The separate Channel Manager is priced by quote and charges a 0.5%–1.5% Bókun fee on Viator reservations. Bókun lists no booking fee for manually entered offline bookings across its plans. Phone, email and in-person reservations still need to be entered in the calendar. Payments through Bókun’s integrated point-of-sale (POS) service carry the selected plan’s booking fee, plus the payment provider’s card fees.
These are Bókun’s software and booking charges. They do not remove a reseller’s own commission or any payment-processing costs. Compare a replacement against the plan and sales channels you actually use.

Alternatives shortlist
Rezdy when channel management is the main requirement
Rezdy combines a booking calendar with connections to agents and online travel agencies (OTAs). Staff can handle reservations from those sellers alongside direct bookings. That makes it relevant when you need to replace Bókun’s reseller connections as well as its checkout. Rezdy also offers a standalone Channel Manager for operators retaining a separate booking system.
Rezdy’s Foundation booking plan starts at $49 a month plus 3% for online bookings. The booking plans include connections to agents and online travel marketplaces, so an operator can manage direct and reseller bookings in one plan. Fees for offline and agent bookings differ from the online rate; the final cost depends on the sales mix.
Regiondo for bookings, channels and local payments
Regiondo brings tour bookings, OTA connections and payment records into the same operation. Staff can record sales taken in person as well as online, with payment methods including cards, cash and PayPal. It is relevant when leaving Bókun also means rebuilding the calendar and payment records used at the sales desk.
Regiondo lists Grow at €59 a month and Pro at €99, billed monthly on a one-year contract. Paying for the year upfront saves 10%. Booking and payment charges are additional; the payment route and contract determine the applicable fees. Pro includes guest self-service changes and an application programming interface (API) for software connections, so Grow may not cover every part of your current setup.
Gomry for direct bookings and local return visits
Gomry supports operators building a direct activity offer for customers who return locally. Publish Experiences with dates and capacity, then offer Bundles covering selected activities. The customer buys visits first and reserves available sessions using that credit. A public Event remains a separate ticket purchase, with purchase and attendance history together in Contacts.
Setting the number of places and assigning a host are different tasks from sharing equipment between tours or updating inventory sold through OTAs. If you use Bókun for those jobs, they still need a supported solution after the move.
Gomry has no monthly platform subscription. Standard USD online ticket sales cost 3.9% + $0.79 per paid ticket, plus processing. Online Bundle fees apply once to the total pack price, including one fixed fee per purchase; fully credit-covered bookings add no service or processing fee. See currency-specific fees and conditions.
FareHarbor
FareHarbor combines activity reservations with inventory, staff tools and affiliate connections. It is relevant when Bókun’s replacement must give staff a departure list and keep partner sales connected to the operation. Its provider terms allow booking fees, processing fees and charges for additional services; use the terms offered to your business when comparing cost.
bookingkit
bookingkit is relevant when the move from Bókun also involves an attraction’s ticket sales and entrance operation. It combines booking calendars, resource management and reseller channels, with integrations for online shops, point-of-sale (POS) systems and turnstiles. Those entry and sales connections matter if staff must validate tickets at the venue as well as manage tour places.
Peek Pro
Peek Pro is worth considering when the Bókun replacement must handle equipment rentals as well as tour reservations. Its rental tools manage inventory, while digital waivers and a customer portal handle guest information before arrival. For a rental, staff need to know which item a customer has booked and when it is due back, not just how many people have a place.
Xola
Xola connects tour bookings with staff assignments, equipment management and on-site sales. It belongs on a Bókun shortlist when a confirmed departure also needs a guide and shared equipment. Its equipment tools allocate resources across products, so the comparison concerns what staff can deliver, not just what appears in the booking calendar.
Rezgo
Rezgo combines inventory and resource controls with reseller distribution, waivers and departure lists, or manifests. It is relevant if the Bókun records your team relies on extend beyond the sale: who is attending, which resources are needed and whether participant paperwork is complete. Its notification tools can send messages to staff, guests and partners when booking or inventory conditions change.
Checkfront
Checkfront fits operators whose bookings depend on a vehicle, room or item of equipment shared across activities. Its resource tools assign assets across products and manage their availability over time. When replacing Bókun, that matters if two departures draw on the same equipment: a place count alone cannot show whether the item is free.
Moving from Bókun: costs and existing purchases
Rezdy. Its customer CSV import matches fields such as names and email addresses and skips duplicate emails. This creates customer records. Keep the Bókun reservation dates, reseller references and any unused visits available separately so they can be accounted for in the move. A customer-list import is not a transfer of those bookings or permission to charge a saved card.
Regiondo. Support must enable its booking import before you upload the spreadsheet. Test one or two bookings first: operators cannot delete imported bookings themselves. Map each Bókun booking to the Regiondo offer, date and time. Imported bookings are marked paid, and the import can create time slots or overbook limited capacity. Check the result against actual payments and sold places before opening sales. Payment credentials and recurring agreements need their own handover.
Gomry. Preserve the Bókun bookings that arrived through each reseller, including their references, dates and participant counts. A contact record helps identify the customer; it does not reserve that departure in Gomry or carry over unused visits. Account for those commitments separately before replacing booking links. If recurring payments are also changing, agree when the old billing ends and the new arrangement begins so the same period is not charged twice.
