FareHarbor alternative

A FareHarbor alternative
where you keep the margin.

FareHarbor charges no subscription — it earns from a per-booking fee. TimeKey gives you a flat fee with a 0% commission option, your own website, AI guest agents and a channel manager.

FareHarbor is free to sign up for, which is why so many tour operators start there — but the software is not really free: it earns from a per-booking fee, either added to the guest’s total or absorbed out of your margin. It is also owned by Booking Holdings, which puts your business inside a larger travel ecosystem.

TimeKey lets you decide how you pay: start free with a small commission only on direct online bookings, or take a flat monthly fee with 0% commission and keep the whole margin. You get your own website on your own domain, a channel manager for GetYourGuide, Viator and Bokun, AI agents that answer guests on WhatsApp and the phone, and — if you run them — appointments and rentals in the same platform.

FAQ

Answers before you ask

It depends on your volume. FareHarbor charges a per-booking fee; TimeKey offers a flat monthly fee with 0% commission (or a free start with a small commission only on direct online bookings). Higher-volume operators usually keep more margin on a flat fee.
