Detailed Platform Comparisons

Honest comparisons with popular alternatives

AviaCMS vs. BookingKit
Booking Platform

BookingKit is a German booking system focused on activity providers. While they offer solid booking features, AviaCMS provides better value with zero transaction fees and more comprehensive travel-specific features.

Why Choose AviaCMS

  • No transaction fees (save €3k-€5k/year)
  • Built specifically for travel businesses
  • Multi-domain management included
  • Free unlimited integrations
  • Faster setup (24 hours vs weeks)

BookingKit Limitations

  • Extra costs for integrations
  • Limited to single domain
  • Complex setup process
  • No built-in marketing tools
AviaCMS vs. FareHarbor
Tour Booking

FareHarbor is popular for tour operators but locks you into their ecosystem with high transaction fees. AviaCMS gives you more freedom, better pricing, and complete ownership of your business.

Why Choose AviaCMS

  • Zero transaction fees forever
  • Own your customer data
  • Complete customization freedom
  • Support for cars, bikes, tours & transfers
  • No vendor lock-in

FareHarbor Limitations

  • 6% booking fee (very expensive)
  • Limited customization options
  • Vendor lock-in concerns
  • Limited multi-service support
  • Higher total cost of ownership
AviaCMS vs. Rezdy
Tour & Activity

Rezdy offers a comprehensive platform but comes with monthly fees PLUS transaction fees. AviaCMS provides similar features at a fraction of the cost with predictable, transparent pricing.

Why Choose AviaCMS

  • Single predictable monthly fee
  • No per-booking charges
  • Built-in CRM and marketing
  • Better value for money
  • Travel industry focus

Rezdy Limitations

  • Monthly fee + transaction fees
  • Expensive at scale
  • Complex pricing structure
  • Additional costs for features
  • Limited included integrations
AviaCMS vs. WordPress + Booking Plugins
DIY Solution

While WordPress offers flexibility, managing plugins, updates, security, and integrations becomes a full-time job. AviaCMS provides a complete, managed solution so you can focus on your business, not technical maintenance.

Why Choose AviaCMS

  • Everything works out of the box
  • No technical maintenance needed
  • Professional support included
  • Automatic updates & security
  • Purpose-built for travel businesses

WordPress Limitations

  • Requires technical knowledge
  • Plugin conflicts and compatibility issues
  • Security vulnerabilities
  • Constant maintenance required
  • Hidden costs add up quickly
AviaCMS vs. Custom Development
Build Your Own

Building a custom solution gives you complete control but costs €50,000-€200,000+ and takes 6-12 months. AviaCMS offers 90% of the benefits at 1% of the cost and you're live in 24 hours.

Why Choose AviaCMS

  • Live in 24 hours, not months
  • €99/month vs €100k+ investment
  • Continuous updates & improvements
  • Professional support included
  • Zero technical risk

Custom Development Risks

  • €50k-€200k+ development costs
  • 6-12 months before launch
