Why operators are switching

Common frustrations with Checkfront

Double dipping: subscription AND percentage fees

You're paying $99/month just to access the platform, then 3% on every booking. On a $500 trip, that's $15 gone each time.

Built for rentals and tours, not charters

Checkfront handles kayak rentals and bus tours well. Fishing charters with weather policies and guest waivers? Not so much.

Owned by Rezdy — pricing keeps climbing

After the merger, Checkfront aligned with Rezdy's expensive model. Many longtime users are looking for alternatives.
