Rezdy Pricing 2026: $49-$249/mo — Real Costs After Fees
Krzysztof Balon
CEO & Founder
Tour operator since 2012. Running tours in Kraków, Warsaw, and Gdańsk — 100,000+ guests per year.
I ran a multi-tour operation on Rezdy for six months in 2024, then helped two other operators migrate onto it in early 2025. The pricing page looks simple: three plans, pick one. Real cost? That depends on how many bookings you process, your average order value, and whether you actually need the advanced features on higher tiers. Here is what you will really pay.
Rezdy is headquartered in Sydney and owned by AKKR (a US private equity firm) — they acquired Rezdy for roughly $120M and merged it with Checkfront and Regiondo. Popular worldwide with tour and activity operators, their pitch centers on distribution — connecting you to OTAs and resellers through a 12,000+ agent marketplace. The good news: that marketplace access is included on every plan now. So before you sign up, you need to know where the real cost differences actually land.
Quick Answer
Rezdy pricing in 2026: Foundation $49/mo, Accelerate $99/mo, Expansion $249/mo. All plans charge a flat 3% per online booking — there is no tiered discount. Payment processing via RezdyPay: 1.45% + $0.30 domestic, 2.9% + $0.30 international. Channel manager included on all plans. No annual discount — month-to-month only, no lock-in. Free 21-day trial, no card.
Rezdy Pricing Plans Overview (2026)
Three tiers. Same 3% per-booking fee on all of them. The difference between plans is purely about features — gift cards, API access, webhooks, phone support. Here is what each plan gives you:
Foundation — $49/month
The starter plan. Booking widget for your website, product and availability management, customer database, automated confirmation emails, resource management, channel manager with 12,000+ agent marketplace access. Per-booking fee: 3% on online bookings, $1.00 flat on offline/agent bookings.
What you do NOT get: gift cards and packages, advanced reporting, priority support, API access, or webhooks. If you just take bookings through your own site and a few OTA channels with basic reporting, this works fine. Most small operators do not need more.
Accelerate — $99/month
Where mid-size operators land when they need more selling tools. Everything in Foundation plus: gift cards and packages, advanced reporting and analytics, priority chat support. Per-booking fee: same 3% online, $0.85 flat on offline/agent bookings.
The gift cards and packages feature is the main reason operators pick this plan. If you sell experience packages, combo deals, or gift vouchers as a meaningful revenue line, Accelerate gives you the tools to manage them natively instead of hacking around Foundation's limitations.
Expansion — $249/month
For bigger operations that need technical flexibility. Everything in Accelerate plus advanced API access, custom integrations, webhooks, phone support, and multi-location management. Per-booking fee: same 3% online, $0.70 flat on offline/agent bookings.
Does the math work? Since the per-booking percentage is the same across all plans, the only reason to pay $249 is if you genuinely need the API, webhooks, or phone support. If you are building custom integrations with your CRM, connecting webhooks to internal systems, or running multiple locations from one dashboard — Expansion is necessary. If not, you are overpaying for features you will not use.
| Feature | Foundation ($49/mo) | Accelerate ($99/mo) | Expansion ($249/mo) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Per-booking fee (online) | 3% | 3% | 3% |
| Per-booking fee (offline/agent) | $1.00 | $0.85 | $0.70 |
| Channel manager (OTA sync) | Included | Included | Included |
| Resource management | Included | Included | Included |
| Gift cards & packages | Not included | Included | Included |
| API access | Not included | Not included | Advanced + webhooks |
| Support | Priority chat | Phone + chat | |
| Payment processing (RezdyPay) | 1.45% + $0.30 domestic / 2.9% + $0.30 intl | 1.45% + $0.30 domestic / 2.9% + $0.30 intl | 1.45% + $0.30 domestic / 2.9% + $0.30 intl |
| Billing | Month-to-month (no annual discount) | Month-to-month (no annual discount) | Month-to-month (no annual discount) |
Per-Booking Fees: What They Actually Cost You
This is where operators get surprised. The 3% per-booking fee looks small in isolation. It is not small once you multiply it across a real month.
Say you run a food tour at $85 per person and process 120 online bookings per month. Here is the actual monthly bill on each plan (using domestic processing rates):
| Cost Component | Foundation | Accelerate | Expansion |
|---|---|---|---|
| Monthly subscription | $49 | $99 | $249 |
| Per-booking fee (120 x $85 x 3%) | $306 | $306 | $306 |
| Payment processing (1.45% + $0.30) | $183.90 | $183.90 | $183.90 |
| Total monthly cost | $538.90 | $588.90 | $738.90 |
| Effective rate on revenue | 5.3% | 5.8% | 7.2% |
Since all plans charge the same 3% booking fee, the only cost difference between plans is the monthly subscription. Foundation is always cheapest on pure cost. The reason to upgrade is never about saving on fees — it is about features you need.
Accelerate adds $50/month for gift cards, packages, and advanced reporting. Expansion adds $200/month over Foundation for API access, webhooks, multi-location, and phone support. If you do not need those features, Foundation at $49/mo is all you need — you get the same channel manager, the same marketplace access, and the same 3% rate.
Payment Processing Costs
RezdyPay is Stripe under the hood, but at rates lower than standard Stripe pricing for domestic transactions. You have three options:
- RezdyPay (Stripe-based): 1.45% + $0.30 for domestic transactions, 2.9% + $0.30 for international. Easiest to set up. Auto-reconciles in your dashboard. Funds hit your bank in 2-7 business days depending on country.
- Your own Stripe account: If you already have negotiated Stripe rates, connect your account directly and keep those rates. Useful if you process high volume across multiple tools and have a custom agreement. Setup takes maybe 10 minutes.
- PayPal: Supported with some limitations. The integration is looser than RezdyPay. Reconciliation needs more manual work. Rates depend on your PayPal agreement.
One gotcha: Rezdy's 3% per-booking fee is calculated on the full booking value BEFORE payment processing is deducted. A $100 booking? Rezdy takes its 3% on the full $100, not on the $96.25 you actually receive after RezdyPay's domestic cut. Small per transaction, noticeable at scale.
What Is Included vs What Costs Extra
Their pricing page lists features but blurs the line between "included" and "requires extra spend." Here is what you actually get for the monthly fee:
- All plans (Foundation and up): Booking widget for your site, product/availability management, customer database, automated emails, basic reporting, mobile checkout, promo codes, manifest/waiver management, channel manager with 12,000+ agent marketplace, resource management.
- Accelerate and up: Gift cards and packages, advanced reporting and analytics, priority chat support.
- Expansion only: Advanced API access with custom webhooks, multi-location management, phone support, custom integrations.
- Extra cost on every plan: Payment processing (1.45% + $0.30 domestic or 2.9% + $0.30 international per transaction), SMS notifications (pay-per-message, adds up fast), custom domain SSL for booking pages, and whatever third-party tools you plug in (Zapier, Mailchimp, etc.).
The key insight: unlike older versions of Rezdy's pricing, the channel manager is now included on all plans. You no longer need to upgrade just for OTA connections. The reasons to upgrade are now purely about selling tools (gift cards, packages) or technical capabilities (API, webhooks). If you only need bookings and distribution, Foundation handles it.
Rezdy vs FareHarbor: Pricing Comparison
This is the question I hear constantly. Different pricing philosophies, same job.
FareHarbor charges no monthly fee. Zero upfront. They make their money through a customer booking fee plus payment processing: roughly 6% total on bookings (varies by region, negotiable at high volume). No separate per-booking fee. It is all bundled.
Rezdy: monthly subscription ($49-$249) plus 3% per-booking fee plus payment processing (1.45% + $0.30 domestic). More line items on your bill. Cheaper at most volumes because of the lower processing rate.
| Factor | Rezdy (Foundation) | FareHarbor |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly fee | $49/month | $0 |
| Per-booking fee | 3% | ~6% all-in (booking fee + processing) |
| Payment processing | 1.45% + $0.30 domestic / 2.9% + $0.30 intl | Bundled into ~6% |
| Effective rate (100 bookings x $85) | ~5.4% of revenue | ~6% of revenue |
| Effective rate (300 bookings x $85) | ~5.0% of revenue | ~6% of revenue |
| Channel manager | Built-in (all plans) | Built-in (all plans) |
| Contract lock-in | Month-to-month | Month-to-month (but website hosting creates stickiness) |
| Free website | No | Yes (they build and host it) |
| Owned by | AKKR (US private equity) | Booking Holdings (Booking.com parent) |
My take after using both: FareHarbor is better if you want zero commitment upfront and like the free website. Genuinely free to start, and simpler pricing. The trade-off? You cannot bring your own payment processor. As you grow, you cannot negotiate your total rate down much. You are locked into their bundled percentage.
Rezdy wins on effective cost at any meaningful volume. With domestic processing at 1.45% + $0.30, your all-in rate (subscription + 3% + processing) sits around 5.0-5.4% of revenue once you cross 100+ bookings per month. That is roughly a full percentage point below FareHarbor for most operators. Connect your own Stripe with negotiated rates and it drops even lower. Our booking engine pricing comparison puts that effective rate side by side with every other platform on the market.
One more thing: FareHarbor builds and hosts your website for free. Sounds great until you want to leave and realize your site lives on their servers. With Rezdy, you embed a widget on your own site. You always own your web presence. For more on FareHarbor's model, see our FareHarbor pricing breakdown.
Hidden Costs and Gotchas
Things the pricing page does not tell you:
- SMS notifications cost extra. Want to text guests their meeting point info? That is pay-per-message on top of your plan. Expect $0.05-$0.15 per SMS depending on country. At 200 bookings/month with a confirmation and a reminder each, you are adding $20-$60/month.
- The channel manager is not free distribution. It connects you to Viator, GetYourGuide, etc. But those OTAs still charge their own 20-30% commission. The channel manager is a pipe. You pay on both ends. I have seen operators hear "channel manager included" and assume distribution is free. It is not.
- International processing doubles the rate. If a significant portion of your customers book with international cards, your processing cost jumps from 1.45% to 2.9% per transaction. For operators in tourist-heavy destinations where most customers are international — that is most of your transactions at the higher rate.
- Custom booking page domain. Default: your bookings live at yourcompany.rezdy.com. Want your own domain with SSL? Extra DNS config, sometimes extra cost.
- Migration time is the real cost. Rezdy does not charge for onboarding. But migrating from another system means re-entering products, re-configuring pricing, reconnecting OTA channels, and testing everything. Budget 2-4 weeks for a mid-size operation. That time is not free.
- Per-booking fee on $0 bookings. Process a comp ticket for a journalist or a partner fam trip? The minimum per-booking fee still fires. Minor, but annoying.
Who Is Rezdy Best For?
Rezdy is good, but it is not for everyone. Here is who it fits:
- Multi-channel operators. Selling through your website, Viator, GetYourGuide, hotel concierge deals, and local resellers? Rezdy's channel manager and 12,000+ agent marketplace were literally built for this use case — and they are included on every plan.
- Cost-conscious operators (50+ bookings/month). With domestic processing at 1.45% + $0.30, your all-in rate is significantly lower than FareHarbor's bundled ~6%. The $49 monthly subscription pays for itself quickly.
- Operators who want to own their web presence. Rezdy embeds on YOUR site. Your brand, your domain, your SEO. You are not handing your digital presence to a booking platform.
- APAC-based operators. Sydney-headquartered means solid support for AUD/NZD, APAC timezones, and local payment methods. If you operate in Australia, New Zealand, or Southeast Asia, the regional fit is noticeably better than US-first competitors.
Who should skip it:
- Tiny operators (under 30 bookings/month). The monthly fee eats your margins. Use FareHarbor (free) or a plain Stripe checkout until you have the volume to justify a subscription.
- Operators who need a website built. Rezdy does not make you a website. If you do not have one and do not want to build one, FareHarbor's free site is a better starting point.
- Operations-first problems. Rezdy is a booking engine. If your real pain is guide scheduling, financial reconciliation across channels, or multi-day trip logistics, you need an operations platform alongside it (or instead of it).
How Rezdy Fits the Bigger Picture
A booking engine is one layer of your stack. Rezdy takes bookings, syncs availability, processes payments. It does not run your operation.
Most operators I work with land on a three-layer setup: a booking engine (Rezdy, FareHarbor, or Bokun) for the customer-facing flow, OTA channels (Viator, GetYourGuide) for discovery, and something to manage the operational mess - who is guiding tomorrow, where does the money actually go, what breaks when a booking changes last-minute.
If you are comparing booking engines more broadly, our Viator vs GetYourGuide comparison covers the OTA side. Your booking engine choice and your OTA strategy have to work together.
That gap between "booking engine" and "actual operations" is where Automate.travel sits. Rezdy takes the booking. We handle what comes after: guide assignments, a consolidated timeline across all channels, and financial reporting that pulls together Rezdy payouts, OTA settlements, and cash bookings in one view.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does Rezdy cost per month?+
Three plans: Foundation at $49/month, Accelerate at $99/month, and Expansion at $249/month. All plans charge 3% per online booking. Payment processing via RezdyPay (powered by Stripe) adds 1.45% + $0.30 for domestic transactions or 2.9% + $0.30 for international. There is no annual billing discount — all plans are month-to-month with no lock-in.
Does Rezdy charge per booking?+
Yes, always. Every plan charges a flat 3% on online bookings — there is no tiered discount for higher plans. For offline or agent bookings, the fee is a flat dollar amount: $1.00 on Foundation, $0.85 on Accelerate, $0.70 on Expansion. The percentage is calculated on the net booking value after discounts or promo codes, and applies to every booking that flows through Rezdy — your website, a reseller, Viator, wherever it originated.
Is Rezdy cheaper than FareHarbor?+
Depends on volume. FareHarbor charges no monthly fee but takes roughly 6% on customer bookings (booking fee + processing combined, varies by region, negotiable for high-volume operators). Under ~50 bookings per month, FareHarbor wins because there is no fixed cost. Once you hit 100+ bookings at $80+ average order value, Rezdy's flat 3% plus lower processing (1.45% + $0.30 domestic) usually makes it cheaper overall.
Does Rezdy offer a free trial?+
21 days, no credit card. You get access to most features — enough time to load your products, test the booking flow, and connect a channel or two. If you need more time and you are actively setting up, their sales team will usually extend it.
What payment processor does Rezdy use?+
RezdyPay runs on Stripe: 1.45% + $0.30 for domestic transactions, 2.9% + $0.30 for international. You can also connect your own Stripe account (useful if you have negotiated rates) or use PayPal (with some limitations). RezdyPay gives you the cleanest integration with automatic reconciliation in your dashboard.
Can I switch Rezdy plans later?+
Yes. Upgrades happen immediately (prorated). Downgrades kick in at your next billing cycle. Since all plans include the channel manager and 3% booking fee, the main reason to upgrade is features: Accelerate adds gift cards, packages, and advanced reporting. Expansion adds API access, webhooks, and phone support.
