Channel fee comparison

Compare your net payout on a booking across booking channels and direct booking, given each channel's fee. See how much a direct-booking strategy could keep in your pocket.

Fees are editable — real rates vary by market, plan, and cancellation policy. Confirm each channel's current terms.

Direct booking usually keeps the most per booking — but only once you account for the marketing, website, and support it requires.

How this tool works

  • Net payout = booking total × (1 − channel fee %) − payment processing (for direct).
  • You enter each channel's effective fee; defaults are editable because real fees vary by market, plan, and cancellation policy.
  • Direct booking applies a payment-processing fee instead of a channel commission.
