  • They diverge on capability: BCD TripSource covers Trip timeline, Rezdy covers Session and capacity management.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 1 September 2026.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

BCD TripSource

  • It cannot be bought or used without a BCD Travel TMC contract, so it is not a genuine alternative to an independent app like TripIt for a company using a different agency.
  • Feature depth trails purpose-built consumer itinerary apps, and companies sometimes end up recommending a personal TripIt subscription alongside it for travellers who want more.
  • Because it is bundled, there is no separate pricing to negotiate down, and the cost is buried inside the overall BCD Travel service fee.
  • Manually forwarded bookings made outside BCD Travel channels are not always captured cleanly, leaving gaps in the trip timeline for off-channel purchases.
  • Switching TMC away from BCD Travel means losing the app entirely, adding a hidden switching cost beyond renegotiating the agency contract itself.

Rezdy

  • Rezdy, Checkfront and Regiondo have shared an owner since 2023, so an operator running a three-way comparison is choosing between products from one company with one roadmap.
  • Every tier carries a percentage booking fee on top of the subscription, so the cheapest plan is the most expensive per booking and the true cost rises with success rather than staying fixed.
  • The marketplace is the main reason to be there, and its reseller depth varies sharply by destination; in a market with few connected agents you are paying a distribution premium for nothing.
  • Setting up complex products with shared resources across sessions is fiddly, and operators regularly need vendor assistance rather than configuring it unaided.
  • Payment processing is layered on top of the booking fee, so the effective take on each reservation is materially higher than the advertised percentage suggests.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

BCD TripSource: Can we buy TripSource without using BCD Travel as our agency?

No. It is bundled with a BCD Travel managed travel contract and is not sold separately.

Rezdy: Who owns Rezdy?

Expedition Software Holding, backed by Vertica Capital Partners, which also owns Checkfront and Regiondo following a 2023 rollup.

BCD TripSource: Is the app free for travellers?

Yes, once the employer is a BCD Travel client, travellers download it at no separate charge.

Rezdy: Does Rezdy charge on direct website bookings?

Yes. The booking fee applies to bookings processed through the platform, including those from your own site, on top of card processing.

BCD TripSource: Does it replace an online booking tool?

No, it is an itinerary and alert hub; booking happens through BCD Travel's separate online booking tool or agents.

Rezdy: What is the marketplace worth?

It depends entirely on your destination. Where agent and concierge traffic is significant it is the main reason to buy Rezdy; where it is not, the value collapses.

Rezdy: How much does it really cost per booking?

Add the tier booking fee, roughly 1.75 to 2 per cent, to your card processing rate, then add the monthly subscription spread across your volume.
