The short version

  • Only Bokun has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Bokun viator bookings are exempt from the booking fee while your own direct bookings are not, so the pricing structure rewards selling through the parent marketplace rather than through your own site.; Regiondo a per-ticket fee applies on top of the subscription, so a high-volume operator selling many low-price tickets pays disproportionately compared with one selling few expensive ones.
  • They diverge on capability: Bokun covers Channel manager, Regiondo covers Booking widget.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 31 August 2026.

Where each one falls short

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

Bokun

  • Viator bookings are exempt from the booking fee while your own direct bookings are not, so the pricing structure rewards selling through the parent marketplace rather than through your own site.
  • The booking fee sits on top of the monthly subscription, so an operator on Start pays $49 plus 1.5% of direct online revenue and the plan price alone understates the cost.
  • The free plan is limited to a single user and constrained features, so any business with staff has to move to a paid tier almost immediately.
  • Adopting it deepens commercial dependence on Tripadvisor and Viator, which is uncomfortable if your strategy is reducing OTA commission exposure.
  • Reporting and back-office depth are lighter than dedicated operator platforms, so businesses with complex resource scheduling or multi-site operations often need workarounds.

Regiondo

  • A per-ticket fee applies on top of the subscription, so a high-volume operator selling many low-price tickets pays disproportionately compared with one selling few expensive ones.
  • Regiondo now shares an owner with Rezdy and Checkfront, so evaluating the three against each other is evaluating one company presenting three faces.
  • It was owned from 2019 to 2023 by the parent of Jochen Schweizer and mydays, an experience reseller, and operators who signed during that period were running their bookings through a system owned by a distribution competitor.
  • Strength is concentrated in German-speaking Europe; OTA depth, language coverage and support quality drop noticeably for operators in other regions.
  • The product is deliberately simple, and operations with complex shared-resource constraints across many products find the scheduling model too coarse.

Yes on the paid plans. Direct online bookings through your own widget carry 1% to 1.5% depending on tier.

Regiondo: How much does Regiondo cost?

From about 59 euros a month for Grow and 99 euros for the higher tier, with a small per-ticket fee on confirmed bookings and 10 per cent off for annual payment.

Bokun: Can I pass the booking fee to customers?

Yes, on the paid plans the fee can be added to the customer price rather than absorbed.

Regiondo: Who owns Regiondo?

Expedition Software Holding, backed by Vertica Capital Partners, since 2023. Before that it was owned by ProSiebenSat.1 within the Jochen Schweizer mydays group.

Bokun: Who owns Bokun?

Viator, which is part of Tripadvisor.

Regiondo: Does it charge commission on my own website bookings?

Not a percentage commission, but a per-ticket fee applies, so the cost scales with ticket count rather than with revenue.

Bokun: Is the free plan usable in a real business?

Only for a solo operator. It is one user with limited features.

Regiondo: Is it a good fit outside Germany?

It works, but the OTA connections, payment methods and support are built around German-speaking Europe first.
