The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Boostly the dominant cost is the one-off build fee, which is quoted rather than published and typically runs into the thousands, so the monthly figure hosts quote to each other badly understates the commitment.; TicketingHub the 3 per cent applies to cash and walk-up sales recorded in the system, not only to online bookings, which operators frequently miss and which makes on-site revenue more expensive than expected.
  • They diverge on capability: Boostly covers Custom WordPress site, TicketingHub covers No monthly fee.
  • 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.

Boostly

  • The dominant cost is the one-off build fee, which is quoted rather than published and typically runs into the thousands, so the monthly figure hosts quote to each other badly understates the commitment.
  • It is a website and a marketing programme, not a property management system; you still need and still pay for a PMS underneath it.
  • Results depend entirely on your own effort producing content and email, and a site with no traffic strategy produces no direct bookings regardless of how well it is built.
  • The build is WordPress, which means plugin updates, hosting decisions and the security exposure that comes with the platform, all of which land on you or on a paid maintenance arrangement.
  • Coaching and community are a large share of what you pay for, which is poor value for an operator who already has marketing capability and only wants the booking site.

TicketingHub

  • The 3 per cent applies to cash and walk-up sales recorded in the system, not only to online bookings, which operators frequently miss and which makes on-site revenue more expensive than expected.
  • At meaningful volume the model is expensive: a hundred thousand pounds of ticket revenue costs three thousand pounds a year, well above what a subscription platform with a lower booking fee would charge.
  • The 3 per cent excludes card processing, so the total take on each ticket is materially higher than the headline rate implies.
  • Enterprise discounts exist but are negotiated privately, so the published price is not the price for anyone with scale and there is no way to benchmark what a good deal looks like.
  • The product is a ticketing engine rather than an operations platform, with limited resource scheduling, customer relationship tooling and reseller management compared with the larger competitors.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Boostly: Is Boostly a property management system?

No. It builds direct booking websites and teaches marketing. Your PMS stays where it is and Boostly plugs into it.

TicketingHub: What does TicketingHub cost?

There is no subscription. It takes 3 per cent of every successful booking, plus your card processing separately.

Boostly: What does it actually cost?

Pricing is not published. The structure is a substantial one-off build fee, commonly quoted in the low thousands of US dollars, plus a smaller ongoing subscription.

TicketingHub: Does the 3 per cent apply to cash sales?

Yes. It applies across the board, including cash and in-person walk-up sales entered into the system, which is the detail most operators overlook.

Boostly: Do I own the website?

It is built on WordPress, so unlike a closed platform site you retain something transferable, though moving it off Boostly means taking on hosting and maintenance yourself.

TicketingHub: At what volume does a subscription platform become cheaper?

Roughly once ticket revenue passes about fifty thousand pounds a year, where 3 per cent begins to exceed a typical monthly subscription plus a lower booking fee.

Boostly: Will it replace Airbnb bookings?

Only to the extent you drive traffic to it. The site converts demand you generate; it does not create demand on its own.

TicketingHub: Can I negotiate the rate?

Yes for high volume. Enterprise rates are available but are not published, so you will need to ask directly.
