The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Chekin there is a three unit minimum on the published plans, so a single-property host cannot buy the entry tier at the advertised rate.; 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: Chekin covers Police and authority registration, 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.

Chekin

  • There is a three unit minimum on the published plans, so a single-property host cannot buy the entry tier at the advertised rate.
  • The compliance value is regional; outside Spain, Italy, Portugal and Greece there is often no authority integration to use and the product becomes an ordinary check-in form at a per property price.
  • Transaction fees sit on almost every money-handling feature, including 1.5% plus EUR 0.99 on payments and 10% on unified inbox transactions, so the effective cost is far above the subscription for anyone using them.
  • It is a layer on top of a PMS rather than a replacement, so you are paying a second per property subscription alongside your existing platform and reconciling two sources of guest data.
  • Identity verification and self check-in sit behind the Premium tier and Premium only includes one premium feature, so an operator wanting both verification and digital keys must move to Enterprise.

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

Chekin: Why would I buy this rather than use my PMS check-in form?

Because it files guest data with national police registration systems and calculates local tourist tax, which PMS check-in forms do not do.

TicketingHub: What does TicketingHub cost?

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

Chekin: What does it really cost?

From EUR 3.95 per property per month with a three unit minimum, plus 1.5% plus EUR 0.30 on deposits, 1.5% plus EUR 0.99 on payments, 1% on upsells and 10% on unified inbox transactions.

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.

Chekin: Does it work outside southern Europe?

The check-in, verification and key features do. The automated authority filing that justifies the price largely does not.

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.

Chekin: Can I get both identity verification and digital keys on Premium?

No. Premium includes one premium feature. Both requires Enterprise at EUR 7.95 per property per month.

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.
