The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Guesty quote-only pricing, typically scaled by listing count, so small operators find it expensive per unit; 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: Guesty covers Multi-channel listings, 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.

Guesty

  • Quote-only pricing, typically scaled by listing count, so small operators find it expensive per unit
  • Aimed at professional managers rather than individuals with one or two listings
  • Channel sync depends on the booking platforms, whose API changes and outages surface as your problem
  • Breadth means individual modules are shallower than dedicated tools

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

Guesty: What does Guesty cost?

Guesty quotes based on listing count and modules and does not publish standard rates.

TicketingHub: What does TicketingHub cost?

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

Guesty: Is Guesty worth it for one property?

Generally not. It is built for professional managers with portfolios; individuals with one or two listings usually find the cost per unit hard to justify.

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.

Guesty: Which booking channels does it support?

Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com among others, synchronised from one inventory so a booking on one channel closes the dates everywhere.

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.

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.
