The short version

  • Only Skyscanner has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: 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.; Skyscanner because Skyscanner is not the merchant of record for most bookings, customer service, cancellations and fare accuracy responsibility sit with whichever partner site the traveller is referred to, not with Skyscanner itself.
  • They diverge on capability: Regiondo covers Booking widget, Skyscanner covers Flight price comparison.
  • 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.

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.

Skyscanner

  • Because Skyscanner is not the merchant of record for most bookings, customer service, cancellations and fare accuracy responsibility sit with whichever partner site the traveller is referred to, not with Skyscanner itself.
  • Prices shown in comparison results can occasionally be inaccurate or unavailable by the time the traveller reaches the partner site, since prices are pulled from partner feeds that update on their own schedule.
  • Booking through a smaller, unfamiliar third-party travel agent surfaced in comparison results carries more risk around customer service quality and fare rules than booking directly with an airline or a well-known agency.
  • The referral fee business model can create an incentive to surface partners paying higher commission prominently, and Skyscanner does not publish which listed results are influenced by commission versus pure price ranking.
  • The newer direct booking option covers only some flights, so most bookings still route the traveller through a third-party partner site, meaning the core experience remains a redirect rather than a self-contained transaction.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

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.

Skyscanner: Does Skyscanner sell the ticket or hotel room?

For most results, no. It compares prices and refers the traveller to the airline, agent or hotel site to complete the actual booking and payment; it has recently added direct booking for some flights only.

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.

Skyscanner: How does Skyscanner make money if it is free to use?

It earns referral or affiliate fees from airlines, travel agents and hotel booking sites when a comparison click leads to a completed booking on their site.

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.

Skyscanner: Is Skyscanner the same kind of company as Booking.com or Expedia?

No. Those are merchants of record that process payment and hold the booking directly, earning commission or package margin. Skyscanner is a metasearch comparison layer that mostly refers travellers elsewhere to book.

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.
