Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.
Rezdy
- Rezdy, Checkfront and Regiondo have shared an owner since 2023, so an operator running a three-way comparison is choosing between products from one company with one roadmap.
- Every tier carries a percentage booking fee on top of the subscription, so the cheapest plan is the most expensive per booking and the true cost rises with success rather than staying fixed.
- The marketplace is the main reason to be there, and its reseller depth varies sharply by destination; in a market with few connected agents you are paying a distribution premium for nothing.
- Setting up complex products with shared resources across sessions is fiddly, and operators regularly need vendor assistance rather than configuring it unaided.
- Payment processing is layered on top of the booking fee, so the effective take on each reservation is materially higher than the advertised percentage suggests.
Sabre Red 360
- The commercial deal is a multi-year segment volume commitment, so an agency that moves bookings to airline direct connects can end up paying shortfall penalties on volume it no longer books through Sabre.
- NDC content behaves differently from classic EDIFACT content inside the workspace, and servicing an NDC order often means leaving the normal exchange and refund workflow.
- Cryptic entries remain necessary for a meaningful set of tasks, so training a new consultant to productive speed takes months rather than days.
- It is a desktop-weighted product on Windows, which makes it awkward for agencies running fully remote or Mac-based teams without virtual desktop infrastructure.
- Pricing is never published and is entangled with incentive economics, so two agencies of similar size can be on materially different terms with no visibility of each other.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages
Rezdy: Who owns Rezdy?
Expedition Software Holding, backed by Vertica Capital Partners, which also owns Checkfront and Regiondo following a 2023 rollup.
Sabre Red 360: Do we pay a licence fee for Sabre Red 360?
Usually not directly. It is bundled into a GDS segment agreement in which Sabre pays your agency incentives per segment, so the negotiation is over volume commitments and incentive rates.
Rezdy: Does Rezdy charge on direct website bookings?
Yes. The booking fee applies to bookings processed through the platform, including those from your own site, on top of card processing.
Sabre Red 360: Can corporates buy it to book their own travel?
No. It is an agent workspace. Corporates buy a TMC or an online booking tool such as GetThere, Egencia or TravelPerk instead.
Rezdy: What is the marketplace worth?
It depends entirely on your destination. Where agent and concierge traffic is significant it is the main reason to buy Rezdy; where it is not, the value collapses.
Sabre Red 360: Does it handle NDC?
Yes, Sabre distributes NDC offers from a growing airline list, but servicing NDC orders follows a separate flow from classic GDS bookings.
Rezdy: How much does it really cost per booking?
Add the tier booking fee, roughly 1.75 to 2 per cent, to your card processing rate, then add the monthly subscription spread across your volume.
