The short version

  • Only Sirvoy has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Sirvoy the channel manager is only on the Pro plan, so the Starter plan at €11 cannot connect to Booking.com and many buyers discover this after committing to a workflow.; 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: Sirvoy covers Commission-free booking engine, 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.

Sirvoy

  • The channel manager is only on the Pro plan, so the Starter plan at €11 cannot connect to Booking.com and many buyers discover this after committing to a workflow.
  • Each additional property costs €20 per month on top of Pro, and the multi-property view is weak, so small chains end up with several loosely linked accounts rather than one portfolio.
  • There is no revenue management or dynamic pricing, so rates must be set and adjusted by hand or through a third-party tool that Sirvoy may not integrate with.
  • Reporting is limited to basic occupancy and revenue summaries, which is not enough for a lender, an investor or a serious year on year analysis.
  • SMS is charged per message on top of the subscription, and at €0.10 per message on Starter a property sending pre-arrival and post-stay texts to a hundred bookings a month adds a meaningful and variable cost.

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

Sirvoy: Does the cheapest paid plan connect to Booking.com?

No. Channel management starts on the Pro plan, at roughly four times the Starter price.

TicketingHub: What does TicketingHub cost?

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

Sirvoy: Does Sirvoy take commission on direct bookings?

No. Direct bookings through its engine carry no Sirvoy commission, which is the main financial argument for adopting it.

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.

Sirvoy: Is there a contract?

No written contract and no setup fee. Billing is monthly or annual, with about 8% off for paying yearly.

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.

Sirvoy: What is the practical size limit?

It works well up to roughly thirty rooms. Beyond that the lack of revenue management and group handling starts to bite.

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.
