The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Corporate Traveller service quality depends heavily on the individual consultant assigned, and a consultant leaving is a real disruption because the relationship rather than the software carries the institutional knowledge.; 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: Corporate Traveller covers Melon booking platform, TicketingHub covers No monthly fee.
  • 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.

Corporate Traveller

  • Service quality depends heavily on the individual consultant assigned, and a consultant leaving is a real disruption because the relationship rather than the software carries the institutional knowledge.
  • Agency revenue includes supplier commissions and overrides that are not disclosed to the client, so the cheapest option for you and the most profitable option for the agency are not always the same booking.
  • Melon is competent but narrower than TravelPerk or Navan on self-service features, and companies that genuinely want no human involvement will resent paying for one.
  • Consultant-assisted bookings carry meaningfully higher fees than online ones, and the fee mix is where an apparently cheap contract turns expensive.
  • It operates through separate country entities with different content, contracts and service hours, so a multi-country roll-out is several negotiations rather than one.

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

Corporate Traveller: Can I buy Melon without the consultant service?

No. Melon is sold as part of the managed Corporate Traveller service, not as standalone software.

TicketingHub: What does TicketingHub cost?

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

Corporate Traveller: Who owns it?

Flight Centre Travel Group, listed in Australia. Corporate Traveller is its SME brand, distinct from FCM which serves large enterprises.

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.

Corporate Traveller: Does it disclose supplier commissions?

Not by default. If commission transparency matters, ask for it explicitly in the contract before signing.

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.
