vs. FareHarbor
The honest FareHarbor alternative for South African operators.
R2,000/month flat. Zero commission. Built on Yoco. Hosted in SA. Live in 48 hours.
Why operators leave
FareHarbor charges 6% on every booking — passed to your customers as a visible surcharge. We've watched that torpedo conversion at checkout.
The maths gets uglier as you grow: R110,000 a month puts you at R6,600 in fees; R250,000 a month puts you at R15,000. With Booking·Tours you pay R2,000 flat — forever.
