Short answer: Rezdy is a distribution platform, so the per-booking fee pays for a reseller network. If you never switched the channel manager on, you are paying for reach you do not use. Retveno is flat-priced with no distribution of any kind, so if agents fill your trips, Rezdy is the right tool.
Rezdy is an Australian booking and channel-management platform built around distributing tours through OTAs and resellers. It is priced as a monthly subscription plus a per-booking fee.

Built for operators
Connect your channels once and the messages customers send you on WhatsApp, Instagram and Messenger turn into ready-to-confirm bookings by themselves. No copy-paste, no typing, nothing for your guests to install — you just tap confirm. Only messages that mention a booking are ever read; never your private chats.
Unlike Rezdy or FareHarbor, we never take a cut of your bookings. One flat monthly price, every sale is yours.
Automatic SMS and WhatsApp reminders before each trip cut no-shows without you lifting a finger.

Most booking platforms take a per-booking fee or a commission on sales you sourced yourself. Retveno is a flat monthly subscription with 0% commission — bring the customers over your own channels and keep every euro. On 40 bookings a month at €60 average, a 6% fee is over €1,700 a year you simply stop paying.
Rezdy's centre of gravity is distribution: connecting your inventory to agents, OTAs and a reseller network. That is real value if resellers are how you fill trips. Operators who leave tend to be the ones who never switched the channel manager on — they are paying for a distribution layer while taking every booking themselves over chat.
It is sold as a subscription, with per-booking costs attached depending on plan and channel. The result is a bill with two moving parts, one of which scales with a good month. If the reseller network is idle, the honest question is what the variable part is buying you that the subscription does not.
Rezdy is built around a reseller marketplace and agent network, with the contracting and net-rate handling that comes with it. If you sell through agents at negotiated rates, that machinery is the whole job and Retveno does not do it. We are the better fit only for operators who never switched the channel manager on.
Send a Stripe checkout link in one click to collect a deposit, and let automatic WhatsApp and SMS reminders cut no-shows before each trip. Set departures with capacity so a full group never gets double-booked. Set up in an afternoon — no developer required.
Probably not wholesale. If agent and OTA distribution genuinely fills your calendar, a channel manager is doing a job Retveno does not do at all. The operators who switch cleanly are the ones selling direct; a mixed business is usually better served by moving only the direct side.
Most booking platforms report revenue and occupancy rather than margin, so the per-departure profit and loss — guide time, vehicle, equipment, per-guest costs — usually ends up in a spreadsheet next to the booking system. Retveno computes it per departure, including vehicles and guides as step costs, and warns you before you accept a booking that would push a trip below the profit floor you set. See how that works.
Rezdy is an Australian booking and channel-management platform built around distributing tours through OTAs and resellers. It is priced as a monthly subscription plus a per-booking fee. Retveno prices differently: a flat monthly subscription — free to start, €19 or €39 a month — with 0% commission and no per-booking fee, so what you pay does not move when the season does.
