Short answer: if you pay TrekkSoft a subscription plus per-booking fees while every booking arrives as a message, the variable half is buying you nothing. Retveno charges one flat price with no per-booking fee. It has no booking desk and no partner network, so if you run a counter, stay where you are.
TrekkSoft is a Swiss booking and channel-management platform for tour and activity operators, sold as a monthly subscription with per-booking fees charged on top.
No credit card required · Your guests keep using the apps they already love
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.
TrekkSoft grew up around European operators who need a booking desk and channel management together — destination-level businesses with counters and agents. Smaller operators moving away are usually paying for both halves and using neither: no desk, no agents, just a phone with a full inbox.
A monthly subscription with per-booking fees on top gives you a fixed cost you can plan and a variable cost you cannot. The variable half is the one that grows with a good season, which is the season you least want to be sharing.
TrekkSoft pairs channel management with a booking-desk workflow built for European operators handling walk-ins and partner sales side by side. If you run a physical desk and a partner network at once, that combination is its strength. Retveno assumes the booking arrives as a message, not over a counter.
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.
Only if agents or OTAs are actually filling your trips. If your bookings arrive as messages from people who already found you, a channel manager is infrastructure with nothing plugged into it — and it is usually the more expensive half of the bill.
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.
TrekkSoft is sold as a monthly subscription with per-booking fees charged on top, so a quoted plan price is only half the answer — and the half that moves in a good season is the other one. Ask what the per-booking fee is on direct bookings before comparing monthly tiers against anything else. 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.
