Your tour guide takes guests on the experience. The platform shouldn't take a cut of it.
Walking tours, historical tours, winery tours, and ghost tours run recurring departures at moderate per-person prices. FareHarbor and Eventbrite take a percentage of every booking. Equaticket is a flat subscription. Pay once per month and keep every dollar your guide earned.
The problem
Per-person fees on recurring tours add up every single departure
A tour operator running 60 departures a month with an average of 12 guests at $35 per person brings in about $25,200 a month. At Eventbrite's rates, they're paying around $2,520 a month ($30,000+ a year) just for the privilege of collecting bookings online.
Per-tour fee models punish success. The more popular your tour, the more you pay. Equaticket's flat subscription is on a mission to end that: one predictable monthly cost regardless of how many guests walk through your door.
