TripStub is the booking platform that is free for tour, activity, and rental operators. It replaces the subscription-or-commission model that dominates the category with a self-funded alternative: operators pay nothing, and TripStub earns referral fees from optional payment gateways and OTA connectors. The platform ships every capability — inventory, availability, pricing, channel distribution, gate check-in, vouchers, reviews, crew management — with no tiering. Built by a founder who grew up in operations-tech and is targeting the verticals he's worked with, TripStub aims to keep operator margins where they belong: with operators. The platform is in open beta across multiple verticals including sailing charters, kayak rentals, cooking classes, walking tours, bike rentals, and escape rooms.

TripStub is a booking platform for operators of tours, activities, and rentals — sailing charters, kayak rentals, cooking classes, walking tours, bike rentals, escape rooms, and everything in between. Unlike the incumbents in its category, which fund themselves on operator subscriptions (typically $99–$500/month) or per-booking service fees (typically 5–6% of booking value), TripStub is free: operators pay nothing, with no subscription tier, no per-booking fee, and no upgrade gate. TripStub instead earns revenue from optional integrations — a referral fee when operators connect a Stripe or Adyen payment gateway, a revenue share on premium OTA connectors — which aligns TripStub's incentives directly with operator growth. The platform's scope is comprehensive: inventory and availability management, multi-tier pricing, channel distribution to every major OTA (Viator, Klook, GetYourGuide, TripAdvisor Experiences, and more), operator-branded storefronts on custom domains, gate check-in for phone-first venue ops, native product reviews, crew rostering, gift vouchers, and a public REST API with an OpenAPI specification. Every capability is included. TripStub is self-funded (no venture capital), ships a public roadmap with operator voting, maintains a public changelog, and publishes honest comparison pages against every major competitor. The company is based in the US and operates remotely.
