Comparison

TripStub vs GetYourGuide

GetYourGuide is a leading activities marketplace with strong European demand. TripStub is the operational backbone that sits under it — plus your own direct booking, which GYG alone can't give you.

Short version

GetYourGuide drives meaningful traffic in specific metros and verticals. TripStub doesn't replace that — we help you keep more of each GYG booking's margin and add direct-booking revenue that never touches a marketplace commission.

GetYourGuide's strengths
  • Very strong European demand generation
  • Polished customer-facing checkout
  • Mature experience-category search
  • Consistent OTA presence across mobile + desktop
Where TripStub is different
  • Own-site direct bookings: 0% commission vs ~25% via GYG
  • Free — GYG as a channel alone leaves you without operations tooling
  • Custom domain + branded storefront included
  • Full data export — no marketplace lock-in
  • Your prices on your site stay your prices
