Comparison

TripStub vs Peek

Peek (now Peek Pro) is a US-focused booking platform with a marketplace arm (PeekMarketplace). TripStub is the free alternative — same operational depth, no per-booking fee, optional marketplace presence.

Short version

Peek Pro charges a per-booking fee (around 6%) that's typically passed to the customer as a booking fee on top of your posted price. TripStub removes that fee entirely — and gives operators the choice of which marketplaces to be on.

Peek's strengths
  • Strong US-market brand recognition
  • Mature PeekMarketplace distribution
  • Polished customer-facing booking widget
  • Dedicated account management at higher revenue tiers
Where TripStub is different
  • No ~6% booking fee passed to your customer
  • Free — Peek Pro has monthly minimums + per-booking revenue
  • Full REST API + OpenAPI spec on the free plan
  • Custom domain included on every workspace
  • Your pricing stays yours; no mandatory marketplace listing
