Calisto Pro

HOW WE COMPARE

Calisto Pro vs FareHarbor & Peek Pro

FareHarbor and Peek Pro are booking widgets. Calisto Pro is a full tour operator platform with multi-day itineraries, guide management, real-time booking, waivers, OTA distribution, customer portals, marketing automation, and 71 integrated products, not just an embeddable checkout.

WHAT BOOKING WIDGETS LACK

Running tours takes more than a checkout page

A booking widget handles the transaction. But managing guides, building multi-day itineraries, tracking equipment, ensuring safety compliance, and marketing to past guests requires a platform that FareHarbor and Peek Pro were never built to be.

  • Guide Management: Not Just an Availability Toggle

    FareHarbor lets you mark guides as available or unavailable. Calisto provides full guide operations: certification tracking with automatic expiration alerts, language capabilities, specialty skills, scheduling with conflict detection and overtime rules, payroll integration, commission tracking per tour, performance analytics, and a guide-facing mobile portal where they see their upcoming tours, route details, and guest manifests.

  • Multi-Day Itineraries: Not a Single Time Slot

    FareHarbor and Peek are built for single-session activities: a 2-hour kayak tour, a zip-line session. Calisto handles multi-day adventures: a day-by-day itinerary builder, accommodation and transport coordination per day, meal planning, checkpoint management with guest progress tracking, and automated guest communication at each stage. Perfect for multi-day treks, diving packages, safari circuits, or island-hopping tours.

  • Customer Portal: More Than a Confirmation Email

    FareHarbor sends a confirmation email. Peek sends a confirmation email. That's where the customer experience ends. Calisto Navigator gives every guest a self-service portal: view their upcoming tours with itinerary details and meeting points on a map, sign waivers digitally before arrival, upload required documents, message their assigned guide, leave reviews, and rebook for their next trip.

  • 7-Stage Booking Automations

    Confirmation, pre-arrival reminder, waiver nudge, day-of details, thank-you, review request, and rebooking offer. All automated with email and SMS delivery.

  • Abandoned Cart Recovery

    3-step email + SMS drip at optimized intervals. One-click resume links bring guests back to complete their booking. Recover 1 in 6 lost bookings.

  • Cancellation Protection

    Guests purchase optional protection at checkout. If they cancel, the protection covers the refund and you keep your revenue. Configurable premium per experience.

  • AI Dynamic Pricing Engine

    7-factor yield management with 6 rule types: date-based, time-based, occupancy, day-of-week, advance purchase, and group size. Cold-start intelligence for new experiences.

  • Photo & Video Delivery

    Upload photos per booking. Deliver via email, SMS, or guest portal. Track delivery status. Guests who receive photos are more likely to review and rebook.

  • Guest Self-Service Portal

    Guests view bookings, sign waivers, self-reschedule, download QR tickets, and manage their profile. All browser-based, no app download.

  • Cross-Promotion Engine

    After a kayak tour, suggest the sunset cruise. Full conversion tracking shows impressions, clicks, and completed bookings per promotion.

  • AI Daily Pulse Briefing

    Morning briefing with departures, expected revenue, utilization rate, unsigned waivers, equipment alerts, and low-occupancy slots you could still fill.

  • Self-Service Kiosk

    Touch-optimized tablet interface for walk-up guests. Browse, book, pay, and check in without staff. 48px buttons for outdoor and glove-friendly use.

  • 75 Payment Gateways (BYOP)

    Bring your own processor and keep your existing rates. Stripe, Square, MercadoPago, Cardnet DR, Azul DR, Redsys, M-Pesa, and dozens more regional gateways. Collect in the local currency with no per-gateway add-on fee.

Booking is just the beginning.

Peek Pro and FareHarbor handle online reservations and payment processing, then stop. The five-invoice stack fills the gap: a waiver platform, an OTA aggregator, an email tool, a guide scheduling spreadsheet, a reporting export. Calisto continues instead, with 7 automated guest touchpoints, abandoned cart recovery, cancellation protection, dynamic pricing, gear inspection that adjusts tomorrow's capacity, guide certification flags, photo delivery, a self-service guest portal, automated review collection, AI daily briefings, and cross-promotions. One platform from first click to 5-star review to rebooking.

2% of revenue. Not 6-8% per booking.

Peek Pro charges 6-8% per booking. FareHarbor charges 6% passed to the guest. Smartwaiver, an OTA aggregator, and a guide scheduling spreadsheet arrive as separate line items on top. Calisto charges 2% of revenue and includes 7 booking automations, dynamic pricing, guest portal, photo delivery, review collection, and 75 payment gateways. No per-booking fees, no per-ticket fees.

Choose your processor. Not theirs.

FareHarbor takes 6% of every online booking through their mandatory payment processing. Peek Pro charges 3–6% per transaction. Calisto connects to 75 payment gateways across 11 global regions. Keep your existing merchant rates. Your terms. Zero percentage taken from your bookings by your software provider.

Honest answers

Switching questions

Will I lose my Viator and GetYourGuide listings?

No. Calisto connects natively to Viator, GetYourGuide, and Airbnb Experiences. Your OTA listings remain active with real-time availability sync.

Does Calisto include a booking widget for my website?

Yes. Calisto provides an embeddable booking widget with dynamic pricing, group discounts, add-ons, and waiver collection at checkout. You choose your own payment processor with your own rates.

Does Calisto include dynamic pricing for tours?

Yes. Calisto's 7-factor intelligent pricing engine is built in. It covers demand, weather, day-of-week, season, competition, lead time, and historical patterns. No add-on fee required.

How does Calisto handle safety compliance?

Calisto Assure handles safety checklists, equipment inspection logs, guide certification tracking with expiration alerts, incident reporting, and compliance documentation. Digital waivers are handled by Calisto Sign with legally binding e-signatures. All records are audit-ready.

How does pricing work?

Setting up costs nothing and no card is required. You get full access to all 71 products with no feature restrictions. Core carries no additional cost. Commerce is a 1% revenue share. Every other suite is priced per app in the Marketplace.

Why do you charge a percentage of revenue?

Because it makes us partners, not a vendor. A flat subscription means your software company collects the same fee in your best month and your worst. A revenue share means we only grow when you grow. Slow month or off-season? Your bill scales down with you.
