TrekkSoft is an established Swiss tours-and-activities platform with built-in payments (Payyo) and a solid OTA channel manager. The catch is the cost structure: a monthly subscription plus a per-booking fee (3% direct online on the entry tier) on top of processing, all on a 12-month contract with no self-serve trial. It’s built for tours and tickets, so equipment rentals and AI aren’t the model. EquipDash is a transparent subscription from $23/mo + 2%, with no booking caps, native rentals and tours, included waivers, and Dash AI — and a free trial, no contract.

PRICING TRANSPARENCY
Both publish their rate cards — the difference is the per-booking fee stacked on the subscription, and the 12-month commitment.
Source: trekksoft.com/en/pricing
TrekkSoft’s built-in payments and channel manager are genuine strengths, but the per-booking fee means your effective rate climbs with volume on top of the monthly plan. On EquipDash the cost stays a flat $23/mo + 2% with no separate booking fee and no annual lock-in. TrekkSoft localises pricing by region — verify current rates and your tier’s fees before committing.
BALANCED VIEW
No platform wins on every dimension. Here's the honest split.
MIGRATION
Switching is straightforward. Export your customers, products and bookings to CSV from TrekkSoft, then import them straight into EquipDash. Start a free trial, run a real week in parallel, and move over when you’re ready — no sales call, no 12-month contract, cancel anytime. Time the move to the end of your current TrekkSoft term to avoid overlap.
OTHER OPTIONS
EquipDash isn't the only alternative. These three come up most often when operators compare against TrekkSoft.
Subscription plus up to a 3% booking fee, with a 100+ OTA channel manager as its standout. Published pricing and a free trial, so easier to test than TrekkSoft, but heavier on distribution and thinner on rentals.
Owned by TripAdvisor Experiences, with a strong marketplace and lower commission (~2.9%) than many rivals. Similar OTA focus to TrekkSoft, more setup effort, and weak on equipment rentals.
Mature tours-and-rentals platform with 40+ integrations and capacity-based booking. Now one plan (~$99/mo + 3%), no native AI, and thinner serial/maintenance tracking than a rental-native tool.
