Two strong tour-and-activity platforms, two different bets. TripWorks is the modern-UI option (4.9/5 on Capterra) with a $0/mo Standard plan that charges a 6% booking fee plus processing — roughly 9% effective. Peek Pro leans on native AI — Peek Copilot ships dynamic pricing, an influencer finder, and a 29-language translator — on a commission model that isn't published. This page compares them neutrally, with every claim sourced.
For context, the table below also includes EquipDash as a flat-fee third option — $23/mo + 2% instead of per-booking commission — so you can see how a subscription model stacks up against both.

Both are commission-based and demo-led. If you'd rather pay a flat subscription, run rentals as well as tours, or self-serve a trial, the third column in the table below is worth a look.

LOOKING BEYOND BOTH?
TripWorks and Peek Pro are both commission-based and demo-led. Operators who want a flat subscription, deeper rental tooling, or a self-serve start tend to land on EquipDash for three reasons.
$23/mo + 2% (optionally passed through) instead of TripWorks' ~9% or Peek Pro's ~8–10% effective take. As booking volume climbs, a subscription keeps far more of every sale.
Native item tracking, bundles, and maintenance logs sit alongside tours, experiences, and walk-in POS. Neither TripWorks nor Peek Pro ships a maintenance module.
A 21-day trial with no demo call and no card, plus Dash AI, Dash Agents, and MCP so you can run your business from ChatGPT or Claude. 4.9 across G2, Capterra, and SourceForge.

Contact UsIt depends on volume, but the headline rates are similar. TripWorks Standard is $0/mo + a 6% booking fee plus 2.9% + $0.30 processing — roughly 9% effective, and it is published. Peek Pro charges ~6–8% per booking plus 2.3% + $0.30 processing — roughly 8–10% effective — but does not publish pricing, so it varies per booking and is quoted on a demo. TripWorks is the more transparent of the two; both cost far more per booking than a flat subscription once volume is meaningful.
