How much does a booking system cost in the UAE?

There are three ways to pay for online bookings, and they do not cost the same at all once your business grows. Here is how to compare them, in dirhams.

No setup fee · No commission on your bookings · English & Arabic

1. Booking platforms that take a commission

Many booking tools are cheap or free to start, then take a percentage of every booking, often between 1% and 6%, on top of payment fees. It feels painless with a few bookings and becomes a real line in your costs when the season is busy.

2. Resellers and travel platforms

Marketplaces and resellers bring you customers, but they usually keep 20% to 30% of the price. They are useful to fill empty slots; they are expensive as your main source of bookings, and the customer relationship stays with them.

3. A fixed monthly fee

With a fixed fee, the price does not move with your bookings: a busy month costs the same as a quiet one. This is how we work: one monthly plan, no setup fee and no commission, with hosting, maintenance and support included.

A simple example

Take a business with AED 100,000 of bookings in a month. A 3% commission costs AED 3,000 that month. If a quarter of those bookings come through a reseller keeping 25%, that is another AED 6,250. A fixed plan stays the same, however strong the month is. Run the numbers with your own figures: the busier you are, the more a fixed fee makes sense.

What to ask any provider

Is there a setup fee? A commission per booking? Who owns the customer data? Does it work on WhatsApp, where your customers actually write? Is it in Arabic? Who do you call when something breaks on a Friday night?

Clear monthly plans. No surprise.

Hosting, maintenance and support are included, and you talk directly to the people who build your project.
