New Pricing Plans to Power Your Growth
Starting September 22, 2025, Dtravel will introduce new pricing plans for all hosts. We're giving you more choice and more control over your business while keeping Dtravel the most powerful direct booking platform in the market at an affordable price.
Starting the week of September 22nd, Dtravel will introduce new pricing plans for all hosts.
Our flat 3% fee has been popular, but it isn’t sustainable for the long term. To keep building the tools you rely on while remaining a fraction of the cost of both direct booking solutions and major OTAs like Airbnb, we’re rolling out a new tiered model. This new approach gives you choice, flexibility, and more ways to save as your business grows.
What’s Changing
New Pricing Tiers
- Starter Plan – Free forever, includes everything you need to run a direct booking site.
- Pro Plan – $19/month for up to 4 listings, with reduced per-listing fees beyond that. Unlock advanced tools, lower fees, and revenue-boosting features.
- Enterprise Plan – Starting at $500/month, designed for large operators with at least 200 properties, custom-built solutions, and dedicated 24/7 support.
Variable Booking Fees
Instead of a flat 3% on all bookings, fees will now vary by plan and booking source—starting as low as 0% for direct bookings when you grow with Pro.
Pro Perks
Pro subscribers gain access to premium tools:
- Custom landing page designs and advanced themes
- Smart payment rules and deposit scheduling
- Security deposit and waiver automation
- Upsells for extra revenue
- Reduced transaction fees as your bookings scale
Why This Matters
We designed this new model so every host, whether just starting or managing hundreds of properties, has an option that fits their business.
- Always Free: The Starter Plan ensures you’ll never have to pay a monthly fee to run a booking site.
- Tools to Scale: Pro gives growing hosts powerful features to increase revenue and reduce costs.
- Better Economics: Even with the new pricing, Dtravel remains dramatically cheaper than other direct booking solutions or OTAs, while giving you more control and brand ownership.

FAQ
Why is Dtravel changing pricing?
Our flat 3% model was a great starting point but isn’t sustainable long-term. To keep improving the platform, reward growth, and remain significantly cheaper than OTAs, we’re introducing flexible tiers that better match different host needs.
Will there always be a free option?
Yes. The Starter Plan is free and includes essentials like your booking site, calendar syncing, payments, and growth tools.
How do booking fees work now?
- Direct bookings: 5% on Starter, reduced to 0% on Pro after $5K USD total booking volume.
- Google Vacation Rentals: 5% on Starter, 0% for Pro once at $5K.
- All other referred bookings (from Dtravel Metasearch, Collectives, partners): 9% for everyone.
What do I get with Pro?
Pro unlocks customizable website design, smart payment rules, damage deposit & waiver automation, upsells, and discounted fees.
How much is Pro?
$19/month for up to 4 listings. Additional listings cost $0.50–$2 each depending on volume.
How does this compare to Airbnb?
Even with the new structure, Dtravel fees are a fraction of Airbnb’s 14-16% guest + host fees. With Dtravel, you keep more revenue and grow your direct booking brand.
What do I need to do?
Nothing right now. On the week of September 22, 2025 your plan will automatically transition to Starter and you'll maintain all of your existing settings. You’ll be able to upgrade to Pro anytime in your dashboard.
Final Thoughts
We know pricing changes can feel big, but this update is built around one idea: giving you more choice and more control over your business while keeping Dtravel the most powerful direct booking platform in the market at an affordable price.
Thank you for helping us build the future of direct bookings.
