FareHarbor alternative
The FareHarbor Alternative Built Only for Helicopter Tours.
FareHarbor is a capable generalist that serves every kind of tour and activity and takes a booking fee commonly reported at 6 to 8% of each sale. ExpeditionHQ serves one industry, models your fleet and partners natively, and charges $500/mo plus 1% of online sales.
FareHarbor’s no-monthly-fee model is genuinely good when you are starting out. The problem is what it costs once you are flying: 6 to 8% of every online booking, growing the better you run your business.
It is also a generalist: helicopter is one of dozens of activity types, so aircraft-type scheduling, passenger weight balancing, private-flight economics, and partner-organization commissions are not native. ExpeditionHQ is the opposite on both counts.
