Comparison

TripStub vs Aluvii

Aluvii is a venue-management platform for amusement parks and mid-size FECs with strong hardware + POS integration. TripStub is the free-to-start alternative for operators who want ticketing + bookings without the full theme-park stack.

Short version

Aluvii's strength is the integrated POS + hardware story — cashless wristbands, kitchen printer integration, season-pass scanning. If you need all of that, Aluvii is probably the right fit. If you primarily need booking, timed-entry, and gate scanning — TripStub delivers those at $0, with memberships on our flat-rate Growth plan.

Aluvii's strengths
  • Integrated POS across rides + F&B + retail
  • Cashless wristband / RFID support
  • Season-pass + loyalty mature
  • Strong theme-park + larger-FEC customer base
Where TripStub is different
  • Free plan — $0 platform fee, no per-ticket fee on any plan
  • Self-serve signup; no enterprise sales cycle
  • Full REST API + OpenAPI in the free plan
  • Bring-your-own Stripe / Adyen
  • Public roadmap with operator voting

Assumptions: 22% is the midpoint of typical OTA commissions (15–30%); $299/mo is the median for SaaS booking platforms in this category. Your actuals will vary. TripStub's Starter plan is $0 regardless; Growth and Scale are optional flat subscriptions — no TripStub plan ever charges per booking or takes a commission.
