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.
