FareHarbor vs TicketSpice

FareHarbor lands on Depends, and TicketSpice lands on Worth it.

FareHarbor

Depends

Confidence: Medium

A proven, widely used booking platform for tour and activity operators . take it if a ~6% per-booking commission beats running your own stack.

Worth it

Confidence: Medium

Buy if you run recurring, multi-day, or high-volume ticket sales . flat $0.99/ticket is cheap at scale and the platform is feature-packed.

FareHarbor versus TicketSpice
Compare	FareHarbor	TicketSpice
Verdict	Depends	Worth it
Best for	Tour and boat operators	Recurring and timed-entry attractions
Who it's not for	Tiny operators . a 6% cut guts thin margins	Once-a-year small events . annual cost may dwarf usage
Privacy	Core platform markets PCI-compliant payments and runs a public trust center; its WordPress plugin has two disclosed XSS CVEs.^⁹	No known public vulnerabilities found in the sources reviewed.¹⁴
Support quality	G2: users consistently praise support	No support evidence in sources
Public sentiment	Reviews skew positive with praise for support and ease of use, offset by Reddit complaints about fees and lock-in.^²	Review volume is high and skews positive on vendor and third-party platforms, but the small PissedConsumer sample is mostly dissatisfied.¹⁵
Biggest gotcha	Per-booking commission of ~6% (guides cite 6-8%) replaces a flat fee; costs scale with revenue.^⁷	Homepage cites a yearly cost on top of $0.99/ticket . model your volume's total before committing¹³
