Tarn vs. Peek Pro
A simpler, outfitter-native alternative to Peek Pro — with transparent pricing and your own payment account.
Peek Pro is a capable activities platform aimed at a broad market, with an all-in cost (booking fee plus payment processing) that operators report lands around 9%. Tarn takes a different shape: one transparent usage rate that's as low as 4.9% all-in, your own Stripe account, and a workflow built specifically for outdoor outfitters.

What you get by switching.
Transparent, published pricing
One published rate — 3% per booking stepping down to 2% with volume, no monthly fee, and no contract. You decide how the fee is handled — absorb it in your prices or pass it on at checkout.
You own your data, your site, and your Stripe
Tarn embeds on the website you already own, runs on your own Stripe account with payouts straight to your bank, and lets you export every booking, contact, and waiver anytime. Nothing is held hostage.
Built for outfitters, not 'any activity'
Guide assignments, daily manifests, put-in locations, live river and weather conditions, deposits, and waivers are first-class — because Tarn is built for the water, not adapted to it.
Set up yourself in an afternoon
No mandatory demo, no multi-week onboarding, no implementation fee. Add your trips, share your booking link, and you can be live the same day.
If you want a large marketplace footprint and don't mind an all-in fee closer to 9%, Peek may fit. Tarn is for outfitters who'd rather pay one published rate as low as 4.9% all-in, keep their own Stripe, and run software built for the river.
