Peek Pro pricing, fees, and cost, next to Tarn's.
The questions people search for, answered with the numbers, and a calculator for your own trip price.
- How much does Peek Pro cost?
- Peek Pro doesn't publish a rate card; pricing is set on a sales call. Operators report that the all-in cost lands around 9% per booking once Peek's booking fee and its payment processing are added together, and that fee is typically passed to the guest at checkout.
- What does 9% do to a $600 trip?
- About $54 per booking. On a $600 trip your guest pays $654 before tax, or you absorb the $54 in your price. Across a few hundred bookings a season, that's a meaningful line item for software.
- What does Tarn cost on the same booking?
- Tarn's platform fee is 3%, $18 on a $600 trip, stepping down to 2% as your trailing twelve-month volume grows. Card processing is Stripe's standard 2.9% + 30¢ on your own Stripe account, so all-in you're at $35.70 on day one and $29.70 at the top step, against roughly $54 on Peek. You choose whether that fee sits in your prices or on the guest's checkout line. No monthly fee and no contract.
- Is Tarn a Peek Pro alternative for an outfitter?
- Yes, and it's the narrower, better-fitting tool. Tarn is built for outdoor outfitters specifically: guide assignments, daily manifests, put-in locations, live river and weather conditions, deposits, and waivers are first-class. Setup is self-serve, and we migrate your bookings and contacts for free if you're switching.
Booking fee plus payment processing as operators report it, about 9% per booking.
$18.30 less per booking on Tarn, about $5,490 a season on 300 bookings.

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 whether to absorb the fee 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.
