Can I Choose who is going to pay the commission ?
FareHarbor does not give you the opportunity to choose between you and your client to pay the commission. You only have the option to make your customers absord the booking fee. With CaptainBook.io you have the option to either pass on the commission to the customer or absorb it.
CaptainBook.io has a clear pricing plan
Neither CaptainBook nor FareHarbot have a monthly subscription cost. But FareHarbor charges a 6% commission, which makes it one of the most expensive options on the market. On the other hand, CaptainBook's commission is only 4%.

Is CaptainBook User Experience better than Fareharbor?
If you ever wondered why some booking systems are really successful and others, well, not so much, the answer is simple: successful booking systems are designed and structured with customers' and users' experiences as their main focus.
Fareharbor's User Interface is outdated and difficult to use, as a result customers may never proceed with a booking.
CaptainBook’s interface however, is designed in a way that your customers would never feel lost using our booking system, and thus be are able to make a booking in an easy, intuitive and comfortable way.
"The CaptainBook Team are always super fast to respond and to resolve each little issue I have encountered during use. Their responsiveness and high level of customer service is something I noticed since day 1 and they’ve never failed me ever since."
