Why choose CaptainBook over Kleesto.
As an Experience provider or a Distribution Partner (Hotel, Airbnb host, travel agent) you might have wondered in the past which marketplace you should choose for your business. Even now you might be thinking if you are happy with your current booking engine or if you must shift to another.
You probably already know Kleesto's booking engine and channel manager. Kleesto is established in 2019 and since then offers digital solutions for Experience providers and Distribution Partners.
Kleesto is a nice solution, but the pricing scheme is a bit confusing.

Why is CaptainBook a better choice?
There are some notable differences between CaptainBook and Kleesto:
Booking Process: CaptainBook.io keeps customers on your website during the booking process, while Kleesto redirects customers offsite.
Widget: CaptainBook.io includes a customizable modal widget, while Kleesto's widget options are less defined.
Hellenic National Single Window system: CaptainBook offers the ability to customize and download a report, in excel form, that you can directly upload to the Hellenic National Single Window system saving you time and hassle! No need to manually fill your crew list, let the system do it for you!
Better UI: Kleesto's User Interface is outdated and very difficult to use, as a result, users may need constant support.
Customer Support: CaptainBook.io offers support through email, phone, and chat, ensuring multiple avenues for assistance. Kleesto however, provides support via email and phone, but does not offer chat support.
"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."
