Where the numbers cross

Twelve months of Cove Booking costs $4,800. A 3% software fee reaches $4,800 at $160,000 in annual booking receipts. Below that point, the percentage fee costs less; above it, Cove Booking’s software charge costs less. This compares software charges only, assuming the same receipts are subject to the percentage fee.

Count the quiet months

A seasonal fleet should calculate the full year. At $100,000 in bookings, a 3% charge is $3,000, which is $1,800 below Cove Booking. At $300,000, it is $9,000, which is $4,200 above Cove Booking. Do not turn a good summer month into an annual forecast without accounting for the off-season.

Test the work behind the price

Use a real rental scenario in both demos: two boats, overlapping requests, one shared tube and a maintenance block. Then ask staff to find a missing agreement and an outstanding balance. Cove Booking brings those rental details into a shared operator workspace. A walkthrough should establish whether it fits your dock.

Choose with the whole cost in view

Cove Booking is worth evaluating when predictable software spending and per-boat operations matter to you. Also compare website work, migration, processing, support and communication usage. Request a written scope from both providers before making the switch.
