What is your booking system actually costing you?
Software fees are only part of the story. The real cost of a booking system is the staff time it creates or eliminates across every declined booking, cancelled hire, bond return, invoice, reconciliation, and support request every single month. This free interactive tool lets you plug in your own venue data to calculate the true cost of using SpacetoCo versus Skedda, across software fees, staff time, and marketing spend. Based on real data from SpacetoCo venues, the average venue saves over 440 hours and $11,000 in time costs per year by switching.
Inside this tool, you'll find:
- A task-by-task time comparison. See exactly how long each booking management task takes on SpacetoCo versus Skedda, from declining bookings and processing bonds to invoicing, reconciliation, and customer support, so the difference is concrete rather than claimed.
- A full cost model you can customise. Enter your own monthly bookings, revenue, staff hourly rate, and support volume to get a total cost comparison specific to your venue, not a generic estimate.
- A net cost calculation that accounts for revenue growth. SpacetoCo grows bookings by 15 to 30% annually versus 5% on Skedda. The tool factors in that revenue difference so you can see the true net position of each platform, not just the licence fee.
