Travora Hub vs PHPTRAVELS: Which Travel Booking Software Fits Your Agency?

Key features

• Monthly vs one-time

  Travora Hub: $40 or $120 a month at launch prices, no setup fee, no per-booking fee. PHPTRAVELS: a one-time licence at $2,499, $4,999 or $9,999. Below the top plan, updates are bought separately.

• Setup time

  We configure your site, domain and supplier accounts, usually in about 48 hours. PHPTRAVELS includes free installation: 7 to 10 business days on Startup, 1 to 2 on Agency and 4 to 6 hours on Enterprise.

• Hosted and maintained vs self-hosted

  On Travora Hub, servers, SSL, security fixes and supplier API changes are our job. With PHPTRAVELS the software runs on your own server. Maintenance is included on Enterprise and otherwise quoted separately.

• Free trial vs shared demo

  Travora Hub has an open demo site and a 5-day free trial with no card. PHPTRAVELS has a free shared demo with no card and no time limit, covering admin, customer, agent and supplier logins, after a short form. It lists no free trial.

• Hajj, Umrah and Gulf payments built in

  Makkah and Madinah inventory through Billbed, RateHawk and others, room-type Umrah packages with seat limits, and MyFatoorah and Safepay alongside Stripe.

• Source code

  PHPTRAVELS includes full source code access under a commercial licence, with modification rights that depend on the plan and code customisation rights on Enterprise. Travora Hub does not: you configure it, we build it.

What each one costs over three years

Take a common setup: a customer-facing website selling hotels and flights, with card payments, on your own domain. What you pay depends on which languages, currencies and sub-agent features you need, because PHPTRAVELS separates them by plan.

PHPTRAVELS sells three one-time plans, each with 15+ supplier API integrations, a B2C site and free installation. Startup is $2,499: English only, one currency, one domain and no updates. Agency is $4,999: unlimited languages with right-to-left, still one currency. Enterprise is $9,999: unlimited currencies and domains, the B2B agents portal, lifetime updates and maintenance. Hosting is on your own server, or quoted separately, and its pricing page gives no price for hosting or for updates on the lower plans.

On Travora Hub, hotels and flights on your own domain is the Professional plan at $120 a month: $4,320 over three years, with eight languages including Arabic and Urdu, hosting, SSL, maintenance and supplier API updates included. Agencies selling hotels only can start on Basic at $40 a month, $1,440 over three years. Sub-agents are on the quoted On Demand plan.

So the honest answer depends on the plan. Before hosting, updates and any developer time, the $2,499 licence passes the cost of Professional at about 21 months, the $4,999 licence at about 42 months and the $9,999 licence at about 7 years. If a licence fits your needs and you already run servers, it can be the cheaper route. Our monthly price buys having nothing to run and no upfront bill.

Setup and who does the work

With Travora Hub you fill in a short application, we set up a demo site, then we connect your domain, branding, supplier accounts and markup. Most agencies take their first booking in about 48 hours and never touch code.

With PHPTRAVELS, installation is included free and the software runs on your own server and domain. Its pricing page states 7 to 10 business days on Startup, 1 to 2 on Agency and 4 to 6 hours on Enterprise, while its homepage says a standard installation is live within a day, so confirm your date with them. After that, the server, and any code changes you want, are yours to arrange unless your plan covers them.

Suppliers and products

Travora Hub connects hotels from RateHawk, WebBeds, Hotelbeds and Billbed, flights through Duffel and PKFARE, and tours through Viator, each on your own supplier account, with TBO available on request. On the On Demand plan one hotel search checks several suppliers at once.

PHPTRAVELS lists more than 40 integrations on its integrations page, including the Amadeus, Sabre and Travelport GDSs, plus Duffel, PKFARE, TBO, RateHawk and Hotelbeds, with products such as cars, rail, ferries and eSIM. Its plans state 15+ integrations each, so ask which ones your plan covers. If you sell GDS air tickets or ground transport, that breadth matters, and Travora Hub does not offer those today. That page does not list WebBeds, Billbed or Safepay.

Choose PHPTRAVELS if…

You want the source code on your own server, you can run or pay for that server, you need GDS flights or car, train and ferry booking, or you would rather pay once than pay monthly for many years.

Choose Travora Hub if…

You want to sell hotels, flights, tours or Umrah packages this week without hiring anyone, you would rather pay monthly than a large upfront sum, you sell in the Gulf, Pakistan or the UK and need Arabic or Urdu, MyFatoorah or Safepay, or you run sub-agents and want a B2B portal and a WhatsApp CRM from the same company.
