What does travel agency software do?
"Travel agency software" covers four different jobs, and most tools are strong at one or two of them.
CRM: leads, enquiry forms, follow-ups and a pipeline of open quotes. It looks after the sale before the client says yes.
Itinerary builder: day-by-day plans, proposals with photos, and a traveller app. It makes the trip look good to the client.
Booking back office: supplier bookings, references, payments, deadlines and confirmations. It looks after the trip once it is sold.
Tour operator system: contract loading, packaging, B2B agents and sales and purchase ledgers. It runs a business that builds its own product.
Decide which job hurts most before you book any demos. Our guide to the best CRM for travel agents goes deeper on the CRM side.
The shortlist at a glance
Confirmbee: supplier bookings, deadlines and branded confirmations. From £49 a month, then £4 per extra agent.
Travefy: itineraries and proposals. From $39 a month, billed annually.
TravelJoy: a low-cost CRM with client payments. From $19 a month.
Tern: an all-in-one CRM with itineraries. $35 to $49 per seat a month.
moonstride: tour operator and DMC systems. £495 a month for 5 users, plus setup.
Confirmbee: for agencies that run on supplier emails
Confirmbee turns supplier confirmation emails into bookings that the whole team can see. You forward the email or upload the PDF, the AI drafts the booking, and an agent checks it before it is saved. Cancellation, ticketing and payment dates are flagged, and each one can become a task. From any booking you send a confirmation, invoice or quote with your own logo, as a PDF, an email or a private link. Margins work across 160+ currencies with live rates.
Price: £49 a month for the first agent and £4 for each extra agent. The free trial is 14 days and needs no card.
Pick something else if you need a sales pipeline or day-by-day client itineraries. Confirmbee does neither, and some agencies run it next to Travefy for that reason.
Travefy: for agencies that sell on beautiful itineraries
Travefy is an itinerary and proposal builder first. Its itinerary page says it draws on more than 1.3 million hotels and content from 80+ cruise lines, and clients get a branded Trip Plans app. Smart Import reads a supplier confirmation into itinerary days.
Price, from Travefy's pricing page in US dollars: Core is $39 a month billed annually, Premium is $59, and extra agency seats are $20 a month each. The free trial is 10 days.
Pick something else if the itinerary is not what clients pay you for. Our Travefy pricing guide breaks down each plan.
TravelJoy: for solo advisors who want the cheapest way in
TravelJoy is a CRM with forms, invoices, itineraries and client payments built in. On Pro, Magic Email turns a forwarded supplier quote into a client proposal.
Price, from TravelJoy's pricing page in US dollars: Starter is $19 a month for up to 12 trips a year, with no AI and no team members. Pro is $32 or $39 a month, depending on how you pay. The trial is 7 days with no card.
Pick something else if several agents share bookings, or if you work in pounds or euros. Most of TravelJoy's tools are built for US advisors.
Tern: for teams that want one platform for everything
Tern pitches itself as a replacement for your CRM, itinerary builder, scheduler and forms. Every plan on Tern's pricing page lists a full CRM, itineraries, AI Assist with a monthly allowance, email sync and reports. Agency plans add commission reconciliation and supplier payment tracking.
Price, in US dollars: $49 per seat a month on monthly billing, or $35 per seat on quarterly or annual billing.
Pick something else if you only need the back office. You would be paying a per-seat price for a full CRM you may not use.
moonstride: for tour operators and DMCs
moonstride is a UK system built for businesses that package their own product. Its pricing page lists contract loading, an itinerary builder, quotes, customer documents, balance-due reminders and sales and purchase ledgers in the Pro plan. Higher plans add B2B agents, commission and markup, transfers and group tours.
Price: Pro is £495 a month and includes 5 users, extra users cost more, and setup starts at £1,500 one time.
Pick something else if you are a small retail agency that books through other suppliers. moonstride is priced and built for operators.

FAQ
What is the best travel agency software for a small agency?
It depends on where your hours go. Travefy suits agencies that sell on itineraries, TravelJoy suits solo advisors on a budget, Tern suits teams that want one platform, and Confirmbee suits agencies that lose time on supplier confirmations and deadlines.
Is there free travel agency software?
There is no full travel agency system that is free for good, but most tools have a free trial. Confirmbee's trial is 14 days, Travefy's is 10 days and TravelJoy's is 7 days. HubSpot has a free general CRM, but it is not built for travel bookings.
Do I need a CRM and a booking system?
Many agencies end up with both, because they do different jobs. A CRM looks after the sale, and a booking system looks after the trip once it is sold. Start with whichever problem costs you more time.
Which travel agency software works in pounds?
Confirmbee and moonstride both list UK prices in pounds. Confirmbee also works out margins in 160+ currencies. Travefy, TravelJoy and Tern list their prices in US dollars.
