This Travefy review prices Core, Premium, their added seats and the New Travel Agent Program, works out the yearly bill for teams of different sizes, and sets it against Tern and TravelJoy. Skip Travefy if you need month-to-month billing at a printed price, or agency reporting without a sales call.

Travefy Pros and Cons
Travefy’s main advantage is that one Core plan carries a trip from itinerary to invoice to commission; its main drawbacks are annual-only printed prices and agency tools priced by sales.
Pros
- One Core plan holds the itinerary builder, CRM, forms, website builder, invoicing and commission tracking, so a solo advisor can drop several tools
- Added Core seats cost a flat $20 a month, so each advisor after the first adds $20 x 12 = $240 a year
- Card authorization, passport upload and e-signature forms come with the CRM, for advisors who still chase paperwork by email
- Commissions fill in from an invoice with one click, which replaces a commission spreadsheet
- Bookings import from more than 200 integrated suppliers, including 80+ cruise lines by Travefy’s count, saving retyping for cruise sellers
- The 10-day trial needs no credit card and opens every feature of the chosen plan
Cons
- Every printed price is billed annually; the page mentions a monthly option but prints no monthly price
- Phone support needs Premium, $20 x 12 = $240 a year more for one advisor; a custom domain and business email hosting need Premium or, in a new agent’s first year, the New Travel Agent Program
- Revenue reporting, the shared template library, supplier management and the CRM API sit on Agency, a Contact Sales plan
- Supplier-statement matching appears on Travefy’s agency page but not in Core’s or Premium’s plan lists
- No free plan: after 10 days you pay or leave
Travefy Features
Core lists the selling tools a solo advisor uses daily: the itinerary builder, the CRM with forms, the website builder, and invoicing with commission tracking. Premium adds support and hosting, and Agency adds team reporting, shared libraries and the CRM API.
Itinerary and proposal builder
Travefy builds branded itineraries and proposals in a drag-and-drop editor, and Core lists AI Content Import. Bookings import from over 200 integrated suppliers, including 80+ cruise lines and 60+ land tour operators, by the count on Travefy’s itinerary page.
The library matters more than the editor for repeat work. A Private Library stores content you reuse, and a Marketplace of other users’ templates and cruise packs copies into your account at no additional cost, so the second proposal for a ship starts from saved content.
Build one real proposal from a supplier import during the trial: only your own trip shows whether the output fits your brand.
CRM, forms and automations
Travefy’s CRM is more than a contact list: client profiles hold trip history and payment details, task lists track work, and automations send trip invites and custom messages (CRM page). An activity log shows when clients open emails or view trips.
If you are new to the category, my guide to what CRM software does covers the basics. The forms are the travel-specific part: credit card authorizations, passport uploads stored in Travefy, and e-signatures with terms and conditions.
Gmail, Outlook and IMAP accounts sync to contacts on Core. Connecting several email accounts is a Premium feature, which matters if you keep a personal and an agency inbox.
Invoicing and commission tracking
Travefy can replace a commission spreadsheet: it creates a branded invoice from an itinerary, attaches a payment schedule, and fills the commission from that invoice into a dashboard of pending, received and overdue payments.
Clients can authorize an amount different from the payment due, and you can mark an item paid when a traveler pays by check or cash.
Matching supplier pay statements is a separate job. Travefy’s agency page describes Smart Reconcile, which matches an uploaded statement to bookings, but Core’s and Premium’s plan lists do not name it, so ask sales which plan includes it.
Client app and website builder
Your clients get Trip Plans, a free app with their itinerary, documents, live flight updates, offline access and chat, left unbranded so it reads as your service (Trip Plans page). Clients must create a free account to open a trip, which is worth explaining in your first email.
Core includes the Website & Landing Page Builder, and you connect your own domain and email. A domain and business email hosted by Travefy come with Premium or the New Travel Agent Program.
Agency controls and the CRM API
Adding advisors is cheap; managing them is a sales conversation. Seats add at a flat price, but these tools are listed only on Agency, a Contact Sales plan:
- Commission and revenue reporting, plus monthly agency insights
- A shared template and content library, and centralized supplier management
- Agent onboarding, team controls and a dedicated account manager
- Access to the CRM API
The agency page adds contact visibility controls, report exports to Google Sheets or Excel, and migration of contacts and booking history. A three-advisor Core team pays $20 per added seat, but the pricing page does not say whether it gets these tools.
Travefy Ease of Use
Travefy documents its onboarding: Core includes a Getting Started Guide, a Daily Live Webinar, 1-on-1 training sessions and on-demand videos, and Premium adds a set-up service with tailored training. Email setup is pitched as “a few clicks” in Travefy’s own words.
Use the trial to confirm the workflow:
- Build one itinerary from a supplier import and open it in Trip Plans on your phone.
- Connect Gmail or Outlook and check that threads land on the client record.
- Send yourself a card authorization form and an invoice, then enter the commission.
Email-sending limits and custom-domain activation during the trial are set through Travefy’s chat, so ask on day one if you plan to email real clients.
Travefy Pricing
Travefy Core costs $39 per month billed annually, and Premium $59 per month billed annually. Each added seat costs $20 a month on Core or $39 on Premium; Agency is Contact Sales, and all prices are in US dollars, checked October 2026.
Core is the plan to price first: $39 x 12 = $468 is the yearly commitment for one advisor, before any first-seat discount, which Travefy says may apply without naming an amount.
| Plan | Price (USD) | Billing | Added seat | Key limit |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Core | $39 per month | Billed annually | $20 per month | No phone support, no hosted domain or email |
| Premium | $59 per month | Billed annually | $39 per month | Agency reporting and the API still need Agency |
| Agency | Contact Sales | Not published | $20 per month shown on the card | Base fee not published (Contact Sales); added-seat price printed |
| New Travel Agent Program | $25 per month | Billed annually | Not published | Agents who joined the industry in the last 12 months |

Core
Core gives one advisor the tools on its own list for $39 x 12 = $468 a year:
- The itinerary and proposal builder, with AI Content Import
- The CRM with forms and automations, plus email integration
- The website builder, and invoicing with commission tracking
- Mobile apps and live chat support
I would start every solo advisor here, because Premium adds help, hosting and extra email accounts, not another selling tool.
Premium
Premium costs $59 – $39 = $20 a month more than Core, or $20 x 12 = $240 a year for one advisor. It adds priority chat, phone support by callback, premium onboarding, a custom domain, email and website hosting, and multiple email accounts.
That pays off if you would otherwise buy domain and email hosting elsewhere or want a person on the phone. The catch for teams: you pick one plan, then every added seat is one price, so a Premium team pays $39 for each advisor after the first.
Agency and team seats
Travefy charges a team by the first seat’s plan, not by team-size band: choose Core or Premium for the first seat, then every added seat costs $20 a month on annual Core or $39 on Premium.
The Agency card shows “$20/month, per additional seat” beside a Contact Sales button and no fee for its tools, so treat Agency as a quote.
New Travel Agent Program
New agents get the cheapest way in: $25 a month billed annually, or $25 x 12 = $300 for the first year, with a custom domain, website and email hosting included.
You must have joined the industry in the last 12 months (verified), and no other discounts apply. Travefy calls it discounted pricing for your first year, so ask Travefy what you will pay from year two before you sign up.
Monthly vs annual billing
The printed Core, Premium and New Travel Agent Program prices are billed annually.
Monthly billing
The pricing page says “Monthly option available.” under Core but prints no monthly price for any plan. Get that figure at checkout or from sales before you choose monthly billing.
What Travefy costs by team size
At list prices on annual billing, before tax and any first-seat discount, a Travefy team pays this much a year:
| Advisors | Core, billed annually | Premium, billed annually |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | $39 x 12 = $468 | $59 x 12 = $708 |
| 3 | $39 x 12 = $468 plus $20 x 2 x 12 = $480, which is $948 | $59 x 12 = $708 plus $39 x 2 x 12 = $936, which is $1,644 |
| 5 | $39 x 12 = $468 plus $20 x 4 x 12 = $960, which is $1,428 | $59 x 12 = $708 plus $39 x 4 x 12 = $1,872, which is $2,580 |
| 10 | $39 x 12 = $468 plus $20 x 9 x 12 = $2,160, which is $2,628 | $59 x 12 = $708 plus $39 x 9 x 12 = $4,212, which is $4,920 |
Sources: Travefy pricing page, checked October 2026.
The flat seat price keeps Core cheap at scale. A 10-advisor agency on Premium pays nearly twice Core’s bill, so I would put a growing team on Core and buy Premium only if every advisor needs phone help or hosted email.
When to upgrade
The limit that forces an upgrade off Core is help, hosting or team reporting, not headcount:
- You want phone support, a guided set-up, a hosted domain with business email, or several email accounts: Premium.
- You need revenue reporting across advisors, a shared template library, supplier management or the CRM API: Agency, through sales.
Integrations, Support and Security
Travefy’s integrations are travel-specific: beyond the supplier imports, email syncs with Gmail, Outlook and IMAP, and the CRM API is listed only on Agency. Zapier and accounting tools such as QuickBooks are not named on its pricing, CRM or itinerary pages, so ask before buying if your bookkeeping lives elsewhere.
Support scales with the plan: Core gets live chat and email, Premium adds priority chat and phone callbacks, and Agency adds a dedicated account manager. Travefy does not publish callback hours.
Travefy states it is PCI-DSS compliant and uses industry-standard encryption (Travefy homepage), and its CRM page calls it the only end-to-end PCI compliant platform for travel agents. Those are Travefy’s claims, and they matter because card authorization forms hold client card details. Travefy publishes no uptime figure on these pages.
Who Should Use Travefy?
Travefy fits advisors whose sale starts with the itinerary and who want the paperwork and commission trail attached to it; it fits poorly when billing flexibility or the lowest entry price decides.
Best for
- A solo or host-agency advisor who sells with branded itineraries, on Core at $39 a month billed annually
- An advisor who collects card authorizations and passports and wants commissions entered from invoices
- An agency of 4 to 10 advisors on annual billing, where Core’s $20 added seat keeps the bill below Tern’s annual seat price
- A new agent in their first 12 months who needs a domain and email, on the program at $25 a month billed annually
Not ideal for
- An advisor who must pay month to month at a known price
- A solo advisor booking a handful of trips: TravelJoy Starter is $19 a month on the Annual view with a 12-trip yearly cap
- A solo advisor or a team of three buying on annual price alone, where Tern comes out lower
- An agency that needs revenue reporting and supplier management without a sales call
Advisors under a host agency should ask whether the host already supplies Travefy, which sells to host agencies directly, before paying for their own seat.
Travefy vs Competitors
On annual billing up to 24 advisors, Tern costs less for a solo advisor or a team of exactly three, and Travefy Core costs less at two advisors and from four to 24. TravelJoy is the low-cost pick for a solo advisor with few trips.
| Software | Best for | Starting price | Key difference | Main trade-off |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Travefy | Itinerary-led advisors and small agencies | Core $39 per month billed annually, plus $20 per added seat | Supplier imports, CRM forms, invoices and commissions on one plan | No printed monthly price; Agency tools via sales |
| Tern | Advisors who want scheduling and reports in the seat price | Tern for Advisors $35 per seat per month, billed annually | Scheduling and booking, reports and analytics, AI tools with included usage | Seat price set by team-size band; the 3-24 advisor view prints seat prices but buys through Talk to Sales |
| TravelJoy | Solo advisors with a light trip load | Starter $19 per month on the Annual view | Lowest entry price of the three | Starter caps trips at 12 a year, with no AI, automations or team members |

Travefy vs Tern by team size
Tern prices seats by team-size band, which is why the cheaper option flips. Tern for Advisors, the 1-2 advisor view, is $35 per seat per month billed annually.
Tern for Agencies, the 3-24 advisor view, prints $25 per seat per month billed annually ($28 quarterly, $33 monthly). Its button reads Talk to Sales where the 1-2 advisor view has Start Free Trial, so purchase runs through sales.
| Advisors | Travefy Core, billed annually | Tern, billed annually | Lower annual cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | $39 x 12 = $468 | $35 x 1 x 12 = $420 | Tern |
| 2 | $39 x 12 = $468 plus $20 x 1 x 12 = $240, which is $708 | $35 x 2 x 12 = $840 | Travefy Core |
| 3 | $39 x 12 = $468 plus $20 x 2 x 12 = $480, which is $948 | $25 x 3 x 12 = $900 | Tern |
| 4 | $39 x 12 = $468 plus $20 x 3 x 12 = $720, which is $1,188 | $25 x 4 x 12 = $1,200 | Travefy Core |
| 5 | $39 x 12 = $468 plus $20 x 4 x 12 = $960, which is $1,428 | $25 x 5 x 12 = $1,500 | Travefy Core |
| 10 | $39 x 12 = $468 plus $20 x 9 x 12 = $2,160, which is $2,628 | $25 x 10 x 12 = $3,000 | Travefy Core |

There is no single crossover point. Tern costs less for one advisor and for three; Core costs less for two, and from four up to 24 advisors each added Core seat at $20 undercuts Tern’s $25, so Core’s lead grows with every advisor in that band.
The lower bill does not buy the same product. Tern lists scheduling and booking, reports and analytics, and AI tools whose included usage limits apply from July 1, 2026; Travefy Core lists invoicing, commission tracking and a website builder.
If Tern is on your shortlist, read my Tern review before you decide.
Paying monthly changes the comparison: Tern prints $49 per seat per month for 1-2 advisors on monthly billing. For 3-24 advisors it prints $33 per seat per month on monthly billing, and Travefy prints no monthly figure to set against them.
TravelJoy undercuts both for a light solo book. Starter, $19 a month on the Annual view, stops at 12 trips a year; Pro, $32 a month on the same view, removes the cap and adds automations and add-on team members.

How I Evaluated Travefy
I built this review from Travefy’s pricing, Premium, New Travel Agent Program, itinerary, CRM, Trip Plans and agency pages, read in October 2026 with prices in US dollars. Tern’s and TravelJoy’s prices come from their own pricing pages, read the same month in each view quoted above.
The team-cost tables and plan-fit calls are my analysis of those prices. Travefy does not publish a monthly price for Core or Premium, Agency’s base fee, or which plan includes Smart Reconcile.
FAQ
Is Travefy legit?
Yes. Travefy, Inc. has run the platform since at least 2012, the start of its copyright line, and its pricing page says more than 50,000 agents and agencies use it. Its Travefy Pro app shows 4.6 out of 5 from 161 ratings on Apple’s App Store listing, checked October 2026.
Can I use Travefy from my phone?
Yes. Mobile Apps are part of Core, and advisors use the Travefy Pro app to view trips, edit tasks and message clients. Apple’s App Store listing says it requires iOS 15.0 or later on iPhone and shows it as a free download with in-app purchases, but the plan price on travefy.com is the figure to budget.
Travefy Review: Final Verdict
Start Travefy’s 10-day trial on Core if your business sells on itineraries and you want card forms, invoices and commissions on the same record. Budget $39 x 12 = $468 a year alone, plus $20 x 12 = $240 for each advisor after the first.
Choose Premium only for phone help, hosted email or several inboxes. Pick Tern if you want scheduling and analytics in the seat price, especially as a solo advisor or a team of three. Pick TravelJoy Starter if you book 12 trips a year or fewer as a solo advisor.
If TravelJoy suits your trip load, open my TravelJoy pricing guide before you commit.
Skip Travefy if you need a printed monthly price. Before you sign, ask sales what Agency costs and whether Smart Reconcile is included.
