One-Time API Activation

Simple pricing.
No hidden fees.

Q: Are there ongoing monthly fees after activation?

After the one-time activation, Tripgic operates on a revenue-share or per-transaction model depending on your plan and booking volume. There is no flat monthly subscription fee. Contact sales for the exact commercial structure suited to your business.

Q: How does Tripgic mark up fares?

Tripgic returns net fares from suppliers and adds a single fixed markup per transaction — a flat amount between USD 2 and USD 10, never a percentage. The exact figure depends on the product and your plan tier (for example, flights are USD 10 per passenger on Starter and USD 5 on Enterprise). The same fixed-markup rule is applied consistently across every search result, price check, and booking.

Q: What services are restricted on the Starter plan?

The Starter plan includes Flight API access only (GDS + LCC + NDC). Hotel, Car Rental, Activities, and Dynamic Packages APIs are not included. You can add them by upgrading to Growth or Enterprise.

Q: What does the Essential plan include?

The Essential plan is a USD 500 entry tier for platforms that sell travel ancillaries without flight or hotel booking. It includes the Car Rental API, Activities & Tours API, airport services (lounge, fast-track, meet & greet), and eSIM connectivity, along with sandbox and live environments and a 2500:1 look-to-book ratio. Flight and Hotel APIs are not included — upgrade to Starter, Growth, or Enterprise to add them.

Q: How long does activation take?

Most clients complete the activation process within 3–5 business days. Enterprise activations with custom GDS configurations may take up to 10 business days.

Pay once to activate your API access. No monthly subscriptions. Scale from a flight-only startup to a full-stack OTA at your own pace.

Fare markup

Tripgic returns supplier net fares and applies a single fixed markup per transaction — always a flat amount between USD 2 and USD 10, never a percentage commission. The exact figure depends on the product and your plan tier; higher tiers carry a lower markup across more product types.

Fare markup	Essential $500	Starter $1,499	Growth $2,500	Enterprise $5,000
Flight / per pax	Not offered at this tier	$10	$7	$5
Hotel / per night	Not offered at this tier	Not offered at this tier	$5	$2
Others / per booking	$10	Not offered at this tier	Not offered at this tier	$3

Every markup is a flat amount in USD, applied per transaction on top of the supplier net fare and separate from your one-time activation. All values sit within the USD 2–10 band. A dash (—) means that product isn't offered at the tier — for example, Starter is flight-only, and Essential covers ancillary products only (no flights or hotels). Talk to sales for volume rates.

Customer Reviews

Trusted by travel teams worldwide

4.8 / 5 · based on 6 verified reviews

"Tripgic let us validate our flight booking MVP in under two weeks. The sandbox is identical to production — what we built day one is what we shipped to customers."

"We compared Tripgic with going direct to a GDS. The activation cost paid for itself in the first month. No 6-month certification cycle, no separate contracts."

"The Growth plan was the right step up when we added hotels. One JSON schema across flights and hotels meant our engineering team didn't need to learn a new SDK."

"Solid uptime and clean error responses. Documentation could be a touch deeper around NDC fare bundling, but support fills the gap quickly."

"Dedicated account management and SLA gave our procurement team confidence. We migrated three regional brands onto Tripgic in a single quarter."

"White-label endpoints and unlimited calls were essential at our volume. Tripgic delivered on every commercial term we negotiated."
