A Beyonk
Alternative
Without the 4%.
Beyonk is solid ticketing for attractions, and its price is a booking fee of about 4% on everything you sell, either taken out of your ticket price or added to the family's bill. BookingNinja is £42 a month plus 1%. Pass a booking fee on to guests or charge none; keep the 4% families already pay and, after our 1%, about 3% of every sale stays with you. Paste your Beyonk shop link below and see your own venue rebuilt on it.

Same Sessions and Parties,
Different Bill.
Beyonk's headline rate is 4%, marked on its pricing page as based on volume and either passed on to the customer or absorbed. Whichever way you take it, someone pays about 4% on every ticket, party and pass. Here is what changes when the price is a flat fee instead.
The Fee Grows With You
Beyonk has no monthly fee, and the trade is about 4% on every transaction. Sell £10,000 of sessions and parties in a month and around £400 of it goes on the booking fee before Stripe. On Starter the same month is £42 plus 1%, and the table below does the rest of the sums.
Pass the Fee On, and Keep It
Beyonk lets you pass its fee on to the family, and the fee goes to Beyonk. BookingNinja does the same the other way round: add an Online Booking Fee to any payment rule, as a percentage or a fixed amount, and it is paid into your own account. Keep charging the 4% families pay today and about 3% of every sale stays with you after our 1%. Or charge nothing, and the price on the session is the price they pay.
The Cafe Is in the Same Diary
Sessions, party rooms and the tables in the cafe are booked in one place, on a floor plan of your building. Beyonk is ticketing for attractions, and we found no sign of a table book in it.
No £25,000 Turnover Gate
Beyonk's pricing page asks for over £25k a year in sales before it takes you on. We start venues from their first booking, on Free Forever if that is where you are.
Waivers, Passes and Gift Cards Included
Beyonk has all three, and so do we. Ours are switched on at every price. Waivers send their own signing link from the booking, and memberships put a card in the guest's phone wallet.
A Person, Not an Agency
Beyonk's support is well reviewed, and its marketing arm starts at £1,250 a month. We are a small UK team. I build the product, I answer the emails, and the setup call is free.
BookingNinja vs Beyonk
Beyonk is attractions ticketing priced as a percentage. BookingNinja is a flat-fee booking system that also runs the tables. This is how the two line up for a soft play, farm park or activity venue.

Beyonk's figures are from its public pricing page on 21 September 2026, where the standard ticketing rate starts at 4% and can be passed on or absorbed, so your quote may differ. Everything else is from public sources and correct as far as we know. BookingNinja prices on this page are read from our live pricing.
Keep the Fee the Same.
Keep More of the Money.
Beyonk starts at 4% with no subscription. BookingNinja Gold is £62 a month when billed annually, plus 1%. Stripe processing applies to both, so the calculator leaves it on both sides.

Adult, Child, Toddler,
Each With a Price.
Beyonk's ticket types with conditional rules map straight onto BookingNinja guest types. Under-ones free, walkers one price, adults another, and a rule that a child needs an adult with them. Each type counts against the session's capacity and carries its own deposit or full price.
Signed at Home,
Scanned at the Door.
Attach a waiver to the sessions that need one and every booking sends its own signing link, with a reminder if it is still unsigned the day before. On the day, the check-in screen scans the QR code on the family's confirmation with a phone camera or a handheld scanner and the party is marked arrived.
The Play Frame and
the Cafe, One Screen.
A 10am session with 60 spaces, two party rooms and a cafe that seats 40. The session controls the capacity for the frame, and the same booking sits on a real table in the cafe. A wet Saturday is a live floor plan rather than a headcount and a paper list for the tables.
When Beyonk Is the Right Call
Beyonk is a well-reviewed product, with a 4.9 out of 5 on Capterra and a support team people like. There are venues it suits better than we do.
- You sell admission on the day and rarely seat anyone. A farm park or a museum that sells timed tickets, scans them at the gate and has no table service gets the whole of Beyonk and would use the table side of BookingNinja very little.
- You want ticketing and a marketing agency from one supplier. Beyonk sells email, paid ads, social and website work alongside the platform. We do not, so you would bring your own.
- Resource scheduling matters. Beyonk can schedule equipment and guides against experiences. We manage capacity, tables and staff rotas, not kit.
A tour operator or a farm park with turnstiles: Beyonk. A soft play, activity centre or family venue where the cafe and the parties are half the business: that is the venue we built this for.
