FareHarbor adds high booking fees (often 6%+) to every ticket. Baluu offers fair, transparent pricing that keeps your tickets affordable and your conversion rates high.
✓ Transparent pricing • ✓ Fast setup • ✓ GDPR-native
FareHarbor's business model often relies on charging your customers a massive booking fee on top of your ticket price. This inflates your prices and can kill sales. Baluu charges a simple, low transaction fee. You control the final price — your customers pay what you ask, not a penny more.
FareHarbor is built for big tour buses. Baluu is built for modern experiences.

When you use FareHarbor, you are sending your data and your money to a Silicon Valley giant subject to the US CLOUD Act. This allows US authorities to access data stored on American servers, even if it belongs to a European citizen.
Baluu is different. We are a proudly independent European business with real people working across the UK, Portugal, Spain, and Lithuania.
We do not just follow GDPR because we have to; we follow it because we live here. We understand your market, your values, and your timezone because we share them.
Modern booking flows with transparent pricing and EU data hosting.
