The short answer: Charter Pro and RIVERRISE BOOKINGS both take bookings with no commission. Charter Pro builds you a new website for $160–$299 a month, with online deposits starting at $240. RIVERRISE BOOKINGS adds booking, deposits and waivers to the website you already have for $99 a month.
Two different products
Charter Pro is a website-and-app subscription: it builds a new charter site, adds booking, and includes tools for review requests and trip content (Charter Pro pricing). RIVERRISE BOOKINGS is a booking system that installs on most websites, so you keep the site, domain and pages you already rank with.
What three seasons cost
With online deposits, Charter Pro starts on its Prime plan at $240 a month, or $8,640 over three years on monthly billing ($6,912 with yearly billing). RIVERRISE BOOKINGS is $99 a month, or $3,564 over three years, with deposits included.
When Charter Pro makes sense
If you have no website, or your current one is beyond saving, getting the site and booking in one subscription is convenient. Charter Pro also includes automatic review requests and trip-report publishing in every plan.
When RIVERRISE BOOKINGS makes sense
- You like your website or already rank on Google and don’t want to rebuild.
- You want deposits, waivers and automatic balance charges without paying for a higher tier.
- You want your payouts in your own Stripe account and your guest list in your hands.
- You want a team that can also run your ads, SEO and social when you are ready.

Do I need a new website?

Which one is better for me?
If you want a brand-new site and booking in one monthly bill, Charter Pro is built for that. If you like your website, or want to keep control of it, RIVERRISE BOOKINGS adds booking for less per month.
