Peek Pro charges 6–8% of every booking and sits between you and your payouts. Operators have reported funds held for weeks and account-level freezes triggered by a single refund. ArtistryHost runs on your own Square for a flat monthly fee. Here's the sourced comparison.
Modeled on $30,000/month in bookings at the 7% midpoint. The percentage rises with every good month — you pay Peek Pro the most exactly when business is best.
One operator reported a payout frozen after a single customer refund triggered an account-level hold — 50+ phone calls to unwind. When the platform sits between you and your processor, the platform decides when you get paid.
ArtistryHost runs on your own Square. Funds land on Square's normal schedule. We never touch your money, which means we structurally can't freeze it.
At 6–8% per booking, a percentage platform earns more from your busiest Saturday nights than from the software itself. Grow your bookings and your bill grows in lockstep.
ArtistryHost is a flat $75/month. Your volume is yours. When you grow, you keep it.
The per-booking cut on percentage platforms shows up in what your guests pay — pressure on conversion at the exact moment they're deciding to book.
Guests see the price you set. No marketplace markup, no surprise fee at checkout.
