Tock's standard winery agreement runs three years, its dashboard is shaped for a restaurant floor, and its pricing layers per-cover fees on top of the monthly tier. ArtistryHost is month-to-month, built for a host stand, and flat. Here's the sourced comparison.
Modeled on $30,000/month in bookings including a mid tier plus per-cover fees. The contract is the bigger cost: reviews report three-year commitments and steadily increasing pricing.
The standard winery contract on Tock is reported to run three years. The pitch promises new guests; operator reviews say the traffic doesn't always show — and you're locked in either way.
ArtistryHost is monthly and cancels any time. No contract. Annual prepay is optional, never required.
Tock's roots are in restaurant reservations. A room running back-to-back group experiences — a candle bar, a tasting room, a paint-and-sip studio — isn't a dinner service, and the dashboard shows it.
A daily run sheet built for the host stand: who's arriving, who's paid, party size and notes, all in one view.
Tock layers per-cover fees on top of a monthly tier that runs from $79 up to $769, and reviews report pricing that steadily increases over the life of the contract.
ArtistryHost is a flat $75/month ($50 annually). No per-cover fee, no tier creep, no surprise at renewal — because there's no renewal to be surprised by.
