Where each competitor wins — and where it does not

vs PHPTRAVELS

PHPTRAVELS is a downloadable PHP script with a one-time licence — a budget-friendly entry point if you have developers and patience. Suppliers and gateways must be configured manually. Reservationhub Source Code Edition is the same delivery model but ships 110+ pre-built supplier integrations, a 9-module unified cart, managed updates and a support SLA.

Pick PHPTRAVELS if you want the cheapest script and have in-house developers. Pick Reservationhub if you want supplier integrations done for you.

vs AirGateway

AirGateway has industry-leading NDC depth — they are airline-distribution specialists. Reservationhub is a broader platform: NDC, GDS, LCC, plus the rest of the travel stack (hotels, cars, transfers, activities, visa, Umrah) behind one normalised API. Some agencies run both.

Pick AirGateway for flight-only NDC depth. Pick Reservationhub for a complete multi-product platform.

vs Travelomatix

Travelomatix is a strong CRS with a large India presence. Reservationhub overlaps significantly but is UAE-headquartered, with a deeper MENA supplier mix and roughly 50 more pre-built integrations. White-label tooling is bundled rather than priced as an upgrade.

Pick Travelomatix if your primary market is India and your team is comfortable with their support timezone. Pick Reservationhub for MENA/APAC reach and bundled white-label.

vs Travelopro and Trawex

Travelopro and Trawex are project-build vendors — they assemble travel portals on commission. The end result can be excellent, but timelines are project-paced and pricing is opaque until quoted. Reservationhub is a productised platform with public pricing, monthly SaaS, perpetual source-code or pay-as-you-go API.

Pick a project vendor if you need a fully bespoke build and have a CIO running the project. Pick Reservationhub if you want predictable pricing and a faster time-to-revenue.

Comparison FAQs

Is Reservationhub a PHPTRAVELS alternative?
Yes. PHPTRAVELS is a downloadable PHP travel script with manual supplier setup. Reservationhub offers the same downloadable model (Source Code Edition) but ships 110+ pre-built supplier integrations, a 9-module unified cart and managed updates. Most former PHPTRAVELS users upgrade to Reservationhub for the supplier network and support coverage.
How does Reservationhub compare to AirGateway?
AirGateway specialises in deep NDC distribution for airlines. Reservationhub provides NDC plus GDS, LCC, hotels, cars, transfers, activities, visa and Umrah behind a single normalized API. If you need flight-only NDC, AirGateway is excellent; if you need a complete travel platform, Reservationhub covers more ground.
What about Travelomatix?
Travelomatix offers a travel CRS in SaaS or source-code form, primarily serving the Indian market. Reservationhub serves an overlapping segment but is headquartered in the UAE with a broader MENA/APAC supplier mix, more pre-built integrations (110+ vs ~60) and bundled white-label tooling.
How is Reservationhub different from Travelopro and Trawex?
Travelopro and Trawex are project-build vendors — they custom-build travel portals on commission. Reservationhub is a productised platform: you can pick SaaS (subscribe and go), Source Code Edition (perpetual licence, self-host) or Travel API Service (build your own front-end). No project quote required, and pricing is published.
