BookNox vs Tripleseat
BookNox vs Tripleseat. Built for the vendor, not the hotel.
Tripleseat runs event sales for restaurants, hotels, and larger venues: banquet event orders, floor plans, food and beverage, and a sales pipeline, sold by quote after a demo. BookNox is the booking link for the independent vendor. One page quotes the job, signs the contract, and takes the deposit, at a published $29 a month flat.

Why vendors switch
A price you can read, and a link you can send today.
No sales call to learn the price
BookNox is $29 flat and published. With Tripleseat you book a demo and get a quote, which is normal at their end of the market but slow if you just want to start taking bookings.
Sized for an independent vendor
One client, one date, one contract, one deposit. No sales pipeline or banquet operation wrapped around it.
Travel priced onto the quote
For anyone working on location, a client types the venue address and BookNox measures the drive from your base and applies your rate per mile automatically.
Honest comparison
When Tripleseat is the better choice.
If you are the kind of operation Tripleseat sells to, BookNox is not a serious alternative and we would not pretend it is.
- You run a restaurant, hotel, or multi room venue. Tripleseat is built for exactly that, with a long track record in hospitality. BookNox is built for a single vendor booking a single date.
- You need banquet event orders and floor plans. The documents and layouts that actually run a catered event. BookNox produces a contract and an invoice, and nothing else.
- You have a sales team working a pipeline. Lead routing, shared inboxes, and multi person pipelines are central to how Tripleseat is used. BookNox has no multi user model.
- You want food and beverage and menu management. Menus, packages, and beverage handling tied to the event. BookNox prices a package; it does not run a kitchen.
These two barely overlap. Tripleseat sells to venues with event teams; BookNox sells to the independent vendor who wants a quote, a contract, and a deposit without a platform around it. If you are somewhere in between, the honest test is whether you need banquet event orders. If you do, it is not us.
FAQ
Common questions.
- How much does Tripleseat cost?
- Tripleseat does not publish pricing. There is no pricing page on their site; the routes to cost are a demo request and a quote request, which is normal for software sold to restaurants, hotels, and larger venues. BookNox publishes its price: $29 a month flat, no tiers.
- Is BookNox a replacement for Tripleseat?
- No, if you are a restaurant, hotel, or multi room venue. Tripleseat runs event sales operations at that scale: banquet event orders, floor plans, food and beverage, and a sales team pipeline. BookNox books a single job and takes a deposit. Different buyers.
- Who should choose BookNox instead?
- The independent vendor or small space: a caterer, a mobile bar, a private dining room, a photographer, a DJ. If your booking is one client, one date, one contract, and one deposit, BookNox does that in one link without a sales platform around it.
- Does either take a cut of my bookings?
- BookNox charges a 0% platform fee, and deposits are Stripe Connect direct charges that land in your own bank. Tripleseat's commercial terms are not published, so we do not make a claim about them either way.
