Tripkit vs. hiring

Better than any employee.

A subscription isn't another salary on your books. It's a team that already knows your tools, flexes with your seasons, and never calls in sick.

Day one

Already trained on AXUS, Travefy, Safari Portal and TravelJoy. Your first itinerary ships this week.

Weeks of onboarding before they can build an itinerary unsupervised.

Crunch time

Wave season hits? Move up a fare and get more hours next month — no negotiation, no job ad.

Overtime requests, scheduling conflicts, and a burnout risk you have to manage.

Slow season

Scale back down and pay only for the hours you actually need.

Full payroll whether there's work on the desk or not.

True cost

One flat monthly fare. Everything included.

Salary, plus 25–40% on top in taxes, benefits, software and desk space.

Reliability

Never off sick, never on leave — your coverage doesn't take vacation.

Sick days, holidays, notice periods and turnover risk.

Commitment

Monthly. Upgrade, downgrade or cancel anytime.

Contracts, severance, and a hard conversation if it doesn't work out.

Dollar figures are opportunity cost — your hours at the rate you set, not a bill. Questions? dennis@mytripkit.com
