FAQ
Retreat Guru FAQ.
- Should I keep Retreat Guru if my retreats come from the marketplace?
- Maybe. Retreat Guru's marketplace at retreat.guru drives discovery for centers that depend on inbound search traffic from yoga and meditation seekers. If 30%+ of your bookings come from that channel, keep it. Switch to Everybooking when your bottleneck shifts from discovery to inquiry conversion, the bookings that need a multi-line group quote in seconds before the leader books somewhere else.
- Pricing comparison?
- Retreat Guru's software tier starts at $67/mo for centers with under 300 registrations/year, plus a 14% commission on marketplace bookings. At a $12K average retreat AOV, that's roughly $1,680 per marketplace booking in commission. Everybooking is $147/mo DIY or $297/mo Done-For-You with the build fee waived for Founding Customers, no commission on any booking source.
- What's missing in Retreat Guru?
- Retreat Guru ships a strong retreat-center suite, room-mapping, program management, deposits, marketplace listing. It does not ship an AI quote agent that drafts a multi-line group quote in seconds, a 24/7 AI phone agent, or attendee cascade with split deposits that scales past 20 attendees. Those are the moves that win the first-reply race.
- Can I migrate from Retreat Guru?
- Yes. We migrate programs, rooms, registrations, and deposit history in 5–7 business days on the Done-For-You plan. If you want to keep the marketplace listing as a discovery channel, you can, the two systems aren't mutually exclusive on the discovery side, just on the booking side.
