An honest comparison
Both are capable tools. Here is where each one tends to fit best.
PayCamp is the better fit for
Sites that run pitches alongside moorings, boat hire or a workshop, that confirm bookings themselves, and that bill electricity from meter readings on the same invoice.
Anytime Booking is the better fit for
Campsites, glamping sites, holiday lets, letting agencies and motorhome hire firms that want guests to book online by themselves and connections to Airbnb, Pitchup and Campsites.co.uk. For a small site, its LITE plan is cheaper than PayCamp.
The key difference
Anytime Booking is built around guests booking online and connections to booking sites, and it covers holiday lets and motorhome hire, which PayCamp does not. PayCamp does not offer guest self-booking yet; it covers marina berths, boat hire and yard work, and bills electricity from your own meter readings.
Typical PayCamp operator
A marina or riverside site with some touring pitches, moorings and day boats, where most bookings arrive by phone or email.

Questions people ask
Is PayCamp an alternative to Anytime Booking?
For some sites. PayCamp suits sites that run pitches alongside moorings, boat hire or a workshop and confirm bookings themselves. If guests booking online by themselves and connections to Airbnb or Pitchup matter most, Anytime Booking is the better fit today.
Can guests book online with PayCamp?
Not yet. Guests send a booking enquiry from your website and you confirm it in PayCamp. Online self-booking is on our roadmap.
Does PayCamp have a channel manager?
No. PayCamp does not connect to third-party booking sites. Anytime Booking lists connections to Airbnb, Pitchup and Campsites.co.uk.
Which is cheaper for a small campsite?
On published prices, Anytime Booking LITE is £10 a month plus 1% of bookings for up to 100 units. PayCamp starts at £49 a month for up to 25 units with no commission. For a small site that mainly wants online bookings, Anytime Booking LITE will usually cost less.
Does PayCamp handle holiday lets?
No. PayCamp is not built for holiday lets or letting agencies. If you only run cottages or lets, look at Anytime Booking or Bookalet instead.
