Why LetzCharter
A different kind of marketplace.
Your brand front and center. Your pricing, not ours. The lowest commission in the industry — and zero commission during your 12-month pilot subscription.
Side by side
LetzCharter vs. typical marketplaces
The choices platforms make about commission, branding, and ownership add up to very different experiences for operators. Here’s how we compare.
| LetzCharter | Typical marketplaces | |
|---|---|---|
| Who customers see | Your company name, logo, fleet photos, and reviews — front and center. | Anonymous quotes. "Bus Option A" at a price customers can't attribute to anyone. |
| Who sets pricing | You do. Per-mile, per-hour, flat rates, surcharges — your rules generate every quote. | Platform algorithm bids for you. Race-to-the-bottom pricing, no pricing control. |
| Commission rate | 3–7% permanently locked (pilot). Standard starts at 15% and scales down with volume. | 15–25% per booking. Rates rise over time. |
| Commission during your 12-month pilot subscription | 0% on every booking. | Full commission from day one. |
| Back-office tools | Fleet, dispatch, invoicing, quoting, and reporting — included for every operator. | Not offered. You bring your own software. |
| How customers choose you | Customers browse profiles side by side and pick you based on reviews, fleet, and price. | Algorithm auto-assigns. You don't know why you won (or lost) the booking. |
| Exclusivity | None. Use any other platform you want. No lock-in. | Varies. Some require exclusivity clauses. |
| Your customer data | Yours. Export anytime. Contractually protected even if ownership changes. | Platform owns the customer relationship. |

What makes us different
Four things you won't find stacked together on any other platform.
You set your own prices
Configure per-mile, per-hour, or flat rates. Add surcharges, minimums, peak pricing. The platform generates quotes from your rules — never the other way around.
The lowest commission in the industry
Pilot partners lock in 3–7% permanently. Standard rates start at 15% and drop with volume. Typical marketplaces take 15–25% from the first dollar and only raise it from there.
Back-office tools, not just leads
Fleet management, dispatch, invoicing, quoting, and reporting are native platform features — not an upsell. Replace three subscriptions with one.
Honest answers
How can you charge so much less commission than other marketplaces?
Two reasons. First, the pilot subscription funds development — your monthly fee is how we build without taking more per booking. Second, we're operator-first by design: every dollar we don't take in commission is a dollar you can use to grow, and growth on our side means more operators, which means more customers, which means more bookings. The math works because we built it to.What's the catch with 0% commission during the pilot?
No catch. You pay a monthly subscription ($250, $500, or $1,000) for 12 months, and during that time, commission is 0% on every booking. When the subscription ends, your permanently locked commission rate (3–7%) applies. No hidden fees, no lead fees, no featured-placement fees.Do I have to use LetzCharter exclusively?
No. Run as many channels as you like — other marketplaces, your own website, direct bookings, referrals. Most Founding Partners will use multiple platforms. We're betting on earning your business, not locking it up.What if the marketplace doesn't send me bookings?
You can exit after month 3 with 30 days notice — no long-term lock-in. You keep the back-office tools at your locked pricing. And we're investing in customer acquisition via SEO, content, group-sharing virality, and paid ads post-launch. The marketplace is a bonus on top of the operations platform, not the only thing you're paying for.
Keep more of what you earn.
Join the pilot and lock in 3–7% commission permanently. During your 12-month subscription, commission is 0%.
