Bloowatch is a strong platform for activity providers, from surf schools to dive centers. tendto runs the whole small house: beds, bar, cleaning plan, guests. Here is the fair comparison.

| Entry price | €69 per month, everything included | from €49 per month billed annually, accommodation from Pro (€79) |
| Contract | cancel monthly | 12 months on every plan |
| Commission on bookings | 0% | 0% (their OTA partner takes 2%) |
| Payment gateway required | no, cash first | for online checkout yes, payment links from Pro |
| WhatsApp built in | yes, queue and rules per house | SMS and WhatsApp sending from Pro |
| Guest area without login | yes, one link per booking | client accounts in the booking widget |
| Bar and till | yes, tabs per guest and cash shifts | point of sale from the Start plan |
| Housekeeping board | yes, with an automatic plan | no dedicated module (as of 8/2026) |
| Rooms and dorm beds | unlimited, dorms with a lane per stay | from Pro, 5 rooms; unlimited only on Gold |
| Rental inventory | yes, stock per kind and size | yes, gear inventory from Pro (50 items) |
| Session planning | yes, groups with capacity and coach | yes, strong: 8 calendar views, tide-based scheduling |

As of August 2026, based on the provider’s public pricing and feature pages. All trademarks belong to their owners. If something is no longer accurate, tell us and we will correct it.
Breadth of activities: dive centers, boats, trips, manifests and tide-based scheduling with eight calendar views. If you mainly run a school with many sessions, there is more depth here.
Selling online: a booking widget with checkout in up to 24 languages, promo codes and payment links. tendto deliberately sells via inquiry and WhatsApp, not via a cart.
OTA connections: their channel manager links more than 20 portals from the Gold plan. tendto bets on direct bookings and deliberately has none.
One price instead of a plan ladder: €69 with everything included and unlimited rooms from day one. At Bloowatch, more than 5 rooms means the Gold plan, and every plan binds for 12 months.
The house, not just the sport: dorm beds with their own lane, a housekeeping board with an automatic plan, a guest area per booking, the departure check. Bloowatch has nothing quite like it.
Bar operations: tabs per guest, daily close by payment method, cash shifts with expected and counted, all without a payment gateway. Collecting money the way small houses actually do.
WhatsApp as a tool: a queue with rules per house, broadcasts, the review request exactly once. Plus the team interface in seven languages.
Pick Bloowatch if your core is the school: many sessions a day, online checkout, portals, maybe boats and dives, with accommodation as a side note.
Pick tendto if your core is the house: beds, bar, cleaning rounds and guests who write on WhatsApp, with coaching and rentals as part of the day rather than a separate business.
