Looking for an Ezus alternative? Ezus is a solid proposal and quote builder for travel agencies, tour operators, and DMCs — but it prices per user starting at €75/month, and several user reviews flag a CRM that isn’t built to run a full sales pipeline. If your agency needs a single tool for leads, proposals, and booking analytics, it’s worth comparing before you commit budget to either platform.
This comparison covers what Ezus does well, where the gaps are, how the two platforms stack up feature by feature, and what a switch actually looks like.
Who Ezus is built for
Ezus targets travel agencies, tour operators, and DMCs that need to turn a trip concept into a branded, itemized quote fast. Its strengths are proposal generation, automated budget building with per-item margin control, and multilingual, multi-currency document output. Boutique DMCs managing detailed, multi-supplier programs are its core audience — teams for whom a fast, accurate quote is the main bottleneck.
That focus shows in the product: templated proposals, an itinerary builder tuned for supplier-heavy trips, and a client portal for sharing the finished document. It’s a genuinely capable tool for the quote-building half of the job.
Where the gaps are
The recurring theme in independent user reviews is what happens after the quote is sent. Several reviewers note that Ezus’s CRM layer isn’t built to carry a full lead-to-booking pipeline — agencies end up pairing it with a separate CRM to track inquiries, follow-ups, and conversion. That’s the same two-tool problem agencies run into with generic CRMs: the proposal tool and the pipeline tool don’t share one record, so reporting on “which leads actually convert” means cross-referencing two systems by hand.
Pricing is the other consideration. Ezus’s Professional plan starts at €75 per user per month, with Premium at €100 and Enterprise requiring a custom quote — no free tier to test the workflow before buying in. For a solo designer or a two-person team still validating whether a dedicated tool is worth the switch from spreadsheets, that entry point is a real barrier before the first proposal is even built.
What to evaluate before switching tools
Before comparing feature lists line by line, it helps to be clear on which gap you’re actually trying to close:
Is the bottleneck the quote, or the pipeline? If proposals take too long to build and that’s the only pain point, a dedicated quote builder like Ezus solves it directly. If leads are also going cold between “inquiry received” and “proposal sent” — no one following up, no visibility into which prospects are close to booking — a proposal tool alone won’t fix that; you need the CRM and the proposal builder reading from the same record.
Do you need per-line budget granularity, or speed? Ezus’s strength is itemized margin control on complex, multi-supplier trips. If your itineraries are genuinely that complex, that depth pays for itself. If most trips follow a handful of repeatable structures, a lighter itinerary builder with templates gets you to “sent” faster without the per-line overhead.
What does the free trial actually let you test? A demo call shows you the interface; it doesn’t show you whether your own leads convert faster once they’re in the tool. A no-credit-card trial on your real pipeline, even for a week, tells you more than a sales demo ever will.

Pricing: the gap is the main decision driver
For a two-to-five-person agency, the pricing difference is not marginal. Five users on Ezus Professional runs roughly €375/month before any add-ons; the same team on TravelBuilderPro’s Starter plan runs from €110/month (yearly), or starts free while the workflow is being tested. See the full breakdown on the pricing page. For agencies with heavier, multi-supplier programs and a bigger budget already allocated to quote-building software, that gap matters less than raw feature depth — which is exactly the case where Ezus can still be the right call.
When Ezus is still the better fit
- Your agency runs complex, multi-supplier DMC programs where itemized budget-building with per-line margin control is the daily bottleneck, and you’re prepared to run a second CRM alongside it.
- You have the budget for €75–100/user/month and prioritize proposal depth over an all-in-one workflow.
- Your team already runs on Ezus and the migration cost outweighs the productivity gap right now.
TravelBuilderPro tends to be the better fit when the agency wants one tool for the full inquiry-to-booking cycle — proposal, CRM pipeline, and analytics in the same record — without the per-seat cost climbing past what a small team can justify.
Switching from Ezus to TravelBuilderPro
Most agencies moving off Ezus start with a CSV export of client contacts and a handful of proposal templates for their most common trip types. Contact import is supported from day one; itinerary templates are rebuilt with the team’s help during the 7-day trial, so the first live proposal doesn’t start from a blank page. Suppliers and rates carry over manually or via the API — there’s no automated Ezus-to-TravelBuilderPro migration tool today, so budget a few hours for the supplier list specifically.
A realistic timeline looks like this: contacts imported and the first two or three proposal templates rebuilt on day one, suppliers and rates added over the following few days as they come up in active deals, and the team fully off Ezus within the first billing cycle. Nothing about the switch requires downtime — both tools can run in parallel for the trips already mid-proposal on the old platform while new inquiries go straight into the new pipeline.
Frequently asked questions
Is Ezus a good CRM for travel agencies?
Ezus is built primarily as a proposal and quote tool. Several independent reviews note it lacks the depth to run a full sales pipeline on its own, so agencies that need lead tracking and follow-up automation alongside proposal building often end up running a second CRM in parallel.
Is TravelBuilderPro cheaper than Ezus?
Yes, in most cases. Ezus’s Professional plan starts at €75 per user per month with no free tier. TravelBuilderPro offers a free-forever plan plus a Starter tier from €22/user/month (yearly), with every feature available during a 7-day trial.
Can I import my Ezus data into TravelBuilderPro?
Client contacts import from CSV on day one. Proposal templates are rebuilt with support from the team during the trial period. Supplier records transfer manually or via the API — there is no one-click migration tool between the two platforms.
Does TravelBuilderPro work for DMCs the way Ezus does?
For independent designers and small-to-mid DMCs, yes — supplier management, multi-currency budgets, and multi-language proposals are all built in, alongside a CRM and analytics that Ezus doesn’t natively provide. For very large, multi-supplier DMC programs where budget-line granularity is the primary need, Ezus’s deeper quote-building tools remain a strong option.
Is Ezus only for DMCs, or does it work for retail travel agencies too?
Ezus serves agencies, tour operators, and DMCs alike, but its feature depth is most valuable to teams building complex, supplier-heavy itineraries. Smaller retail agencies focused on standard trip types often find a lighter, all-in-one tool covers their workflow with less overhead.
