Is Jyper worth it?
The honest way to decide — and it has almost nothing to do with whether the price looks big. It comes down to what you are actually buying.
By Naveh Mevorach, founder of Jyper · Updated August 18, 2026
The question isn’t whether Jyper is expensive. It’s whether you’re buying a better broom — or a robot that sweeps the floor for you.
Both cost money. Both can be worth it. But you would price them completely differently — and getting that backwards is how almost every “is it worth it?” argument about Jyper goes wrong.
A better broom makes sweeping nicer. You still sweep — every day, every room. A robot vacuum does the sweeping; you empty the bin now and then. Nobody looks at a Roomba and says “a broom is ten euros, why would I pay more?” — because it isn’t a better broom, it’s the chore taken off your hands. And nobody pays a Roomba price for a broom, because a broom didn’t change how much you sweep.
That is the whole evaluation. Below is how to tell which one Jyper is for your operation — genuinely, on your own numbers, with the case against us left in.
Two very different things get sold as “software.”
The broom — software you operate. CRMs, itinerary builders, quoting platforms. They give your team a nicer place to do the work: cleaner screens than Word and Excel, templates, a tidy supplier list. That is real value — but your people still read every brief, source every rate, build every cost sheet, format every proposal. The workload doesn’t move. That is exactly why this kind of software is priced as a flat per-seat licence: you’re renting a better workspace. Paying a commission or a heavy fee for it would make no sense, because it didn’t take anything off your plate.
The Roomba — an agent that does the work. A different animal. It reads the RFP, sources the rates from your suppliers, costs the trip on your rules, drafts the proposal — and hands it to you to check. It doesn’t make the sweeping nicer; it does the sweeping. What that buys isn’t a workspace, it’s labour back: hours your team doesn’t spend, requests you can answer without hiring, the next quotation hire you don’t have to make. That is why it’s priced against labour — a commission on business you actually confirm — not against a seat.
Jyper is built to be the second thing. Whether it truly is, for you, is the part to test — which is the rest of this page.
So the whole thing comes down to one question.
Which one is it — for your operation, on your requests? Not in theory. When your team runs real briefs through it, does most of the work still land back on them (a broom), or does a finished, costed proposal come back for review with the grind gone (a Roomba)?
If it’s a broom — if your people still do most of the work — then don’t pay Roomba prices for it. A commission or a high fee genuinely doesn’t make sense for something that left your workload where it was. Walk away, and we’d tell you to.
If it’s a Roomba — if it truly takes the quoting work off your hands and lets you answer more without hiring — then comparing it to a software licence is the wrong yardstick entirely. The right comparison is the labour it replaces and the hire you didn’t make. Different category, different currency.
Everything else on this page — the calculator, the pilot, the questions — is just how you find out which one it is, before you commit a cent.
Start with what requests cost you today.
One side of the comparison is easy to see right now: what answering requests already costs you. Drag these four to your reality — requests a month, your confirmation rate, what an employee costs, how many requests one person handles — and you’ll see the hours and money tied up in quoting, and how much of it goes into requests that never become business. That’s the labour side of the broom-or-Roomba question, in your own numbers.
Everything updates live as you drag. Hours assume a 160-hour working month; nothing here is stored or sent anywhere.
Time your team spends answering requests
320 hours / mo
the workload of 2.0 full-time people, every month
What that work costs you
$7,000 / mo
about $88 of labour per request answered
Spent on requests that never become business
$4,900 / mo
$58,800 a year quoting deals that do not confirm — 70% of your request labour at a 30% confirmation rate

“But isn’t a commission a red flag?”
Fair question, worth asking out loud. The worry goes: DMC margins are thin, most turnover is pass-through to hotels and transport, so a percentage of business volume eats a scary share of real profit. If Jyper were a broom, that worry would be exactly right — you’d be paying a cut of your turnover for nicer screens. Don’t ever do that.
For a Roomba, the same number reads differently, for three down-to-earth reasons. It only applies to business you actually confirm through Jyper — not your whole turnover, and nothing at all when a quote doesn’t close. It’s replacing labour, not software — so the honest yardstick is the salary and the hire, not a licence. And faster, more complete answers win business you’d otherwise lose: the RFP you couldn’t get to in high season isn’t “existing turnover” the commission is taxing — it’s business the tool helped you land.
None of that makes any particular percentage automatically fair. The percentage, the cap, and exactly what counts as “confirmed through Jyper” are real things to pin down — in writing, on the call. That’s what the questions at the bottom of this page are for.
Run a real pilot, with metrics agreed in advance.
Testing twenty past RFPs without predefined success metrics produces a vague impression. Testing them against this list produces a decision:
- Time per quotation — from request received to proposal sent, before vs with Jyper
- Extraction accuracy — % of dates, counts, tiers and preferences pulled correctly from the brief
- Manual correction — how much of each draft your team actually had to change
- Pricing accuracy — costed lines checked against the contracts they came from
- Response time — how much faster the first substantive answer went out
- Added capacity — requests answered that would previously have been skipped
- Staff adoption — does the team keep delegating after week two, unprompted?
- Conversion — did faster, more complete answers move the confirmation rate?
- Booking-stage work eliminated — supplier confirmations, vouchers, deadlines handled
Piloting Jyper is deliberately cheap to do: onboarding is done for you (we ingest your past deals as-is), the service switches on and off monthly, there is a 30-day money-back guarantee, and commission is invoiced only on business you confirm. If we do not produce measurable value beyond our cost, you should not keep us — we have designed the terms so that sentence has teeth.
When Jyper is not worth it.
If your team comfortably answers everything that arrives and quiet weeks outnumber crunch weeks, you do not have the problem we solve — a trip-design tool like Ezus or TripCreator will make good work nicer for less. If hand-crafting each program is the craft your company is built around and volume permits it, keep the craft. And if you are at the very start of AI adoption, start with a general assistant and our free DMC AI Playbook — learn what these tools are before changing how you operate.
We also take one DMC per destination, so occasionally the honest answer is that the seat is taken.
Questions to ask us on the call.
Any AI vendor should welcome these. Bring them, and hold the answers to writing:
What exactly counts as "business confirmed through Jyper"?
Get the definition in writing before you sign. The commission applies only to business you actually confirm through Jyper — not to your overall turnover — and you should be able to see, per file, why something did or did not count.
How is our data isolated?
Your contracted supplier rates and client data are yours: tenant separation, no sharing between clients, no training other DMCs’ systems on your contracts, full export rights at any time. Ask us to walk through it — this is standard due diligence for any AI vendor, us included.
What happens if we leave?
You export everything — supplier database, client records, quotation history — and the service switches off month to month. If a vendor makes leaving hard, that tells you something. We put the walk-away right on the pricing page.
What does the commission work out to at our volumes?
We set it together on a call so it fits your margins and mix, and you should stress-test it against your own numbers: high season, low season, your largest file. Bring your real turnover; we will do the math with you in the open.
