Full review
The legal notice names VAKARIO, a simplified joint stock company (SAS) with a share capital of €18,210, RCS Chambéry 493 337 315, NAF code 6201Z and VAT number FR22 493337315. The registered office is at 245 rue du Marais in the 73190 postcode area; our capture cut the town name.

Plan ladder
Rates start without subscription: Discovery is free with a 5% booking fee. With subscription, Solo costs $19 a month, Micro $39 a month for companies under €150k turnover and Company $59 a month above that, each with a 2.5% booking fee. The page shows dollar amounts even though the vendor sits in France.
Feature set
Features named in the navigation are booking, a planning view for guides and resources, gift cards, invoicing, a Google link, a mobile app, a channel manager and integrations with Stripe and Pennylane. A documented API, webhooks and an MCP server are also linked.
Versus FareHarbor
FareHarbor lists inventory management, staff management and a mobile app. YoPlanning covers planning and staff views too, but its public positioning is small outdoor businesses. The 2.5% booking fee on top of the subscription is a commission-style cost; FareHarbor's own fee terms were not part of the pages we read, so no comparison is possible.
Where it falls short
Booking fees of 2.5% to 5% apply on every plan. Prices are displayed in dollars. The pages we captured do not show the data location, and the English pages are a translation of a French-first site.
Best suited to users of YoPlanning
Independent guides and small adventure schools in France and neighbouring markets. Larger multi-channel operators should look at Regiondo or bookingkit.
