TourSoft is a low-cost cloud itinerary and quotation builder with a travel library, maps, vouchers and a basic CRM, used by small teams. MeisterCRM is a cloud travel CRM for tour operators, DMCs and safari companies with a pricing engine at its core. The biggest difference: TourSoft stores supplier costs in a library but describes no markup or margin control, and its CRM is light, while MeisterCRM prices the itinerary with margin per item inside a full pipeline. Here is how they compare.
The short answer
Choose TourSoft if your main need is building and sharing itineraries block by block with a travel library and maps, you want a free plan or the lowest price per user, and you manage your pipeline and margins elsewhere. Choose MeisterCRM if you want the pricing engine and the CRM together: supplier contracts, park fees, room allocation and markup price the itinerary with the margin visible, every enquiry has a stage, owner and next task with WhatsApp and Gmail on the lead, and confirmed trips become bookings with invoices, vouchers and profit per trip.
TourSoft keeps supplier costs in a library without described markup. MeisterCRM prices with markup and VAT per item and shows the margin before sending.
TourSoft's contacts and enquiries are called limited by reviewers. MeisterCRM gives every lead a stage, owner, next task, and WhatsApp and Gmail on the record.
TourSoft issues vouchers. MeisterCRM adds customer invoices, supplier booking requests, instalments and planned against actual cost per trip.

What the marks mean
When the price lives in a spreadsheet that one or two experienced agents understand, every quote depends on them. MeisterCRM keeps buying rates, validity dates, age bands, room rules, park fees, currencies and markup in the same record as the lead and the proposal, so any agent can quote from approved rates and a manager can review the margin before it goes out.

Why teams switch
TourSoft keeps supplier costs in its travel library, and its listings describe no markup per item, seasonal rates or margin check. MeisterCRM prices from contracts with seasons, puts markup and VAT on every item, applies park fees, rooms and age bands, and shows cost, price and margin before the proposal goes out.
TourSoft has contacts, leads and enquiries, which reviewers call limited, and describes no WhatsApp or email inbox. MeisterCRM gives every enquiry a stage, owner, budget and next task, replies to web form leads instantly, and keeps WhatsApp and Gmail on the lead.
Both build itineraries with maps. MeisterCRM sends branded web and PDF proposals in more than 40 languages with AI translation and interactive route maps across 66 countries, where TourSoft reviewers ask for PDF export and its translation is not described.
MeisterCRM turns a confirmed proposal into a booking with customer invoices, supplier booking requests and vouchers that keep the planned cost, so you see the profit of every trip. TourSoft issues vouchers with payment status, and does not describe invoices or cost per trip.

FAQ
For tour operators and DMCs that want margin control and a real pipeline next to their itineraries, MeisterCRM is a strong TourSoft alternative. It builds branded, map-rich proposals like TourSoft, but prices them from supplier contracts with markup and VAT per item and the margin visible, keeps WhatsApp and Gmail on the lead, and turns confirmed trips into bookings with invoices, vouchers and profit per trip.
Both build itineraries block by block with maps and vouchers. TourSoft is a low-cost builder with a travel library of supplier costs, a light CRM and no described markup or margin control. MeisterCRM is a travel CRM with a pricing engine at its core: supplier contracts, park fees, rooms and age bands with margin per item, a pipeline with WhatsApp and Gmail, and bookings with invoices, vouchers and profit per trip.
Partly. TourSoft keeps suppliers with costs in its travel library and lists multi-currency, as of October 2026, but its listings describe no seasonal rates, markup per item, park fees, room allocation or a margin check per quote, and reviewers ask for cost tracking. MeisterCRM prices the itinerary as you build it: supplier contracts and 300+ accommodation products, markup and VAT per item, park fees per person or per group, automatic room allocation and age-band child prices, with the margin of every quote visible before it goes out.
A basic one. TourSoft has contacts, leads and enquiries with alerts when customers act, and reviewers call the CRM limited; pipeline stages with owners and tasks, web form automations and a WhatsApp or Gmail inbox are not described. In MeisterCRM the CRM and the pricing engine are one product: leads from your web form land in a pipeline with stages, owners and tasks, automations reply and schedule the follow-up, and WhatsApp and Gmail conversations stay on the lead next to the priced proposal.
