Compare
DayRunner vs Bókun for planning tomorrow's drivers and vehicles
Bókun takes bookings and sells through OTAs and resellers. DayRunner plans tomorrow's drivers, vehicles and messages. How they compare and fit.
Bókun is a booking system with a big marketplace: it takes bookings, manages availability and sells through OTAs and resellers, including Viator. DayRunner doesn't take bookings. It plans tomorrow from your bookings: a driver and vehicle on every run, checked for licence class, seats and NZ work time, with messages drafted for you to approve. DayRunner doesn't connect to Bókun directly yet, so today you'd bring bookings across by CSV.
What Bókun does well
Distribution is Bókun's strength. Its pricing page lists access to a marketplace of OTAs and resellers on every paid plan, and 0% booking fees on Viator bookings. There's a free plan for Viator only, with one user.
It also has ops tools after the sale. Resource management is on the Start, Plus and Premium plans. An allocation manager is on Plus and Premium. Those plans also list a booking API and webhooks.

Using both together
Bókun stays your booking system and your channel to OTAs. DayRunner does tomorrow's plan.
Today that link is a file. Each evening, export tomorrow's bookings from Bókun as a CSV or Excel file and drop it into DayRunner. It shows every row as it reads it, flags anything it can't read, and remembers your column mapping for next time. You can bring in drivers, vehicles and products the same way. We set it up with you. See integrations.
From there, DayRunner plans the day: a driver and vehicle on every run, checked for licence class, P endorsement, seats, availability and work time. It drafts each guest's pickup message, supplier reconfirmations and driver briefs. Sending email, SMS and WhatsApp for you is rolling out with pilots. Nothing goes until you approve it.
When DayRunner isn't the right fit
- You need a booking system or OTA distribution. DayRunner does neither.
- You want bookings to flow in with no export step. There's no direct Bókun connection yet. What's next is on the roadmap.
- Bókun's allocation manager already covers your day and nobody spends the evening re-planning.
- You run one or two vehicles and the same person does every trip.
Questions
Does DayRunner replace Bókun?
No. Bókun keeps taking bookings and selling through OTAs. DayRunner plans the day after the sale.
Bókun has an allocation manager. Why add DayRunner?
Bókun allocates bookings to resources. DayRunner picks the driver and vehicle for each run, checks licence class and NZ work time, and drafts the guest, supplier and driver messages.
