Savanna Sync vs Tourwriter (2026)

Last updated

The short answer

Tourwriter is polished software for luxury and bespoke travel (itinerary design, CRM, bookings, financials and analytics) built for DMCs and inbound operators designing multi-day FIT trips. Its published plans are $99 per user per month (Starter, up to 25 itineraries a year) and $149 per user per month (Pro, up to 50 itineraries a year), billed annually, with a one-time set-up cost from $1,199 and a demo-led start. Savanna Sync includes unlimited quotes and itineraries on every plan, is priced monthly from KES 15,000 (about $115), takes M-Pesa, and has a 14-day free trial. For a luxury FIT brand, Tourwriter is a strong fit; for an African safari operator quoting often, Savanna Sync removes the itinerary caps and the annual commitment.
