PlanRez vs Wetu
Wetu is a South African-born travel content and itinerary platform known for rich digital itineraries, a large content library and the TravelKey traveller app. PlanRez is a flat-priced back-office for bookings, vehicles, guides and invoices. Many operators would use them for different jobs.
The short verdict
Choose Wetu if your sales depend on beautiful, content-rich digital itineraries and a traveller app, and you already run bookings in another system. Choose PlanRez if you need the operational side — bookings, dispatch of vehicles and guides, invoices and deposits — at a flat $15/month for the whole team.

African market analysis
Many East and Southern African DMCs already send Wetu itineraries to overseas agents — it is a familiar format in the trade.
Cost: a 5-person team on Wetu Premium is about $410/month before VAT; PlanRez is $15 for the whole team.
Using both is realistic: Wetu for selling the dream, PlanRez for running the trip and collecting the money.
