Stay22 alternative for events that want a revenue share on lodging

Stay22 gives you a self-serve lodging map and affiliate commission. If you want the page built and placed for your event, here is how Bookend differs.

Stay22 is a well-known way to add a lodging map to a website and earn affiliate commission on bookings. It is self-serve: you embed the map, place it, and track it yourself. For a blog or a travel site with steady traffic, that is a good fit.

Where events need something different

An event's lodging moment is narrow. Attendees decide where to stay in the minutes and days after they buy a ticket, so what matters is not a map somewhere on the site but a page in the confirmation flow, the reminder emails and the registration platform the event already uses.

How Bookend works

  • We build a lodging page around your event, venue and dates, with hotels and rentals near the venue.
  • We place it where attendees decide: the ticket or registration confirmation, the post-purchase email and your site.
  • You earn around 6–8% of every booking made through your page, with no fee and nothing up front.
  • We handle guest support for the stays, so your team is not answering hotel questions.

When Stay22 is the better choice

  • You run a content site or blog and want a map on many pages.
  • You prefer to manage placement and reporting yourself.
  • You are not tied to one event date or venue.

When Bookend is

  • You run a race, festival, tournament or conference with a date and a venue.
  • You want the page built and placed for you rather than an embed to maintain.
  • You want your share reported per event.

Both models share the same idea: the event earns from travel its attendees would book anyway. The difference is whether you want a tool or a done-for-you placement around your event.
