100% open source code
The free edition came with complete access to its source code. Every paid licence still includes the full source, under a commercial licence.
Hotel module
Basic hotel booking was the only product in the free version. The full platform sells flights, hotels, tours and cars from one admin.
Free lifetime licence
No expiry and no renewal fees. Paid plans keep the same model: you pay once, with no subscription.
No hidden charges
The free edition cost nothing up front. Today's prices are fixed and published: one-time.
Basic community support
Help for free users came from the community. Paid plans include basic, priority or premium support, depending on the plan.
Upgrade at any time
Free users could move to a paid licence whenever they were ready. That upgrade path is now the way to run PHPTRAVELS.
