vs clientbase
Built this decade, for more than contacts.
ClientBase has run agency back offices for years as a contact-first database. Lydira starts from the operation — every vertical you sell, the customer around it, and a real ledger underneath — in a browser, with no desktop client to maintain.
/the honest version
If you need a place to keep contacts and notes, ClientBase does that. If you run a trading business — issuing tickets, reconciling BSP, billing charters, closing a month — you've been gluing that onto it with spreadsheets and a separate accounting package. Lydira is one system for both.
| Lydira | ClientBase | |
|---|---|---|
| Deployment | Browser, hosted or self-hosted | Windows desktop / Res-card lineage |
| Pricing | Flat by plan, not per seat | Per-user, GDS-tied |
| Verticals | Ticketing · visa · tours · charter · hotels · cruise · rentals · transfers | Contact + reservation centric |
| Accounting | Double-entry ledger + e-invoicing in the box | External accounting package |
| AI | Metered credit ledger; bring your own key when self-hosted | No native AI (per public info) |
| Customer portal | Branded portal on every plan | Limited / add-on |
