Amenitiz alternatives

Looking for an alternative to Amenitiz (6/10)? We've paid for and run it and 7 other property management tools at our own hotels. Below is an honest side-by-side of the alternatives, ranked by how we rated them. For the full story on any one, read its review. If the sticking point is cost, our Amenitiz pricing breakdown lays out what you'd actually pay.

The reason to look past Amenitiz is almost always size. The pricing is honest and the booking engine is one of the strongest parts of the package for a small property, but the system is built for someone under about 30 rooms, and it shows the moment your operation gets complicated. Split billing for a corporate group, applying a rate adjustment to fourteen rooms at once: the workarounds took me longer than the task should have. Conversion tracking is basic, so if you spend real money on marketing you can't trace where bookings came from. And I'd want you to hear the rate sync concerns from someone running it at scale before committing. The property management systems we've paid for and run at our own hotels are below.

Tools we'd consider instead

  1. 8/10

    Apaleo

    A PMS with a public API, a developer sandbox, and no proprietary UI requirement. I opened the docs before the marketing page. For once, I wasn't disappointed.

    Best for
    Tech-forward hotel groups wanting a headless PMS with best-of-breed integrations
    HQ
    Germany (Munich)
    Pricing
    Quote-based, no setup or licensing fees, open API included

  2. 8/10

    Mews

    Mews processes over $10 billion in payments for its hotels. I wanted to know what that means for where your guest data ends up.

    Best for
    Mid-size independents and lifestyle hotels wanting a modern cloud PMS with integrated payments
    HQ
    Netherlands (Amsterdam)
    Pricing
    From ~€300/month, tiered plans (Essentials, Advanced, Enterprise)

  3. 7/10

    Clock PMS+

    Every subscription is a vote. Clock has been building hotel software since 1994 without taking venture capital. In a market where your PMS vendor might get acquired next quarter, that counts for something.

    Best for
    Independent hotels wanting an all-in-one platform from a bootstrapped European company
    HQ
    UK (London) / Bulgaria (Varna)
    Pricing
    ~€250–810/month depending on revenue and rooms

  4. 7/10

    Guestline

    Guestline has been the default PMS for British independents for years. Then the Access Group bought it. I wanted to know whether the product survived the acquisition.

    Best for
    UK and Irish independents wanting strong distribution and channel management
    HQ
    UK (Shrewsbury)
    Pricing
    Custom pricing, requires sales call

  5. 7/10

    Cloudbeds

    Cloudbeds has raised $253 million and SoftBank is involved. I wanted to know what that buys an 80-room city hotel that could use the money elsewhere.

    Best for
    Independents wanting an all-in-one platform with global distribution reach
    HQ
    USA (San Diego)
    Pricing
    From ~$100/month, four plan tiers, no commission on direct bookings

  6. 7/10

    RoomRaccoon

    I gave Nikos the login on his second day. By lunch he was making reservations. That's the test, and RoomRaccoon passed it.

    Best for
    Small European independents wanting PMS, channel manager, and revenue management in one system
    HQ
    Netherlands (Breda)
    Pricing
    From ~€200/month for a 30-room property

  7. 6/10

    Noovy

    A PMS that costs less per room than a coffee. I wanted to know what you give up for that price, and whether my staff would notice.

    Best for
    Budget-conscious independents wanting radical pricing transparency and simplicity
    HQ
    Europe
    Pricing
    €5/room/month (€95/hotel/month minimum), €499 one-off setup fee, 1-year term

Common questions

What is the best alternative to Amenitiz?

It depends on why you're outgrowing it. If it's operational depth at a larger property, Cloudbeds and Mews both handle awkward scenarios that Amenitiz makes you work around. If you want to keep the low cost and the transparency, Noovy publishes €5 per room per month with a €95 minimum and takes a similar approach to being straight about the number.

Is Amenitiz good for a larger hotel?

Less good than the price suggests, and I say that as someone who wanted the maths to work. At 80 rooms I ran into the limits quickly: bulk rate adjustments, split folios for corporate groups, and marketing attribution I couldn't get at. The website builder, which is a real selling point for a 15-room B&B starting from nothing, is worth nothing to an established property that already has a site and an agency.

What is a good Amenitiz alternative for a small B&B?

If you're under 30 rooms and Amenitiz is working, the honest answer may be to stay. Where people move is when they want stronger channel reliability or more depth in revenue management. Noovy is the closest on price and transparency, and RoomRaccoon sits a step up in capability and cost. Both are European and both publish enough for you to do the sums before a sales call.
