What each one costs

Amenitiz pricing

Presence €42/month
The PMS core, a booking engine and a basic template website. Aimed at a property coming off spreadsheets that has no online booking at all.
Sales Pro €113/month
Adds integrated payments, the channel manager and more automation. Realistically the minimum for any property connecting to OTAs, and the tier I tested. That's €1,356 a year.
Ultimate+ €125/month
Adds revenue management tools and additional reporting. €1,500 a year for a full year of PMS, channel manager, booking engine, payments and revenue management. I kept re-checking that figure.

Amenitiz publishes a full price grid, charges no commission on direct bookings at any tier, and quotes monthly. After Cloudbeds made me sit through a twenty-minute call to learn the price of the tier I needed, I want to give credit for that plainly. The comparison is stark: at my 80-room property a mid-market PMS like Mews starts around €3,600 a year, and Amenitiz tops out at €1,500. The price difference is not marginal. So the useful question is not whether it's cheap, it's what you don't get, and the honest answer is depth. Read the contract terms as carefully as the price grid.

Cloudbeds pricing

Flex From roughly $180–220/month
The entry configuration, and the only part of the range that carries a starting figure on the website. Fine for a small property that mostly needs the PMS core and a booking engine.
One ~$350/month at 80 rooms
Where most mid-sized independents land, and the tier I was quoted for my Amsterdam property. That works out at about $4.38 per room per month and bundles the PMS, channel manager, booking engine and the basic revenue management module. Roughly $4,200 a year.
Experience ~$500/month at 80 rooms
Adds the full revenue management suite, the guest engagement tools and custom reporting. About $6.25 per room per month, or $6,000 a year at my size. The jump buys you the ability to slice your own data properly, which I resent paying extra for.
Enterprise Quote only
For larger groups and portfolios. No published figure at all.

There's no setup fee (mine was waived, and I'm told that's common) and no commission on direct bookings, which is a real saving: at 72% occupancy and a €135 ADR, a 1–3% direct booking commission would cost me more than the subscription does. My complaint is the partial opacity. Cloudbeds now publishes a starting figure on the entry plans, which is progress, but the tier a property my size actually needs still sits behind a twenty-minute phone call. Amenitiz manages to publish a full grid. Work out your year-one total before that call, not during it.

Prices as last verified during each review. Hotel software pricing moves, and per-room rates behave very differently at 20 rooms and at 200, so run the arithmetic at your own room count. Full detail on Amenitiz pricing and Cloudbeds pricing.
