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.
Guestline pricing
- Custom quote Sales call required
- There is no published pricing and no tier grid. What you pay comes out of a negotiation, which is the whole problem. I know what I pay, and I know roughly what two colleagues pay, and the numbers differ enough that I suspect the figure has more to do with negotiating skill than with property size.
I still don't know what Guestline costs a new customer in 2026, and I've used it for four years. The lack of published pricing was a red flag before the Access Group acquisition and it's more of one now, because new ownership often means new pricing, and opaque pricing makes it easier to raise rates without anyone outside the room noticing. If you're evaluating Guestline, get quotes from at least two other PMS vendors first so you have something to hold it against. Don't negotiate in the dark.
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 Guestline pricing.

Amenitiz
A PMS that publishes its pricing, charges no commission, and starts at €42/month. I checked the maths. Then I checked whether you actually get a PMS for that.
-
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.
