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.

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.
