AskWhisper vs Quicktext

The facts side by side, what each one costs tier by tier, and which of the two we'd pick. Both have been paid for and run at a working European hotel.

The short version

Both land on 6/10 overall, so the choice comes down to fit rather than our scores.

AskWhisper is built for small and mid-size European independents that want published per-room pricing, and properties that want the phone answered as well as the chat. Quicktext is built for hotels wanting a European AI chatbot with direct booking conversion.

Which we'd pick

Quicktext to convert website traffic into bookings, AskWhisper to run guest messaging.

Quicktext is really a booking-conversion tool that also does chat. Thomas tracked about 9% of availability conversations ending in a direct booking, which is a real number he measured rather than a vendor claim, and the company has reached roughly 1,800 hotels on barely $1M of funding, which tells you customers keep renewing. It is French, EU-hosted, and now trades as Quinta at $299 a month for its single Premium tier, priced on room count and quoted in dollars.

For guest messaging specifically, Thomas found Quicktext weak: WhatsApp feels like a website chatbot shoved into a messaging app and guests can tell, the PMS integration is one-way so guest profiles stay blind, and when Velma cannot classify a query the conversation dead-ends. The rebrand to Quinta is half-finished with both names still circulating. AskWhisper is WhatsApp-native, publishes its rates, and answers the telephone, but it has a hundred properties to Quicktext's 1,800 and two years of history to Quicktext's nine.

Drawn from our individual hands-on reviews rather than a fresh head-to-head test. Where a finding belongs to one of us, we've said whose it is.

What each one costs

AskWhisper pricing

Communication suite €7/room/month, €21 minimum
The core product: PMS connection, the AI assistant across WhatsApp, webchat and email, the branded chat, the knowledge base, the guest app and the automated messaging. At my 80 rooms that is €560 a month. The €21 minimum tells you who the entry tier is drawn for, because €21 at €7 a room is a three-room property.
Setup fee €399 one-off
Charged once, on top of the subscription. It buys the PMS connection and the knowledge base build, and in my case that work was done properly rather than handed to me as a form to fill in. Worth knowing it exists before you compare the monthly figure against anyone else's.
Website €4/room/month, €49 minimum
A managed site with the assistant built in, reading live rates from your PMS. Irrelevant to me, as it was with Amenitiz: an established hotel already has a website it has paid for. The €49 minimum puts this at about twelve rooms. Note that a custom domain is not included.
Voice AI €2/room/month
Answers the phone, in several languages, and routes to a human when it cannot cope. €160 a month at my size. Runnr.ai and Canary sell voice agents too, so this is not the rarity I first took it for, but it is priced openly here and it is the one place where the otherwise published pricing goes quiet: usage limits apply and the limits are not stated.
Digital room keys €2/room/month
Self-service check-in and contactless key delivery, through Salto. One lock vendor, so this is either exactly what you need or of no use to you whatsoever. Check your locks before you get attached to the idea.

This is the most transparent pricing in the category and it is still not the cheapest, which are two separate facts and both worth holding. Every rate is on the website with the minimums stated and no sales call in the way. But the structure is a la carte, and per-room add-ons stack: take everything and you are at €15 per room per month, which on my 80 rooms is €1,200 a month, or €14,400 a year, before the €399 setup. Take only the communication suite and it is €6,720 a year. The published headline of €7 is a real number, it is just the first of up to four. Do the arithmetic at your own room count and with only the modules you would actually switch on, because per-room pricing rewards a twenty-room property and punishes mine.

Quicktext pricing

Premium From $299/month
The only tier shown, priced on room count. Bundles eleven products under the new Q- naming, Q-Data, Q-Channel, Q-SEO, Q-Sales, Q-Task, Q-Connect, Q-Hub, Q-Automate, Q-Mail and Q-BI, alongside the fourth-generation Velma chatbot.

Two things moved at once. The rebrand Thomas described as half-finished is now complete: quicktext.im redirects permanently to quinta.im and the site brands itself Quinta throughout, so his complaint about both names circulating is out of date. And the headline price moved from roughly €250 a month to $299, quoted in dollars. For a Paris company selling mainly to European hotels that is worth noticing, because you now carry the exchange risk on a monthly subscription. The product names in our review no longer match the vendor's either.

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 AskWhisper pricing and Quicktext pricing.
