What each one costs

Clock PMS+ pricing

Scaled subscription ~€250–810/month
One model, scaled by room count and revenue rather than split into feature tiers that withhold things you need. No per-room-per-night surcharges that climb unpredictably as your occupancy rises, and no requirement to sit through a deck before anyone will name a number.

By PMS standards this is transparent, and I don't say that often. You can find the range, you can work out roughly where your property lands, and the all-in-one bundle means the figure you see is close to the figure you pay rather than a base rate with the useful parts sold separately. Sophie would appreciate it; she keeps spreadsheets on exactly this sort of thing. Worth remembering what you're also buying: a company that has built hotel software since 1994 without taking venture capital, which means no investor clock running down toward an exit.

Mews pricing

Essentials From around €300/month
The entry tier, and the one where shorter contract terms are available. Elena pays at the lower end of the range for her 30-room property and considers it reasonable value.
Advanced Scales with rooms and features
The mid tier. Pricing assumes a two-year agreement, which is the part I'd want you to read carefully before signing.
Enterprise Quote only
For larger portfolios, with pricing shaped by room count, payment processing volume and add-ons. Also assumes the two-year term.

Transparency here is mixed rather than bad. The tier structure and starting prices are on the website, which I appreciate, but the figure for your specific property still needs a sales conversation because it depends on rooms, payment volume and add-ons. My real objection is the contract. Two years is a long time to commit to a vendor before you've seen how they handle a major incident, or how support holds up once onboarding hands you to the general queue. Two-year terms are common in this category, but cloud-native competitors like RoomRaccoon bill monthly without locking you in. If Mews is confident the product retains customers on merit, the contract shouldn't need to do the retaining.

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 Clock PMS+ pricing and Mews pricing.
