What each one costs
LIKE MAGIC pricing
- Core From €350/month
- Stated as both the starting price and the monthly minimum. Covers the guest journey: digital, branded, and in likemagic's own framing frictionless.
- Platform From €400/month
- Starting price and monthly minimum again. Adds the operations side, task management and housekeeping monitoring.
- Annual billing 10% discount
- Applied to the per-room pricing and to the monthly minimums alike, which is stated rather than implied.
- Add-ons Price not stated
- Booking engine, digital keys, wallet keys and kiosk are all available on either tier, and none of them carries a published figure. This is the gap left in an otherwise open price list.
likemagic published its pricing during 2026, having hidden it behind a demo call when we reviewed it. That is the single clearest improvement we have recorded in this category, and it answers the loudest complaint in Elena's review directly. Two tiers, both with stated monthly minimums, and an annual discount that is spelled out rather than dangled. The add-on prices are still missing, so a property that needs digital keys or a kiosk is back to asking. But you can now budget for likemagic before you speak to anybody, and a year ago you could not.
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permanently to quinta.im and the site brands itself Quinta throughout, so his complaint about both names circulating is out of date.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 LIKE MAGIC pricing and Quicktext pricing.

LIKE MAGIC
After Duve made me say 'oh no' out loud, I went looking for something my seasonal staff could learn before the first guest arrived. LIKE MAGIC came close. Not all the way, but close.
-
Quicktext
Quicktext's chatbot still converts direct bookings and still handles multilingual queries well. They've added WhatsApp and a new brand name. Neither fixes the integration problems I flagged previously.
