What each one costs
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.
Noovy pricing
- Per-room subscription €5/room/month
- One number, published on the website in plain figures, with a €95 monthly minimum for very small properties. For my thirty rooms that comes to €150 a month, and it covers the PMS, channel manager, booking engine, basic revenue management and guest communication together.
- Setup fee €499 one-off
- Stated openly rather than sprung on you later, which is the part I want to praise. It takes a real bite out of year one, so count it in your first-season budget rather than treating it as a rounding error.
No tiers to decode, no starting-from language that means something different once you're on a call. I showed the pricing page to my mother and she nodded, and that nod carries weight in our family. This matters more than principle for a seasonal hotel: we budget in the winter for the summer and hire on those projections, so a surprise charge in July doesn't just cost money, it costs the hours I spend reading invoices instead of talking to guests. Against RoomRaccoon at around €200 a month for my size and Mews closer to €300, Noovy at €150 gives back about €900 across a six-month season. That's most of a seasonal hire's first month. Note the one-year term.
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 Mews pricing and Noovy pricing.
