What each one costs

Optii Solutions pricing

Custom quote Per room, per month, figure withheld
The model is per room per month, which is standard for the category. The number is not published anywhere I could find. I had to book a call, describe my property, explain my needs and wait. The rep was knowledgeable and the call was efficient. I still shouldn't have needed it.

If I need a demo call to see your pricing, I already know it's too expensive. Or at least I know you think I'll be put off by the number without context. The reason it grates more here than elsewhere is that Optii sells on ROI, and you cannot evaluate a return without the cost side of the equation. Their materials reference a 500% ROI within months of implementation, which is the sort of claim that makes me reach for the calculator. Get your quote first, then model the saving against your own labour costs, not against their percentage.

RoomChecking pricing

Entry From $199/month
Works out around $2.50 per room per month depending on property size. A published starting figure, which after a run of vendors in this category who won't name one is a small mercy.
Volume Discounts for larger operations
Available above the entry level. As ever, the detail arrives in a conversation rather than on a page.

There's a free trial but no free tier, so you can test properly before committing without running it indefinitely on nothing. For a 45-room property, $199 a month isn't expensive if it saves your supervisor half an hour a day and stops the sort of miscommunication that puts a guest into an uncleaned room. That's happened to me twice in four years, both times because a paper handover failed between shifts. A digital system that catches those failures is worth real money. Whether this particular one earns it depends less on price than on whether your staff can read it, which is a separate problem I'd test first.

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 Optii Solutions pricing and RoomChecking pricing.
