Published minimum: EUR 400 monthly. This is the PMS foundation price, not the cost of a complete app stack or payment processing.
Apaleo pricingDuve Basic package
EUR 5 per room per month
Published Basic minimum: EUR 100 monthly. The same page lists a one-time EUR 600 onboarding fee and separate Pro and Premium packages. These are starting plan terms, not a property-specific quote.

From EUR 99 per month
Annual-billing starting price varies with rooms/beds. The page lists a EUR 99 setup fee for each five properties. Pro and Premium have different scope and charges; do not compare the base alone with a larger bundle.

GuestRevu pricingHow to use these numbers
These products serve different jobs and are not a normalized cost comparison. Confirm the current region, plan, room count, minimum, billing period, onboarding, taxes, integrations and transaction charges before using a figure in a budget.
How to evaluate an outcome claim
A vendor case study describes its own measurement and customer context. It does not establish a typical result for another hotel. Look for the baseline, denominator, measurement period, product scope and concurrent operational changes. Where those are unavailable, omit the benchmark rather than infer a forecast.
Calculations are scenarios
The PMS ROI calculator and other hotel planning tools use assumptions you can change. Their outputs are arithmetic scenarios. Time valued at a staff rate is not automatically payroll saved, and an assumed revenue uplift is not evidence that the software causes it.
