PMS reference · 2026

Hotel PMS reference

Eight cloud PMS platforms compared for independent hotels. Each page covers positioning, target segment, sourced pricing, strengths and trade-offs, when to choose, and common integrations. Editorially independent: this site is published by the founder of Guestivo, which is guest-journey software (not a PMS), so Guestivo is intentionally absent from /pms/ recommendations.

Cloudbeds

Cloudbeds PMS reference: current package structure, quote requirements, distribution choices, payments and practical evaluation questions.

Mews

Mews PMS reference: current quote process, payments, guest workflows and integration checks without an unsupported per-room price.

Apaleo

Apaleo PMS reference: published EUR 8 per room, EUR 400 monthly minimum, APIs, app costs and responsibilities checked in November 2026.

RoomRaccoon

RoomRaccoon reference: subscription checks, Dynamic Pricing versus RaccoonRev, integrations and payment questions without guessed prices.

Hotelogix

Hotelogix PMS reference: operations, POS, multi-property evaluation, current quote requirements and practical integration checks.

Little Hotelier

Little Hotelier reference: small-property front-desk and distribution workflows, pricing checks, integrations and evaluation questions.

eZee Absolute

eZee Absolute reference: operational fit, configuration, local integrations and written pricing checks without unsupported cost estimates.

SiteMinder

SiteMinder is a distribution platform connected to a PMS. This corrected legacy reference explains Plus, integration checks and pricing scope.

After the PMS decision

Once the PMS is chosen, the guest-journey layer is the next decision. The Guest-Journey Fit-Finder sequences that decision with six questions, and the /compare/ index covers head-to-heads between guest-journey platforms.
