Key features
Front Desk (PMS)
Booking Engine
Channel Manager
Pros
Easy to learn and use with friendly 24/7 support.
Commission-free direct bookings through its integrated booking engine.
Cons
The channel manager that syncs Booking.com, Airbnb, and other OTAs is locked to the Pro plan, so properties on the cheaper Starter tier cannot connect distribution channels and must jump to the roughly three-times pricier Pro plan to do so.
Reporting and data export are thin, with users citing no Excel download, limited guest history, and statistics shown in VAT rather than raw figures, which frustrates anyone wanting to analyze performance outside the platform.
