Short stayAirbnb and the channels, one calendarAll six, side by side →Cloudbeds is real hospitality software — a hotel PMS with a channel manager and a booking engine, sold worldwide on quote-based USD pricing. It is the strongest name on this list at what it does. Below, the seven things every property business needs; every verdict on their side names its source and the day we checked it.
The front desk and the channel manager are genuinely theirs — a pure hotel with no long-term side is well served there.
The moment the estate needs what it does not carry: a hospitality platform — no estate gatehouse. Those are not gaps in their product — they are a different product, and an operator who runs more than one kind often needs both.
The same seven rows appear on all ten of these pages, in the same order, argued the same way.
who came in, what they drove, what they carried — the guard’s book
a hospitality platform — no estate gatehouse
Who came in, what they drove, what they carried. An estate has a gate, and the gate keeps a book; software that runs the estate keeps it too.
check-in, the folio, the night’s close — a hotel’s real desk
a full hotel PMS — front desk, housekeeping and the audit are its home ground
Airbnb, Booking.com and Agoda in and out, so a door is never sold twice
a channel manager with hundreds of OTA connections, on the One plan and up
your own page that takes a booking without a commission
a commission-free booking engine — included from the One plan, not the entry tier
a dollar price you can plan on, never a slice of your rent
quote-based USD subscriptions, plus per-transaction payment fees
A price you can plan on, in your own currency. No slice of the rent or the booking, and no bill that grows every time a door is added.
your name on every page and paper, not ours
we could not verify this
apartments, buildings, HOAs, beds, hotels and short stay in one set of books
hotels, hostels and short stays — no long-term ledger, no dues, no HOA
The long lets next to the short stays, the dues next to the beds — one book for the whole business, not one tool per kind of door.
Clear them to see the seven again.
Of the seven above, these are the ones that end the conversation here rather than merely shading it.
A price you can plan on, in your own currency. No slice of the rent or the booking, and no bill that grows every time a door is added.

We did, on Cloudbeds’s own public pages, on the date printed in each cell. Our deploy gate goes red when a date passes 90 days, so a claim is re-checked or it comes down. Seen otherwise? Tell us at /support and we will print it.
Yes. Premises reads any calendar that speaks iCal and answers with its own feed, exports every book as a spreadsheet, and nothing in it locks a door. Most estates retire the second tool within a quarter; nothing forces it.
Nothing, up to fifty properties, on every plan. You send the export and a person on our side loads it — doors, people, balances, dates — before your first login. Over fifty, or coming off software we have not seen, we scope it first and give you the date before you commit.
No card, no contract, every module open. On day 181 you choose month by month or the yearly term, or you export your books and leave with them.
Free under five doors for as long as the Free plan is offered. Never a percentage of what you collect, on any channel, including your own door.
