Cloudbeds alternatives for small hotels
Cloudbeds publishes no prices and asks for a quote. If you'd rather compare published prices first, here are alternatives whose pricing we could verify on their own websites, including Hostlio Pro (our product).
Short answer: for a small independent property, the main questions are how you pay (flat fee, per room or a share of revenue), whether the channel manager is included, and whether guest messaging is part of the plan. Hostlio Pro, Sirvoy and Beds24 publish flat or usage-based prices; HotelRunner charges a share of booking revenue; Amenitiz, like Cloudbeds, gives quotes.
