Best Affordable Hotel Management Software (2026): Top 8 Compared

Updated November 2026By StatWharf Editorial8 vendorsMethodology

Every product on this page publishes either a free option or a numeric entry price on its own pricing page, and each figure was read from that page on 5 November 2026. Four have a no-charge option: Sirvoy and Freetobook offer free hosted plans, and QloApps and HotelDruid are open-source systems that can be downloaded and self-hosted without a licence fee. The other four publish a monthly starting price. Most hotel systems price by room or unit, so the entry figure applies to a small property and rises with inventory.

These comparisons draw on public product information, not hands-on testing of every tool. Source records identify available references and checks; missing evidence is marked. Buyer fit is an editorial assessment, not a measured performance score. How to use this research.

Hotel management software runs the core of a property: reservations, room assignment, check-in and check-out, guest folios, housekeeping and reports. For a B&B, guest house or small independent hotel, the cost of that software ranges from nothing to several hundred dollars a month, and most vendors price by room, unit or booking rather than by a flat plan. Many established hotel systems also publish no prices at all and sell only through quotes.

This comparison covers eight products that each publish a free option or a numeric entry price on their own pricing page. Every figure was read from the vendor’s page on 5 November 2026, and products whose prices could not be read from a vendor page were left out. The list is not ordered by price, and no product is presented as the lowest-cost choice, because room count, channel connections and payment fees change the real cost from one property to the next. Buyers who need quote-based platforms for larger hotels, groups or chains should see the broader hotel management software comparison.

Vendor details and trade-offs

Sirvoy

budgetsirvoy.com ↗
Consider forOwners of a single room or unit, and small hotels and B&Bs that want a direct booking engine before adding OTA connections
Pricing notesSirvoy Free €0/month for 1 room and up to 5 extras; Starter €12/month billed monthly or €11/month billed yearly; Pro €44/month billed monthly or €41/month billed yearly; figures shown for 1 room, with price rising by room count; extra channel-connected property on Pro €20/month (checked Nov 2026)
Feature to evaluateA free plan with a website builder, direct booking engine, automated guest emails and online payments, without commission

Sirvoy is a cloud property management system, channel manager, booking engine and website builder used by hotels, B&Bs, hostels, apartments and campsites. Its pricing page uses a room-count selector and shows prices in euros, US dollars and seven other currencies, with a yearly billing option that saves 8 percent. For hostels and dorms, four beds count as one room.

At the one-room setting, three plans were displayed. Sirvoy Free costs €0 per month and is described as suited to solo hosts with one unit. It covers one room and up to five extras, a free website and direct booking engine, automated guest emails, and booking, pricing and room management. The page states that the Free plan has no add-ons and that its booking engine carries no commission or fees.

Starter costs €12 per month billed monthly or €11 billed yearly at the same setting. It adds invoicing and basic accounting tools, round-the-clock support by email, chat or phone, and automated SMS messages. Pro costs €44 per month or €41 billed yearly and adds the channel manager for Booking.com, Expedia, Airbnb, Agoda and Hostelworld, Google Hotel Ads, guest history and preferences, and team access with custom permissions. A further channel-connected property costs €20 per month on Pro.

The fit is a very small property that wants direct bookings first. A hotel that relies on OTAs should price Pro at its real room count.

Potential strengths

  • Free plan has no booking commission or fees
  • Starter adds invoicing tools and 24/7 human support
  • Prices shown in nine currencies on the pricing page

Trade-offs

  • Free plan covers only one room
  • Channel manager for Booking.com, Airbnb and others requires the Pro plan

Freetobook

budgeten.freetobook.com ↗
Consider forB&Bs, guest houses, small hotels and hostels that want a free core system and pay only for the services they add
Pricing notesCore system (direct booking engine, booking diary and PMS) free with no tie-in, annual fee or commission; Channel Manager £1.50 per booking, minimum £9 (0–6 bookings) and maximum £99 (66+ bookings) per month, plus £49 one-off connection fee per channel; Card Payments £139/year (single unit £99); Messaging £89/year (single unit £59); Google Bookings £59/year; Reputation Suite £7.50/month paid annually or £15 monthly; Dynamic Pricing price on application (checked Nov 2026)
Feature to evaluateFree booking engine, diary and PMS, with a channel manager charged per booking and capped at £99 a month

Freetobook is an online booking system and property management system from a Glasgow-based company, aimed at hotels, B&Bs, self-catering rentals, hostels and glamping sites. Its pricing page states that the booking engine, diary and PMS are free, with no tie-in, no annual fee and no commission. The core system includes the direct booking engine, an easy booking diary, direct booking links for the property website, flexible occupancy pricing and booking source and occupancy reports.

Paid services are sold as separate add-ons, which the page calls Plus+ services. The channel manager, which connects to Booking.com, Expedia, Airbnb, Hostelworld and others, costs £1.50 per booking, with a minimum of £9 a month for zero to six bookings and a maximum of £99 a month for 66 or more. Direct bookings remain free, and each channel carries a one-off £49 connection fee.

Card Payments costs £139 a year, or £99 for a single unit. Messaging costs £89 a year, or £59 for a single unit. Google Bookings is £59 a year, with Google charging 7 percent of booking value on its ads option. The Reputation Suite is £7.50 a month paid annually or £15 paid monthly, card handling through FabPay starts at 0.4 percent per transaction, and dynamic pricing is quoted on application.

The model suits a small property that takes mostly direct bookings. A busy OTA-dependent hotel will reach the channel manager cap quickly.

Potential strengths

  • Direct bookings carry no commission
  • Channel manager fee is capped at £99 a month
  • Add-ons are bought individually rather than in tiers

Trade-offs

  • Each OTA connection costs £49 once
  • Dynamic pricing is quoted on application

Beds24

Consider forIndependent hotels, guest houses and multi-property managers who want to pay by room and channel link rather than by plan
Pricing notesFrom €15.50/month, calculated from the number of rooms or units; Channel Manager €0.55 per channel link per month; SMS notifications €0.10 per message; additional user log-in €2.00/month; private label subdomain €19.00/month; no contract, minimum term or setup fees; prices quoted in euros (checked Nov 2026)
Feature to evaluatePMS, booking engine, payment processing and guest inbox included in a room-based fee with optional per-link channel pricing

Beds24 is a cloud property management system, channel manager and booking engine used by hotels, guest houses, vacation rentals and multi-property agencies. Its pricing page states a scalable monthly fee from €15.50 per month, regardless of how many bookings the property receives, on a pay-as-you-go basis with no contract, no minimum term and no setup fees.

The fee for the PMS, channel manager and booking engine is calculated from the actual number of rentals, rooms, apartments or other units. The channel manager is charged per link at €0.55 per month, where one link connects one room type to one channel. Other options include SMS booking notifications at €0.10 per message, additional user log-ins at €2.00 per month and a private-label booking subdomain at €19.00 per month. A calculator on the page estimates the monthly fee from rooms, room types and channels.

Included at no extra cost are the PMS, automation tools, payment processing, a central inbox for Airbnb and Booking.com, automated guest and staff messaging, multi-property management, pricing and yield tools, a booking engine, a booking website and a mobile app. Accounts are prepaid like a phone top-up, and payments under €50 carry a small handling fee. Prices are quoted in euros, and EU customers without a valid VAT registration pay VAT.

Beds24 fits operators willing to configure a detailed system themselves, since its support runs through tickets, a forum and webinars.

Potential strengths

  • No commission on bookings
  • Many tools included at no extra cost
  • Payment accepted in USD, AUD, CAD, EUR, GBP or NZD

Trade-offs

  • Channel manager cost grows with each room type and channel connected
  • Support is through tickets and a forum

QloApps

open-sourceqloapps.com ↗
Consider forHotels with in-house or contracted developers that want an open-source PMS and booking website they can host and customise
Pricing notesSelf-Managed free download with no recurring licence fee and community support; Starter Pack $749.99 one-time for server setup, installation and one month of support; Cloud Prime $16/month billed yearly ($19.00 shown with a 17% yearly discount); Cloud Scale $28/month billed yearly ($33.00 shown); managed hosting Basic $500/year, Business $1,000/year, Professional $1,500/year (checked Nov 2026)
Feature to evaluateFree and open-source hotel management system covering PMS, website and booking engine, with full source code

QloApps describes itself as an open-source, free hotel booking and management system. The ecosystem includes a property management system, hotel website, booking engine and channel manager connections. Its pricing page splits options into self-managed software, cloud plans and managed hosting.

The Self-Managed option is a free download for developers and technical users who install, configure and run QloApps on their own server. The page lists it as free forever, with community support, no recurring licence fees and full source code access. A Starter Pack costs $749.99 as a one-time payment and adds server setup and installation, one month of support and free training for hotels without technical staff.

Cloud plans are priced by room count with monthly or yearly billing and a 17 percent yearly discount. At the page's default setting, Prime was shown at $16 per month billed yearly against $19.00, and covers the PMS with front desk, housekeeping, guest management and reports. Scale was shown at $28 against $33.00 and adds the booking engine, property website, online booking, payment gateway integration, promotions and dynamic pricing. Enterprise is quoted. Managed QloApps hosting is sold separately at $500, $1,000 or $1,500 a year by server size.

The free route suits a hotel that already pays for hosting and development. Others should compare the cloud price at their room count.

Potential strengths

  • Self-Managed edition has no licence fee
  • Full source code access
  • Hosted cloud plans available for non-technical owners

Trade-offs

  • Self-Managed users rely on community support
  • Channel manager connectivity and mobile apps are sold as add-ons

HotelDruid is a free and open-source property management program developed by DigitalDruid.Net and released under the AGPL licence, which allows the code to be modified. The project's site states that it suits a range of properties, from bed and breakfasts or vacation rentals with a few apartments to hotels with hundreds of rooms. The latest release listed was version 3.0.8, dated 4 December 2025.

The software is web-based and runs from any connected device. Documented features include a configurable number of rooms, periods and rates; automatic room assignment by user-defined rules; extra costs, special offers and restrictions on rates; customised receipts, invoices and emails; multi-user access with privileges; a point of sale for bars and restaurants with inventory management; occupancy and revenue statistics; group bookings; backups; and a drag-and-drop calendar. The interface ships in English, Italian and Spanish, with modules for other languages.

The software itself can be downloaded and installed at no cost. DigitalDruid.Net also sells a hosting service billed as an annual fee calculated from the number of rooms or apartments; the page uses a calculator and no figure was recorded. Hosting includes the proprietary booking engine and channel manager modules, 300MB of webspace, SSL, daily backups and email support. The booking engine module is also sold separately for self-hosted installs at 10 euros including taxes.

HotelDruid suits an owner comfortable with a plain interface and self-managed setup.

Potential strengths

Single-property pricing starts from $50 per month, with a note that a minimum applies, and a 14-day free trial. Multi-property pricing starts from $125 per month, with a 30-day free trial. A quick-quote calculator asks for the number of properties and bedrooms.

Feature to evaluateA single per-room subscription covering PMS, channel manager, booking engine and unlimited user accounts

SabeeApp is a cloud hotel management system that combines a property management system, channel manager and booking engine. Its pricing page states one monthly subscription with no per-user charge, no surprise licence fees and no long-term contract, and a 14-day free trial. The only factor that changes the core price is the number of rooms, beds or units. Private rooms count as one unit and dormitory beds as a quarter of a unit.

The calculator on the page showed €89 per month for a hotel with nine rooms, labelled as an indicative price excluding VAT, with final pricing confirmed for the buyer's setup. The page describes the slider as showing the price from month five. The core subscription includes the PMS, the channel manager with more than 70 OTA connections, the commission-free booking engine, the marketplace, unlimited user logins and a dedicated account manager.

Optional add-ons are billed separately from the first day. At the one-to-nine-room size, Smart Solutions for contactless check-in, guest feedback and smart locks costs €44 per month, Unified Inbox €29, Cash Drawer €9, an API connection €50, multi-company invoicing €39 and POSCloud €54. SabeePay charges 0.5 percent per transaction plus Stripe fees.

SabeeApp suits a small independent hotel or hostel that wants distribution and direct booking in the base subscription. Buyers should confirm the regular price after the first months.

Potential strengths

  • No per-user charge
  • Channel manager and booking engine included in the core price
  • No long-term contract

Trade-offs

Feature to evaluateA single published per-unit price that covers the whole cloud PMS, with free integrations rising by property size

WebRezPro is a cloud property management system whose site lists versions for hotels and motels, inns and B&Bs, vacation rentals, hostels, campgrounds and RV parks, and multi-property operators. Its pricing page states that the PMS costs $10 per unit per month, with a minimum of $100 per month, and that one price covers everything needed to run the property in the cloud with no system setup fees.

Minimums rise by property size. Properties of one to 14 units pay at least $100 a month, 15 to 24 units at least $150, 25 to 49 units at least $250, 50 to 74 units at least $500, 75 to 99 units at least $750 and 100 to 149 units at least $1,000. At 150 units or more, the page shows a $1,500 minimum and asks the buyer to contact WebRezPro for pricing. Every band includes a payment gateway integration, and bands from 15 units up add between one and five free integrations of the buyer's choice.

Features listed within the base price include integrated accounting, gift vouchers, POS purchases, security profiles with two-factor authentication and regular software updates. Additional integrations beyond the included allowance are listed on the vendor's integrations page.

WebRezPro also appears on StatWharf's general hotel management software comparison. It fits a property of roughly 10 or more units, where the per-unit rate rather than the monthly minimum sets the bill.

Potential strengths

  • Published per-unit price with no system setup fee
  • Integrated accounting, gift vouchers and POS purchases listed in the base price

How to choose a vendor

Price the system at the property's real room count

Entry prices on this page are quoted for one room (Sirvoy), a small band of rooms (SabeeApp's 1 to 9), a minimum monthly fee (WebRezPro, eviivo) or a base account (Beds24). Run each vendor's calculator with the actual number of rooms, beds or units before comparing figures.

Find out whether the channel manager is included

SabeeApp includes its channel manager in the core subscription, while other systems charge for distribution separately. Freetobook charges £1.50 per channel booking, Beds24 charges €0.55 per channel link per month, and Sirvoy keeps OTA connections on its Pro plan.

Count payment and booking fees on top of the subscription

eviivo lists a processing fee of $0.50 per confirmed booking, SabeePay charges 0.5% per transaction plus Stripe fees, and Freetobook's card handling starts at 0.4% per transaction. These charges scale with occupancy, not with the plan.

Budget the hidden cost of self-hosting

QloApps and HotelDruid carry no licence fee when self-installed, but the hotel pays for a server, backups, security updates and someone to run them. Both vendors also sell hosted or managed options for buyers without technical staff.

Frequently asked questions

What counts as affordable hotel management software on this page?

A product qualifies only if its own pricing page publishes a free option or a numeric entry price. Every figure was read from the vendor's page on 5 November 2026. Systems that price only by quote, or whose pricing page could not be read, were left out. The page does not order products by price or name any product the lowest-cost option, because room count, channels and payment fees change the total for each property.

Which products on this page have a free option?

Sirvoy offers a Free plan for one room with a website, booking engine and online payments. Freetobook makes its booking engine, booking diary and PMS free and charges only for add-ons. QloApps and HotelDruid are open-source systems that can be downloaded and self-hosted without a licence fee, with paid hosted options for buyers who prefer not to run servers.

Is a free hotel PMS enough for a small property?

It can be for a property that takes most bookings directly. Free plans usually omit or charge for the channel manager: Sirvoy keeps OTA connections on Pro, and Freetobook charges £1.50 per channel booking. Self-hosted open-source systems need hosting, backups and updates. A property that sells heavily through Booking.com or Expedia should price the paid distribution option before committing.

How do per-room prices affect the comparison?

Most systems here scale with inventory. Sirvoy's figures were shown for one room, SabeeApp's for nine rooms, and WebRezPro charges $10 per unit above a $100 monthly minimum. Beds24 adds €0.55 per channel link, and eviivo adds per-room extras. A 30-room hotel can therefore see very different totals from a three-room B&B, so each calculator should be run at the real room count.

What extra fees should a budget-conscious hotel check?

Booking and payment fees sit on top of subscriptions. eviivo lists $0.50 per confirmed booking, SabeePay charges 0.5% per transaction plus Stripe fees, Freetobook card handling starts at 0.4% per transaction, and Freetobook charges £49 per new channel connection. VAT is excluded from the eviivo and SabeeApp figures, and Beds24 charges EU VAT to customers without a valid VAT registration.

Does open-source hotel software cost nothing?

The licence costs nothing for QloApps and HotelDruid, but running the software does not. The hotel pays for a server, security updates, backups and technical help. QloApps sells a one-time $749.99 setup pack and managed hosting from $500 a year, and DigitalDruid.Net sells annual HotelDruid hosting priced by number of units.

How does this list differ from the general hotel management software comparison?

The general comparison covers platforms for independent hotels through chains, several of which price only by quote, such as Oracle OPERA Cloud, Mews, Cloudbeds and Stayntouch. This page includes only products with a published free option or entry price and adds Sirvoy, Freetobook, Beds24, QloApps, HotelDruid, eviivo and SabeeApp. WebRezPro appears on both.

How was this comparison compiled?

StatWharf Editorial compared eight hotel management systems using each vendor's public product and pricing pages, checked on 5 November 2026. Prices reflect what those pages showed on that date. No product was tested hands-on, and no vendor reviewed or confirmed its entry. Buyer fit is drawn from vendor documentation, not from a ranking.
