The short version

  • Only Roomsy has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Amadeus Selling Platform Connect the desktop is inseparable from the Amadeus GDS agreement, so the software cannot be evaluated or bought on its own merits and switching means changing content supplier, incentive income and consultant training at once.; Roomsy every tier has a monthly floor, so a twelve room property on Essential pays $80 rather than $48 and the advertised per room rate is only real above the break-even room count.
  • They diverge on capability: Amadeus Selling Platform Connect covers Graphical PNR management, Roomsy covers Booking calendar.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 1 September 2026.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Amadeus Selling Platform Connect

  • The desktop is inseparable from the Amadeus GDS agreement, so the software cannot be evaluated or bought on its own merits and switching means changing content supplier, incentive income and consultant training at once.
  • Segment incentive agreements carry minimum volume commitments, and agencies that shift traffic to direct airline NDC links or a second GDS can trigger shortfall clawbacks that dwarf any software saving.
  • The graphical layer does not cover every function, so experienced agents still drop into cryptic entries for reissues, complex fare builds and queue work, which keeps the training burden high for new hires.
  • NDC content sits alongside legacy EDIFACT content rather than replacing it, so agents face two ways of booking the same airline with different servicing rules, and post booking changes on NDC orders are more limited.
  • It is a per agent desktop with no meaningful self service layer, so corporates cannot let travellers book directly and agencies must staff every transaction, which caps productivity in low value leisure bookings.

Roomsy

  • Every tier has a monthly floor, so a twelve room property on Essential pays $80 rather than $48 and the advertised per room rate is only real above the break-even room count.
  • Channel management is not on the free or Starter tiers, so the cheapest paid plan cannot connect to Booking.com and buyers regularly select it and then have to upgrade.
  • Some OTA connections are routed through SiteMinder rather than built directly, which introduces a third party into your distribution and a second place for a sync failure to occur.
  • There is no revenue management or dynamic pricing, so rates are manual and go stale unless someone maintains seasonal rules by hand.
  • There is no native point of sale or food and beverage module, so a property with a bar or restaurant runs a separate till and reconciles revenue outside the system.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Amadeus Selling Platform Connect: Can a corporate buy Selling Platform Connect directly?

Practically no. It is sold to accredited travel agencies and airline ticket offices as part of an Amadeus GDS agreement. Corporates buy a self booking tool such as Cytric or a TMC service instead.

Roomsy: What does a thirty room hotel pay?

$120 a month on Essential, which is above the $80 floor. Below twenty rooms you pay the floor instead of the per room rate.

Amadeus Selling Platform Connect: Does it cost a per user licence fee?

Not usually. The commercial model is segment incentives paid to the agency against volume commitments, so the negotiation is about incentive rates and minimum segments, not seat price.

Roomsy: Which plan includes the channel manager?

Essential at $4 per room per month with an $80 minimum. Free and Starter do not include it.

Amadeus Selling Platform Connect: Does it support NDC?

Yes, airline NDC offers are retrieved through Amadeus Travel API and shown alongside EDIFACT content, but servicing rules for NDC orders differ and not every airline exposes the same change and refund functions.

Roomsy: Is the free plan usable?

For a booking calendar, invoicing and a direct booking engine, yes. Without OTA connections most properties will outgrow it quickly.

Roomsy: Does Roomsy take commission on bookings?

No. You pay the subscription only.
