The short version
- Each has a real cost: Apaleo the €400 monthly floor means a property under fifty rooms pays well above the headline €8 per room, so a twenty five room hotel pays €16 per room and the advertised rate is misleading at the small end.; Redeam pricing is not published, so budgeting requires a sales process and there is no way to sanity check the quote against a market rate.
- They diverge on capability: Apaleo covers Open REST API, Redeam covers Reseller connectivity.

Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.
Apaleo
- The €400 monthly floor means a property under fifty rooms pays well above the headline €8 per room, so a twenty five room hotel pays €16 per room and the advertised rate is misleading at the small end.
- Apaleo ships no point of sale, no spa or golf module and no conference and banqueting system, so full service hotels must buy and integrate three or four more products before the stack is complete.
- Because the model assumes you assemble the guest-facing layer from the Store, the real monthly cost is the platform fee plus several third-party subscriptions, and that total is nowhere on the pricing page.
- Support and documentation lean towards developers, so an operator without technical capacity or an implementation partner will find configuration and troubleshooting harder than with a conventional PMS.
- The product and integration ecosystem is strongest in German-speaking Europe, and North American buyers will find fewer local integrations for payments, tax rules and accounting than a US-focused PMS offers.
Redeam
- Pricing is not published, so budgeting requires a sales process and there is no way to sanity check the quote against a market rate.
- It is not a booking engine, so you still pay for a reservation system alongside it and Redeam is an additional line rather than a replacement.
- The value is proportional to the number of reseller relationships you have, so an operator with two OTA connections gains nothing over the channel manager in their existing platform.
- Onboarding involves integrating both your reservation system and each partner, which is a project with dependencies on third parties you do not control.
- The vendor is small relative to the OTAs it connects to, which means limited leverage when a major channel changes its API and connections need rework.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages
Apaleo: What does Apaleo actually cost for a sixty room hotel?
€480 per month for the platform at €8 per room, plus payment processing from 0.6% and whatever Store integrations you add. Below fifty rooms you pay the €400 floor.
Redeam: Is Redeam a booking system?
No. It is connectivity, redemption and reconciliation between your reservation system and your resellers.
Apaleo: Is API access charged separately?
No. All APIs are included in the per room fee, which is unusual in the PMS market where interface fees per connection are common.
Redeam: What does it cost?
Not published. Expect quoting by transaction volume or number of connections.
Apaleo: Does it include a channel manager?
No. You connect one from the Store, such as SiteMinder, and pay that vendor separately.
Redeam: Do I still need a booking platform?
Yes. Redeam sits alongside FareHarbor, Bokun or your own system rather than replacing it.
Apaleo: Can it run a full service hotel?
Only with additional systems. There is no native POS, spa or events module.
Redeam: Does it handle offline resellers?
Yes, including pre-issued and paper vouchers from tour desks and agencies, which is the main reason operators buy it.
