The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Boostly the dominant cost is the one-off build fee, which is quoted rather than published and typically runs into the thousands, so the monthly figure hosts quote to each other badly understates the commitment.; RoomPriceGenie the flat per-property fee is a hard floor with no smaller tier, so a twelve-room property pays roughly seventeen euros per room per month, often more than its property management system costs.
  • They diverge on capability: Boostly covers Custom WordPress site, RoomPriceGenie covers Automated rate setting.

Where each one falls short

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

Boostly

  • The dominant cost is the one-off build fee, which is quoted rather than published and typically runs into the thousands, so the monthly figure hosts quote to each other badly understates the commitment.
  • It is a website and a marketing programme, not a property management system; you still need and still pay for a PMS underneath it.
  • Results depend entirely on your own effort producing content and email, and a site with no traffic strategy produces no direct bookings regardless of how well it is built.
  • The build is WordPress, which means plugin updates, hosting decisions and the security exposure that comes with the platform, all of which land on you or on a paid maintenance arrangement.
  • Coaching and community are a large share of what you pay for, which is poor value for an operator who already has marketing capability and only wants the booking site.

RoomPriceGenie

  • The flat per-property fee is a hard floor with no smaller tier, so a twelve-room property pays roughly seventeen euros per room per month, often more than its property management system costs.
  • The model is deliberately simple and does not handle segmentation, group displacement or total revenue optimisation, so hotels with substantial conference or wholesale business will find it pricing only the transient shoulder.
  • Automation quality depends entirely on clean data from the PMS, and properties with inconsistent rate plans or room-type setups get poor recommendations until that is fixed, which is a project the vendor does not do for you.
  • Competitor rate shopping is weaker in dispersed rural markets where there is no meaningful comparable set to shop against.
  • Multi-property reporting sits only on the most expensive tier, so a two-property owner must pay 440 euros per property to see them together rather than logging into each separately.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Boostly: Is Boostly a property management system?

No. It builds direct booking websites and teaches marketing. Your PMS stays where it is and Boostly plugs into it.

RoomPriceGenie: How much does RoomPriceGenie cost?

Roughly 198 euros per property per month at the entry tier, 297 for Premium and 440 for the multi-property Professional tier, with about seventeen per cent off for annual payment.

Boostly: What does it actually cost?

Pricing is not published. The structure is a substantial one-off build fee, commonly quoted in the low thousands of US dollars, plus a smaller ongoing subscription.

RoomPriceGenie: Is it worth it for a fifteen-room hotel?

That is the awkward size. The fee works out around thirteen euros per room per month, so the revenue uplift has to be real rather than assumed before it pays.

Boostly: Do I own the website?

It is built on WordPress, so unlike a closed platform site you retain something transferable, though moving it off Boostly means taking on hosting and maintenance yourself.

RoomPriceGenie: Does it replace a revenue manager?

For a small independent with no analyst, largely yes. For a hotel with group and conference business it does not, because it does not model displacement.

Boostly: Will it replace Airbnb bookings?

Only to the extent you drive traffic to it. The site converts demand you generate; it does not create demand on its own.

RoomPriceGenie: Can I keep manual control?

Yes. It can run in recommendation mode where prices are suggested and you approve them, rather than writing automatically to the PMS.
