The short version
- Each has a real cost: Chekin there is a three unit minimum on the published plans, so a single-property host cannot buy the entry tier at the advertised rate.; Regiondo a per-ticket fee applies on top of the subscription, so a high-volume operator selling many low-price tickets pays disproportionately compared with one selling few expensive ones.
- They diverge on capability: Chekin covers Police and authority registration, Regiondo covers Booking widget.
- Prices and features above were last checked on 31 August 2026.

Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.
Chekin
- There is a three unit minimum on the published plans, so a single-property host cannot buy the entry tier at the advertised rate.
- The compliance value is regional; outside Spain, Italy, Portugal and Greece there is often no authority integration to use and the product becomes an ordinary check-in form at a per property price.
- Transaction fees sit on almost every money-handling feature, including 1.5% plus EUR 0.99 on payments and 10% on unified inbox transactions, so the effective cost is far above the subscription for anyone using them.
- It is a layer on top of a PMS rather than a replacement, so you are paying a second per property subscription alongside your existing platform and reconciling two sources of guest data.
- Identity verification and self check-in sit behind the Premium tier and Premium only includes one premium feature, so an operator wanting both verification and digital keys must move to Enterprise.
Regiondo
- A per-ticket fee applies on top of the subscription, so a high-volume operator selling many low-price tickets pays disproportionately compared with one selling few expensive ones.
- Regiondo now shares an owner with Rezdy and Checkfront, so evaluating the three against each other is evaluating one company presenting three faces.
- It was owned from 2019 to 2023 by the parent of Jochen Schweizer and mydays, an experience reseller, and operators who signed during that period were running their bookings through a system owned by a distribution competitor.
- Strength is concentrated in German-speaking Europe; OTA depth, language coverage and support quality drop noticeably for operators in other regions.
- The product is deliberately simple, and operations with complex shared-resource constraints across many products find the scheduling model too coarse.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages
Chekin: Why would I buy this rather than use my PMS check-in form?
Because it files guest data with national police registration systems and calculates local tourist tax, which PMS check-in forms do not do.
Regiondo: How much does Regiondo cost?
From about 59 euros a month for Grow and 99 euros for the higher tier, with a small per-ticket fee on confirmed bookings and 10 per cent off for annual payment.
Chekin: What does it really cost?
From EUR 3.95 per property per month with a three unit minimum, plus 1.5% plus EUR 0.30 on deposits, 1.5% plus EUR 0.99 on payments, 1% on upsells and 10% on unified inbox transactions.
Regiondo: Who owns Regiondo?
Expedition Software Holding, backed by Vertica Capital Partners, since 2023. Before that it was owned by ProSiebenSat.1 within the Jochen Schweizer mydays group.
Chekin: Does it work outside southern Europe?
The check-in, verification and key features do. The automated authority filing that justifies the price largely does not.
Regiondo: Does it charge commission on my own website bookings?
Not a percentage commission, but a per-ticket fee applies, so the cost scales with ticket count rather than with revenue.
Chekin: Can I get both identity verification and digital keys on Premium?
No. Premium includes one premium feature. Both requires Enterprise at EUR 7.95 per property per month.
Regiondo: Is it a good fit outside Germany?
It works, but the OTA connections, payment methods and support are built around German-speaking Europe first.
