The short version

  • 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.; Clock PMS+ pricing on annual net revenue means a high-ADR boutique pays materially more than a budget property with the same room count, which is a bad deal for exactly the operators with the strongest performance.
  • They diverge on capability: Amadeus Selling Platform Connect covers Graphical PNR management, Clock PMS+ covers All-inclusive modules.
  • 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.

Clock PMS+

  • Pricing on annual net revenue means a high-ADR boutique pays materially more than a budget property with the same room count, which is a bad deal for exactly the operators with the strongest performance.
  • The onboarding fee of 1,650 to 3,900 euros is a real first-year cost that the monthly figure hides, and it applies before the system is producing any value.
  • The all-inclusive claim has exceptions: OTA channel connections, extra rate mappings and private analytics are all charged separately on top.
  • Contracts are annual with tier reassessment at year end, so a good trading year raises next year subscription automatically unless renegotiated.
  • Market presence is concentrated in Europe and the vendor is small relative to Oracle or Mews, which means a thinner integration ecosystem and more dependence on the vendor for anything bespoke.

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.

Clock PMS+: How is Clock PMS+ priced?

By tier, set from annual net revenue and room count. A 40 room hotel with 1.9 million euros of revenue sits around 517 euros a month.

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.

Clock PMS+: Is there a setup fee?

Yes, onboarding runs roughly 1,650 to 3,900 euros depending on plan.

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.

Clock PMS+: Is the channel manager included?

No. OTA connections come through RoomCloud at 10 euros per channel per month, up to ten channels.

Clock PMS+: Does it include point of sale?

Yes, POS posting to the guest folio is in the base subscription, which is unusual at this price point.
