The short version

  • Each has a real cost: 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.; DPGO the 0.5% and per booked night plans are invoiced every two weeks, which produces twenty six variable invoices a year and is awkward for anyone doing simple monthly bookkeeping.
  • They diverge on capability: Clock PMS+ covers All-inclusive modules, DPGO covers AI rate generation.

Where each one falls short

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

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.

DPGO

  • The 0.5% and per booked night plans are invoiced every two weeks, which produces twenty six variable invoices a year and is awkward for anyone doing simple monthly bookkeeping.
  • Market analytics are thin compared with larger competitors, so you get a recommended rate without much tooling to interrogate why or to define your own comparable set.
  • The integration list is shorter than PriceLabs or Wheelhouse, so operators on less common property management systems may have to push rates manually or not at all.
  • Recommendation quality drops sharply in low-density markets where there are too few comparable listings for the model to learn from, and there is little warning when this is the case.
  • It is a pricing engine only, with no length of stay optimisation across a portfolio or channel-level yield strategy, so professional managers usually run it alongside other tools rather than instead of them.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

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.

DPGO: Which billing model is cheapest?

It depends on occupancy. At $1 per booked night you pay $18 only if a listing is booked eighteen nights a month, so low-occupancy listings should use Fixed or Pay as You Go and high-occupancy ones the flat fee.

Clock PMS+: Is there a setup fee?

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

DPGO: Does it push rates to Airbnb?

Yes, directly, and to Vrbo and through supported property management systems.

Clock PMS+: Is the channel manager included?

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

DPGO: Is there a trial?

30 days, with no card required.

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.

DPGO: Does it handle minimum stay rules?

It sets nightly rates and orphan gap pricing. Length of stay strategy is limited compared with a full revenue management system.
