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.
Little Hotelier
- The product is capped by design at small properties, so a hotel growing past roughly twenty rooms faces a migration rather than an upgrade, usually into SiteMinder plus a separate PMS.
- Reporting is limited to basic occupancy and revenue summaries, which leaves owners exporting to a spreadsheet for anything an accountant or lender asks for.
- Rate and package logic is simple, so properties with seasonal packages, meal plans or complex tax handling end up adjusting rates manually.
- The non-distribution integration list is short, so accounting, door lock, POS or CRM tools outside the small supported set have to be handled by rekeying data.
- Pricing is banded by room count and paid monthly per property, so an operator with three small properties pays three subscriptions with no consolidated view worth the name.

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.
Little Hotelier: Who owns Little Hotelier?
SiteMinder. It is the small property product line of the same company that sells the SiteMinder channel manager.
Clock PMS+: Is there a setup fee?
Yes, onboarding runs roughly 1,650 to 3,900 euros depending on plan.
Little Hotelier: What happens when the property outgrows it?
Most operators move to a fuller PMS and keep SiteMinder for distribution. Expect a data migration rather than a plan change.
Clock PMS+: Is the channel manager included?
No. OTA connections come through RoomCloud at 10 euros per channel per month, up to ten channels.
Little Hotelier: Does it include a channel manager?
Yes, built on the SiteMinder network, which is the main reason to choose it over other small property tools.
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.
Little Hotelier: Can one login manage several properties?
Each property is a separate subscription and the multi-property view is thin, so operators of more than two or three properties usually look elsewhere.
