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.; Opera PMS integration is billed rather than open, so every connected system carries a per-property interface fee that inflates the running cost well beyond the quoted subscription.
- They diverge on capability: Clock PMS+ covers All-inclusive modules, Opera PMS covers Reservations and front desk.

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.
Opera PMS
- Integration is billed rather than open, so every connected system carries a per-property interface fee that inflates the running cost well beyond the quoted subscription.
- Implementation typically requires an Oracle partner and runs for months, which puts a property opening timeline at the mercy of partner availability.
- Configuration is dense enough that properties rely on one or two trained staff, and losing that person leaves rate and package changes stuck in a support queue.
- The older OPERA 5 estate is on a migration path to OPERA Cloud, so on-premise customers face a forced project on a timetable set by Oracle rather than by their own budget cycle.
- Small independent properties pay for group, catering and multi-property machinery they will never use, and lighter systems deliver a working front desk in days rather than months.

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.
Opera PMS: Is OPERA Cloud the same product as OPERA 5?
No. They share a name and much of the data model, but OPERA Cloud is a separate multi-tenant application. Moving between them is a migration project, not an upgrade.
Clock PMS+: Is there a setup fee?
Yes, onboarding runs roughly 1,650 to 3,900 euros depending on plan.
Opera PMS: Why do integration partners charge a monthly fee per hotel?
Because Oracle charges them for certification and API usage through OHIP. Partners pass that on, so budget for it per connected system per property.
Clock PMS+: Is the channel manager included?
No. OTA connections come through RoomCloud at 10 euros per channel per month, up to ten channels.
Opera PMS: Can a single independent hotel buy OPERA?
Yes, but the economics rarely work below roughly 100 rooms unless a brand agreement requires it.
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.
Opera PMS: How long does implementation take?
Plan for three to six months for a single complex property, longer for a multi-property rollout.
