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.; PriceLabs the market dashboard is a separate subscription from the pricing engine, so the widely quoted 19.99 figure is not what most serious users pay per listing.
  • They diverge on capability: Clock PMS+ covers All-inclusive modules, PriceLabs covers Dynamic nightly pricing.

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.

PriceLabs

  • The market dashboard is a separate subscription from the pricing engine, so the widely quoted 19.99 figure is not what most serious users pay per listing.
  • The revenue share alternative at one per cent of bookings is a poor deal for high average daily rate properties, where it can cost several times the per-listing price.
  • Market data quality collapses in destinations with few tracked listings, which is precisely where an owner has the least pricing intuition of their own.
  • It will happily discount to zero margin if the base price and minimum are set carelessly, and the tool does not know your cost base, so an inattentive user can lose money faster than they would manually.
  • It prices but does not distribute or manage; you still need a PMS or channel manager underneath, and rate push failures between the two systems are a recurring support burden.

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.

PriceLabs: What does PriceLabs cost for ten listings?

Around 19.99 US dollars per listing per month at that volume for dynamic pricing, plus about 9.99 per market for the dashboard if you want the competitor data.

Clock PMS+: Is there a setup fee?

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

PriceLabs: Should I take the one per cent revenue share instead?

Only if your average nightly rate and occupancy are low. On a listing earning 40,000 dollars a year the revenue share costs roughly 400 dollars against about 240 for the per-listing plan.

Clock PMS+: Is the channel manager included?

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

PriceLabs: Does it work for hotels?

It connects to Cloudbeds and similar systems and is used by small properties, but it is built around rental demand signals rather than hotel segmentation and forecasting.

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.

PriceLabs: Can I override the algorithm?

Extensively. Base price, minimum and maximum, seasonal profiles and day-of-week adjustments are all directly editable and reusable across a portfolio.
