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.
SiteMinder
- Quote-only pricing scaled by rooms and channels, so comparison requires a sales conversation
- A channel manager only, so a property management system is still needed alongside it
- Sync depends on the OTAs at the other end, and their API changes and outages present as your problem
- Setup and channel mapping is more involved than the marketing suggests

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.
SiteMinder: What does SiteMinder cost?
It quotes per property based on rooms and channels and does not publish standard rates.
Clock PMS+: Is there a setup fee?
Yes, onboarding runs roughly 1,650 to 3,900 euros depending on plan.
SiteMinder: What does a channel manager actually do?
It keeps rates and availability in step across every booking site, so a room sold on one channel is immediately closed on the others. Without it, double bookings are inevitable.
Clock PMS+: Is the channel manager included?
No. OTA connections come through RoomCloud at 10 euros per channel per month, up to ten channels.
SiteMinder: Is it a full property management system?
No. It handles distribution; reservations, housekeeping and billing still need a PMS.
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.
