The short version

  • Only Sirvoy has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Corporate Traveller service quality depends heavily on the individual consultant assigned, and a consultant leaving is a real disruption because the relationship rather than the software carries the institutional knowledge.; Sirvoy the channel manager is only on the Pro plan, so the Starter plan at €11 cannot connect to Booking.com and many buyers discover this after committing to a workflow.
  • They diverge on capability: Corporate Traveller covers Melon booking platform, Sirvoy covers Commission-free booking engine.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 1 September 2026.

Where each one falls short

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

Corporate Traveller

  • Service quality depends heavily on the individual consultant assigned, and a consultant leaving is a real disruption because the relationship rather than the software carries the institutional knowledge.
  • Agency revenue includes supplier commissions and overrides that are not disclosed to the client, so the cheapest option for you and the most profitable option for the agency are not always the same booking.
  • Melon is competent but narrower than TravelPerk or Navan on self-service features, and companies that genuinely want no human involvement will resent paying for one.
  • Consultant-assisted bookings carry meaningfully higher fees than online ones, and the fee mix is where an apparently cheap contract turns expensive.
  • It operates through separate country entities with different content, contracts and service hours, so a multi-country roll-out is several negotiations rather than one.

Sirvoy

  • The channel manager is only on the Pro plan, so the Starter plan at €11 cannot connect to Booking.com and many buyers discover this after committing to a workflow.
  • Each additional property costs €20 per month on top of Pro, and the multi-property view is weak, so small chains end up with several loosely linked accounts rather than one portfolio.
  • There is no revenue management or dynamic pricing, so rates must be set and adjusted by hand or through a third-party tool that Sirvoy may not integrate with.
  • Reporting is limited to basic occupancy and revenue summaries, which is not enough for a lender, an investor or a serious year on year analysis.
  • SMS is charged per message on top of the subscription, and at €0.10 per message on Starter a property sending pre-arrival and post-stay texts to a hundred bookings a month adds a meaningful and variable cost.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Corporate Traveller: Can I buy Melon without the consultant service?

No. Melon is sold as part of the managed Corporate Traveller service, not as standalone software.

Sirvoy: Does the cheapest paid plan connect to Booking.com?

No. Channel management starts on the Pro plan, at roughly four times the Starter price.

Corporate Traveller: Who owns it?

Flight Centre Travel Group, listed in Australia. Corporate Traveller is its SME brand, distinct from FCM which serves large enterprises.

Sirvoy: Does Sirvoy take commission on direct bookings?

No. Direct bookings through its engine carry no Sirvoy commission, which is the main financial argument for adopting it.

Corporate Traveller: Does it disclose supplier commissions?

Not by default. If commission transparency matters, ask for it explicitly in the contract before signing.

Sirvoy: Is there a contract?

No written contract and no setup fee. Billing is monthly or annual, with about 8% off for paying yearly.

Sirvoy: What is the practical size limit?

It works well up to roughly thirty rooms. Beyond that the lack of revenue management and group handling starts to bite.
