Where each one falls short

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

Duetto

  • Nothing is published on price, and deals are typically annual per property licences on multi-year terms, so the real commitment is only visible after several sales meetings.
  • Implementation is a project involving data cleansing, PMS integration and configuration, and properties routinely take months to reach useful output, during which the licence is already being paid.
  • The system requires a trained revenue manager to interpret and act on recommendations; a hotel without that function will not get value and would be better served by a rules-based tool.
  • Value depends on clean historical and segmentation data from the PMS, and properties with inconsistent rate coding or short history get weaker forecasts with no easy remedy.
  • It is priced and scoped for upper-midscale and above, so independent hotels under about a hundred rooms are typically outside the economic range regardless of how sophisticated their pricing needs are.

FareHarbor

  • The roughly 6% booking fee is added to the price your customer sees, so your headline price appears higher than a competitor absorbing their software cost, which is a direct disadvantage when guests price-compare.
  • With card processing on top, the effective cost is commonly 9 to 11% of booking value, so a high-volume operator pays far more over a year than a flat subscription would cost.
  • There is no published rate card, so the fee you are quoted depends on the deal you negotiate and you cannot compare terms without going through onboarding.
  • FareHarbor is owned by Booking Holdings, so your reservation system, your customer data and your availability sit inside the group that owns the largest OTA competing for your direct bookings.
  • Because pricing is transactional, switching away is expensive in effort rather than money and operators tend to stay past the point where a subscription product would be cheaper.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Duetto: How much does Duetto cost?

Not published. Expect a per property annual licence scaled by room count, plus implementation, on a multi-year contract.

FareHarbor: What does FareHarbor cost?

No subscription. Around 6% is added to the customer checkout price, plus card processing, giving roughly 9 to 11% of booking value in total.

Duetto: What is open pricing?

Yielding each segment, channel and room type independently rather than moving one best available rate and deriving everything else from it.

FareHarbor: Who pays the booking fee?

By default the customer, shown at checkout. Operators can choose to absorb it into their own price instead.

Duetto: Is it worth it for a small independent hotel?

Usually not. Below roughly a hundred rooms, and without a dedicated revenue manager, a simpler rules-based pricing tool is a better fit.

FareHarbor: Who owns FareHarbor?

Booking Holdings, the parent of Booking.com, Priceline and Kayak.

Duetto: How long does implementation take?

Months rather than weeks, driven mostly by PMS data quality and rate code cleanup.

FareHarbor: At what volume does a subscription tool become cheaper?

Broadly once annual bookings exceed a few hundred thousand in value, at which point 6% dwarfs a fixed monthly plan.
