The short version

  • Each has a real cost: 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.; RoomRaccoon revenue and upselling functionality is gated behind higher tiers, so the advertised entry price is rarely what a property that wants automated pricing actually pays.
  • They diverge on capability: Duetto covers Open pricing, RoomRaccoon covers Property management.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 31 August 2026.

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.

RoomRaccoon

  • Revenue and upselling functionality is gated behind higher tiers, so the advertised entry price is rarely what a property that wants automated pricing actually pays.
  • The integration catalogue is short compared with the larger cloud platforms, and a property with an existing spa, POS or CRM preference may find no connector exists.
  • Multi-property management is workable but shallow, so a group beyond a handful of hotels will hit reporting and consolidated inventory limits.
  • Support hours follow European and South African time zones, which leaves properties in the Americas and Asia Pacific waiting overnight for anything beyond first-line help.
  • Because distribution, payments and the PMS come from one vendor, a fault or a price rise in any one of them cannot be answered by switching that component alone.

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.

RoomRaccoon: Does RoomRaccoon charge commission on direct bookings?

No. The booking engine is included in the subscription and direct reservations carry no commission, though card processing fees still apply.

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.

RoomRaccoon: Is it suitable for a hotel with 150 rooms?

It will run, but the product is designed around independents up to roughly 60 rooms and larger properties will find reporting and group handling thin.

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.

RoomRaccoon: Can it be used as a channel manager only?

Not really. The value is in the bundle, and buying it purely for distribution costs more than a dedicated channel manager.

Duetto: How long does implementation take?

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

RoomRaccoon: Which regions does it support best?

Europe first, then South Africa. Coverage in North America and Asia is lighter on local OTAs and payment methods.
