The short version

  • Only Roomsy has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • 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.; Roomsy every tier has a monthly floor, so a twelve room property on Essential pays $80 rather than $48 and the advertised per room rate is only real above the break-even room count.
  • They diverge on capability: Duetto covers Open pricing, Roomsy covers Booking calendar.
  • 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.

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.

Roomsy

  • Every tier has a monthly floor, so a twelve room property on Essential pays $80 rather than $48 and the advertised per room rate is only real above the break-even room count.
  • Channel management is not on the free or Starter tiers, so the cheapest paid plan cannot connect to Booking.com and buyers regularly select it and then have to upgrade.
  • Some OTA connections are routed through SiteMinder rather than built directly, which introduces a third party into your distribution and a second place for a sync failure to occur.
  • There is no revenue management or dynamic pricing, so rates are manual and go stale unless someone maintains seasonal rules by hand.
  • There is no native point of sale or food and beverage module, so a property with a bar or restaurant runs a separate till and reconciles revenue outside the system.

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.

Roomsy: What does a thirty room hotel pay?

$120 a month on Essential, which is above the $80 floor. Below twenty rooms you pay the floor instead of the per room rate.

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.

Roomsy: Which plan includes the channel manager?

Essential at $4 per room per month with an $80 minimum. Free and Starter do not include it.

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.

Roomsy: Is the free plan usable?

For a booking calendar, invoicing and a direct booking engine, yes. Without OTA connections most properties will outgrow it quickly.

Duetto: How long does implementation take?

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

Roomsy: Does Roomsy take commission on bookings?

No. You pay the subscription only.
