The short version

  • Only Sirvoy has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Enso Connect the roughly five per cent commission on upsell revenue means the better the product works the more it costs, and a portfolio generating meaningful ancillary revenue pays far more than the per-listing headline suggests.; 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: Enso Connect covers Digital check-in, Sirvoy covers Commission-free booking engine.
  • 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.

Enso Connect

  • The roughly five per cent commission on upsell revenue means the better the product works the more it costs, and a portfolio generating meaningful ancillary revenue pays far more than the per-listing headline suggests.
  • It requires a property management system underneath it, so it is always a second subscription and a second integration rather than a consolidation.
  • Small operators rarely reach the upsell volume that justifies the setup effort, and configuring conditional guest journeys properly is a project rather than an afternoon.
  • Guest data and messaging pass through another vendor, which adds a data protection assessment for European operators and another party to the breach surface.
  • Smart lock and PMS coverage is good for the mainstream products but thin outside them, so an operator on a less common lock brand or a regional PMS may find the automation does not reach their stack.

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

Enso Connect: Does Enso Connect replace my PMS?

No. It sits on top of Hostaway, Guesty or a similar platform and handles the guest-facing journey only.

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.

Enso Connect: How does the upsell commission work?

Enso Connect takes a percentage, around five per cent, of upsell revenue processed through the platform, on top of the per-listing subscription.

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.

Enso Connect: Is it worth it for five properties?

Usually not. The per-listing cost is low but the configuration effort and the upsell volume needed to see a return favour portfolios of twenty units and up.

Sirvoy: Is there a contract?

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

Enso Connect: Can it take deposits and verify guests on Airbnb bookings?

Yes, that is one of the main reasons operators add it, since Airbnb itself does not give hosts that control.

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.
