The short version

  • Only Expedia has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Expedia package deal pricing is not transparent, since Expedia negotiates bundled rates with airlines and hotels and adds its own margin, making it difficult for a traveller to verify whether a bundle is actually cheaper than booking the same components separately.; WebRezPro no pricing is published at all, so evaluating WebRezPro means a sales conversation before you can compare it against Cloudbeds or Little Hotelier on cost.
  • They diverge on capability: Expedia covers Flight and hotel packages, WebRezPro covers Mixed inventory types.
  • 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.

Expedia

  • Package deal pricing is not transparent, since Expedia negotiates bundled rates with airlines and hotels and adds its own margin, making it difficult for a traveller to verify whether a bundle is actually cheaper than booking the same components separately.
  • Hotel commission, typically in a 15 to 25 percent range similar to other online travel agencies, is built invisibly into displayed rates, so the same room can sometimes be found cheaper booking directly with the hotel.
  • Cancellation and change policies for package bookings can be more restrictive than booking each component separately, since changing one part of a bundle can affect the priced discount on the rest.
  • Customer service for package booking issues can require coordinating between Expedia and multiple underlying suppliers, airline and hotel, which adds complexity compared with a single-component booking.
  • One Key reward point value and redemption rules have changed as Expedia Group consolidated its previously separate loyalty programmes, so points earned under older programme structures required migration and are not always a like-for-like conversion.

WebRezPro

  • No pricing is published at all, so evaluating WebRezPro means a sales conversation before you can compare it against Cloudbeds or Little Hotelier on cost.
  • The interface is dense and dated, and staff used to modern consumer software typically need structured training rather than picking it up on shift.
  • There is no meaningful native mobile app for staff, so housekeeping and maintenance workflows are done through a browser on a phone rather than a purpose-built app.
  • The third-party integration ecosystem is small, and requests for connections outside the existing list usually mean a custom development quote rather than a marketplace toggle.
  • Revenue management is limited to rate rules and yield triggers rather than genuine demand forecasting, so properties that want dynamic pricing need to add PriceLabs or RoomPriceGenie separately.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Expedia: Is Expedia free to use?

Yes, for travellers there is no subscription or booking fee charged directly. Expedia earns money through hotel commission and margin built into package deals.

WebRezPro: How much does WebRezPro cost?

It is quoted, not published. The model is per unit per month with a monthly minimum, and the per-unit rate differs for hotel rooms, hostel beds and campsites.

Expedia: Is a flight and hotel package actually cheaper than booking separately?

Sometimes, but not reliably, since package pricing includes a margin on top of negotiated bundled rates; a traveller who wants to verify needs to price both approaches independently.

WebRezPro: Does it charge commission on direct bookings?

No. The booking engine is commission-free; you pay the subscription and your own card processing rates.

Expedia: What is One Key?

A loyalty rewards programme shared across Expedia, Hotels.com and Vrbo, allowing points earned on one brand to be used across the others.

WebRezPro: Can it run a campground and a hotel together?

Yes. Mixed inventory in one property is one of the reasons operators choose it over a rooms-only PMS.

WebRezPro: Is there an open API?

There is an API for partner integrations, but it is not self-service in the way Mews or Apaleo publish theirs, and access is arranged through the vendor.
