The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Guesty quote-only pricing, typically scaled by listing count, so small operators find it expensive per unit; Revinate pricing is not published and is quoted per property scaled by room count with a monthly floor, so small properties often find the minimum higher than the campaign revenue they can realistically generate.
  • They diverge on capability: Guesty covers Multi-channel listings, Revinate covers Guest profile resolution.
  • 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.

Guesty

  • Quote-only pricing, typically scaled by listing count, so small operators find it expensive per unit
  • Aimed at professional managers rather than individuals with one or two listings
  • Channel sync depends on the booking platforms, whose API changes and outages surface as your problem
  • Breadth means individual modules are shallower than dedicated tools

Revinate

  • Pricing is not published and is quoted per property scaled by room count with a monthly floor, so small properties often find the minimum higher than the campaign revenue they can realistically generate.
  • Value depends on database size and quality; a hotel with a few thousand contacts and mostly OTA business will not recover the licence cost through email revenue.
  • The platform is sold as several products including marketing, messaging and reservation sales, so the quoted figure often covers less than a buyer assumes and the full stack costs considerably more.
  • Profile resolution quality depends on how the PMS was operated, and a property with poor data capture at check-in gets a cleaner database that is still missing email addresses for most guests.
  • It is hotel-specific, so a group with mixed accommodation including serviced apartments or vacation rentals will find parts of the model and integrations do not fit those units.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Guesty: What does Guesty cost?

Guesty quotes based on listing count and modules and does not publish standard rates.

Revinate: What does Revinate cost?

It is not published. Expect a per property monthly figure scaled by room count with a minimum, and confirm which products are inside that number.

Guesty: Is Guesty worth it for one property?

Generally not. It is built for professional managers with portfolios; individuals with one or two listings usually find the cost per unit hard to justify.

Revinate: Does it replace my email tool?

Yes for guest marketing, because it is built on merged PMS profiles rather than a contact list you upload.

Guesty: Which booking channels does it support?

Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com among others, synchronised from one inventory so a booking on one channel closes the dates everywhere.

Revinate: Will it work with a small database?

Poorly. The economics depend on having enough guest records with usable email addresses to generate attributable revenue.

Revinate: Is Ivy included?

Not necessarily. Messaging is priced separately from the marketing platform; confirm in writing.
