The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Amadeus Selling Platform Connect the desktop is inseparable from the Amadeus GDS agreement, so the software cannot be evaluated or bought on its own merits and switching means changing content supplier, incentive income and consultant training at once.; Hotelogix the advertised per-room rate covers the PMS only; the channel manager and accounting connector are separate per-room subscriptions with their own monthly minimums, so a small hotel budgeting from the headline number will underestimate the bill.
  • They diverge on capability: Amadeus Selling Platform Connect covers Graphical PNR management, Hotelogix covers Front desk grid.
  • 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.

Amadeus Selling Platform Connect

  • The desktop is inseparable from the Amadeus GDS agreement, so the software cannot be evaluated or bought on its own merits and switching means changing content supplier, incentive income and consultant training at once.
  • Segment incentive agreements carry minimum volume commitments, and agencies that shift traffic to direct airline NDC links or a second GDS can trigger shortfall clawbacks that dwarf any software saving.
  • The graphical layer does not cover every function, so experienced agents still drop into cryptic entries for reissues, complex fare builds and queue work, which keeps the training burden high for new hires.
  • NDC content sits alongside legacy EDIFACT content rather than replacing it, so agents face two ways of booking the same airline with different servicing rules, and post booking changes on NDC orders are more limited.
  • It is a per agent desktop with no meaningful self service layer, so corporates cannot let travellers book directly and agencies must staff every transaction, which caps productivity in low value leisure bookings.

Hotelogix

  • The advertised per-room rate covers the PMS only; the channel manager and accounting connector are separate per-room subscriptions with their own monthly minimums, so a small hotel budgeting from the headline number will underestimate the bill.
  • Each additional third-party interface, such as a door lock or a payment terminal, is billed as its own monthly fee, which makes an integrated stack expensive to assemble at a property that wants several connections.
  • Multi-property and enterprise pricing is not published, so a growing group cannot compare Hotelogix against alternatives without entering a sales process.
  • The user interface is dated next to Mews or Cloudbeds, and staff coming from a modern consumer app typically need more training time on the tape chart and folio screens.
  • Support quality varies by region and depends heavily on the local reseller rather than on the vendor directly, so response times in markets without a partner presence are inconsistent.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Amadeus Selling Platform Connect: Can a corporate buy Selling Platform Connect directly?

Practically no. It is sold to accredited travel agencies and airline ticket offices as part of an Amadeus GDS agreement. Corporates buy a self booking tool such as Cytric or a TMC service instead.

Hotelogix: What does Hotelogix actually cost for a thirty-room hotel?

The core PMS at the entry tier is around 240 US dollars a month at 7.99 per room, but adding the channel manager at about 1 dollar per room with a 25 dollar floor and any interface fees typically pushes the real figure past 300 dollars.

Amadeus Selling Platform Connect: Does it cost a per user licence fee?

Not usually. The commercial model is segment incentives paid to the agency against volume commitments, so the negotiation is about incentive rates and minimum segments, not seat price.

Hotelogix: Is the channel manager included?

No. Distribution is a paid add-on charged per room per month on top of whichever PMS tier you are on.

Amadeus Selling Platform Connect: Does it support NDC?

Yes, airline NDC offers are retrieved through Amadeus Travel API and shown alongside EDIFACT content, but servicing rules for NDC orders differ and not every airline exposes the same change and refund functions.

Hotelogix: Does Hotelogix take commission on direct bookings?

No. The booking engine does not charge a per-reservation commission; you pay only the subscription and your own payment processing.

Hotelogix: Is it suitable for a hotel group?

It has a multi-property dashboard, but group pricing is quoted rather than published and larger chains generally shortlist Opera or Mews instead.
