The short version

  • Each has a real cost: 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.; Shiji chinese ownership and a Shenzhen listing raise data residency and supply chain questions that must be settled during procurement, and in United States government or defence-adjacent accounts they can end the evaluation outright.
  • They diverge on capability: Hotelogix covers Front desk grid, Shiji covers Daylight PMS.
  • 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.

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.

Shiji

  • Chinese ownership and a Shenzhen listing raise data residency and supply chain questions that must be settled during procurement, and in United States government or defence-adjacent accounts they can end the evaluation outright.
  • Pricing is entirely quoted with no published figures at any product level, so comparing Shiji against Oracle or Mews on cost requires a full sales engagement.
  • The portfolio is partly assembled from acquisitions, and the degree of integration between products varies, so a group buying several Shiji modules should test the joins rather than assume them.
  • Implementation timelines at enterprise scale run to many months and require interface development that is charged on top of licence, which is a substantial hidden budget line.
  • It is not a realistic option below roughly the mid-scale group level; a single independent hotel will not get sensible pricing or attention.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

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.

Shiji: What do you actually buy from Shiji?

Most commonly Daylight PMS, Infrasys point of sale, or both, plus payments. The group name covers a wider portfolio than any one hotel purchases.

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.

Shiji: Does Chinese ownership matter?

It can. For United States government-adjacent business and some corporate accounts it triggers data residency and supply chain review, so raise it at the start of procurement rather than at contract stage.

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.

Shiji: Is Shiji an alternative to Oracle Hospitality?

Yes, and that is largely its positioning at the enterprise end, particularly in international luxury groups where Infrasys already has deployment.

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.

Shiji: Can a single hotel buy it?

In principle, but the commercial model, implementation cost and support structure assume a group, and small properties are better served elsewhere.
