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.; Wheelhouse the two plans cross over at roughly $2,000 of monthly booking revenue per listing, and Wheelhouse does not flag which plan is cheaper for you, so most users are on the wrong one.
  • They diverge on capability: Hotelogix covers Front desk grid, Wheelhouse covers Dynamic nightly pricing.
  • 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.

Wheelhouse

  • The two plans cross over at roughly $2,000 of monthly booking revenue per listing, and Wheelhouse does not flag which plan is cheaper for you, so most users are on the wrong one.
  • Dynamic Sets, the tool for defining accurate comparable sets, is charged separately at $12.99 per set per month, so genuinely good market analysis costs more than the pricing engine itself.
  • Data quality depends on local listing density, and in thin or rural markets the recommendations become unreliable because there are too few comparables to model against.
  • Rate pushes depend on channel and PMS connections, and a lag or failed sync means a stale price sits live on the OTA with no obvious alert to the operator.
  • The strategy controls that make it attractive to professionals also mean the tool underperforms if left on defaults, so an operator who wanted to set and forget will not get the benefit they paid for.

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.

Wheelhouse: Which plan should I be on?

Flat below about $2,000 of monthly revenue per listing is the more expensive option; above that Flat is cheaper. Compare 1% of your actual monthly booking revenue against $19.99.

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.

Wheelhouse: Does it push prices to Airbnb directly?

Yes, and to Vrbo, plus through connected property management systems.

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.

Wheelhouse: Is there a free option?

You can create an account and see market reports without paying, but rate automation requires a paid plan.

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.

Wheelhouse: Is there a contract?

No lock-in. Flex is billed at reservation time and refunded if the booking cancels.
