The short version
- Only Sirvoy has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
- Each has a real cost: Little Hotelier the product is capped by design at small properties, so a hotel growing past roughly twenty rooms faces a migration rather than an upgrade, usually into SiteMinder plus a separate PMS.; Sirvoy the channel manager is only on the Pro plan, so the Starter plan at €11 cannot connect to Booking.com and many buyers discover this after committing to a workflow.
- They diverge on capability: Little Hotelier covers Simplified front desk, Sirvoy covers Commission-free booking engine.

Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.
Little Hotelier
- The product is capped by design at small properties, so a hotel growing past roughly twenty rooms faces a migration rather than an upgrade, usually into SiteMinder plus a separate PMS.
- Reporting is limited to basic occupancy and revenue summaries, which leaves owners exporting to a spreadsheet for anything an accountant or lender asks for.
- Rate and package logic is simple, so properties with seasonal packages, meal plans or complex tax handling end up adjusting rates manually.
- The non-distribution integration list is short, so accounting, door lock, POS or CRM tools outside the small supported set have to be handled by rekeying data.
- Pricing is banded by room count and paid monthly per property, so an operator with three small properties pays three subscriptions with no consolidated view worth the name.
Sirvoy
- The channel manager is only on the Pro plan, so the Starter plan at €11 cannot connect to Booking.com and many buyers discover this after committing to a workflow.
- Each additional property costs €20 per month on top of Pro, and the multi-property view is weak, so small chains end up with several loosely linked accounts rather than one portfolio.
- There is no revenue management or dynamic pricing, so rates must be set and adjusted by hand or through a third-party tool that Sirvoy may not integrate with.
- Reporting is limited to basic occupancy and revenue summaries, which is not enough for a lender, an investor or a serious year on year analysis.
- SMS is charged per message on top of the subscription, and at €0.10 per message on Starter a property sending pre-arrival and post-stay texts to a hundred bookings a month adds a meaningful and variable cost.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages
Little Hotelier: Who owns Little Hotelier?
SiteMinder. It is the small property product line of the same company that sells the SiteMinder channel manager.
Sirvoy: Does the cheapest paid plan connect to Booking.com?
No. Channel management starts on the Pro plan, at roughly four times the Starter price.
Little Hotelier: What happens when the property outgrows it?
Most operators move to a fuller PMS and keep SiteMinder for distribution. Expect a data migration rather than a plan change.
Sirvoy: Does Sirvoy take commission on direct bookings?
No. Direct bookings through its engine carry no Sirvoy commission, which is the main financial argument for adopting it.
Little Hotelier: Does it include a channel manager?
Yes, built on the SiteMinder network, which is the main reason to choose it over other small property tools.
Sirvoy: Is there a contract?
No written contract and no setup fee. Billing is monthly or annual, with about 8% off for paying yearly.
Little Hotelier: Can one login manage several properties?
Each property is a separate subscription and the multi-property view is thin, so operators of more than two or three properties usually look elsewhere.
Sirvoy: What is the practical size limit?
It works well up to roughly thirty rooms. Beyond that the lack of revenue management and group handling starts to bite.
