The short version

  • 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.; Tokeet the published entry price covers ten rentals, so a host with one or two properties pays a manager-sized fee and Tokeet is not economic below roughly five units.
  • They diverge on capability: Little Hotelier covers Simplified front desk, Tokeet covers Reservation manager.
  • 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.

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.

Tokeet

  • The published entry price covers ten rentals, so a host with one or two properties pays a manager-sized fee and Tokeet is not economic below roughly five units.
  • The suite is assembled from separately built applications, so navigation, terminology and data handling differ between Automata, Rategenie and the core product and staff need training on each.
  • Add-on apps mean the base subscription understates running cost, and a realistic quote requires listing which apps you will enable before comparing against an all-in competitor.
  • Support is largely ticket and knowledge base driven with limited hands-on onboarding at the entry tier, which is a problem given how much configuration the automation layer needs.
  • Accounting is limited to cost tracking and owner statements rather than full trust accounting, so managers in jurisdictions requiring segregated client funds still need external bookkeeping.

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.

Tokeet: What does the entry price cover?

Ten rentals, at roughly $134.90 per month billed monthly. Pricing scales upward by rental count from there.

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.

Tokeet: Are the extra apps included?

Availability varies by promotion. Treat Automata, Rategenie and Signature as separately configured components and confirm what is bundled in writing before signing.

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.

Tokeet: Is there a free option?

There is a free tier and a 15 day trial, but the useful configuration for a manager sits on the paid plans.

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.

Tokeet: Does it do trust accounting?

No. It offers owner statements and cost tracking, not segregated client fund accounting.
