Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Mews

No pricing published on pricing page; specific per-room or per-property costs require requesting a quote
Exact implementation fee structure not disclosed
Revenue Management System (RMS) and Point of Sale (POS) add-on costs not specified

Redeam

Pricing is not published, so budgeting requires a sales process and there is no way to sanity check the quote against a market rate.
It is not a booking engine, so you still pay for a reservation system alongside it and Redeam is an additional line rather than a replacement.
The value is proportional to the number of reseller relationships you have, so an operator with two OTA connections gains nothing over the channel manager in their existing platform.
Onboarding involves integrating both your reservation system and each partner, which is a project with dependencies on third parties you do not control.
The vendor is small relative to the OTAs it connects to, which means limited leverage when a major channel changes its API and connections need rework.
