The short version

Each has a real cost: Opera PMS integration is billed rather than open, so every connected system carries a per-property interface fee that inflates the running cost well beyond the quoted subscription.; Revinate pricing is not published and is quoted per property scaled by room count with a monthly floor, so small properties often find the minimum higher than the campaign revenue they can realistically generate.
They diverge on capability: Opera PMS covers Reservations and front desk, Revinate covers Guest profile resolution.

Where each one falls short

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

Opera PMS

Integration is billed rather than open, so every connected system carries a per-property interface fee that inflates the running cost well beyond the quoted subscription.
Implementation typically requires an Oracle partner and runs for months, which puts a property opening timeline at the mercy of partner availability.
Configuration is dense enough that properties rely on one or two trained staff, and losing that person leaves rate and package changes stuck in a support queue.
The older OPERA 5 estate is on a migration path to OPERA Cloud, so on-premise customers face a forced project on a timetable set by Oracle rather than by their own budget cycle.
Small independent properties pay for group, catering and multi-property machinery they will never use, and lighter systems deliver a working front desk in days rather than months.

Revinate

Pricing is not published and is quoted per property scaled by room count with a monthly floor, so small properties often find the minimum higher than the campaign revenue they can realistically generate.
Value depends on database size and quality; a hotel with a few thousand contacts and mostly OTA business will not recover the licence cost through email revenue.
The platform is sold as several products including marketing, messaging and reservation sales, so the quoted figure often covers less than a buyer assumes and the full stack costs considerably more.
Profile resolution quality depends on how the PMS was operated, and a property with poor data capture at check-in gets a cleaner database that is still missing email addresses for most guests.
It is hotel-specific, so a group with mixed accommodation including serviced apartments or vacation rentals will find parts of the model and integrations do not fit those units.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Opera PMS: Is OPERA Cloud the same product as OPERA 5?

No. They share a name and much of the data model, but OPERA Cloud is a separate multi-tenant application. Moving between them is a migration project, not an upgrade.

Revinate: What does Revinate cost?

It is not published. Expect a per property monthly figure scaled by room count with a minimum, and confirm which products are inside that number.

Opera PMS: Why do integration partners charge a monthly fee per hotel?

Because Oracle charges them for certification and API usage through OHIP. Partners pass that on, so budget for it per connected system per property.

Revinate: Does it replace my email tool?

Yes for guest marketing, because it is built on merged PMS profiles rather than a contact list you upload.

Opera PMS: Can a single independent hotel buy OPERA?

Yes, but the economics rarely work below roughly 100 rooms unless a brand agreement requires it.

Revinate: Will it work with a small database?

Poorly. The economics depend on having enough guest records with usable email addresses to generate attributable revenue.

Opera PMS: How long does implementation take?

Plan for three to six months for a single complex property, longer for a multi-property rollout.

Revinate: Is Ivy included?

Not necessarily. Messaging is priced separately from the marketing platform; confirm in writing.
