The short version

  • Each has a real cost: 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.; 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: Redeam covers Reseller connectivity, Revinate covers Guest profile resolution.
  • 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.

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.

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

Redeam: Is Redeam a booking system?

No. It is connectivity, redemption and reconciliation between your reservation system and your resellers.

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.

Redeam: What does it cost?

Not published. Expect quoting by transaction volume or number of connections.

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.

Redeam: Do I still need a booking platform?

Yes. Redeam sits alongside FareHarbor, Bokun or your own system rather than replacing 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.

Redeam: Does it handle offline resellers?

Yes, including pre-issued and paper vouchers from tour desks and agencies, which is the main reason operators buy it.

Revinate: Is Ivy included?

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