The short version

Only Roomsy has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
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.; Roomsy every tier has a monthly floor, so a twelve room property on Essential pays $80 rather than $48 and the advertised per room rate is only real above the break-even room count.
They diverge on capability: Redeam covers Reseller connectivity, Roomsy covers Booking calendar.

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.

Roomsy

Every tier has a monthly floor, so a twelve room property on Essential pays $80 rather than $48 and the advertised per room rate is only real above the break-even room count.
Channel management is not on the free or Starter tiers, so the cheapest paid plan cannot connect to Booking.com and buyers regularly select it and then have to upgrade.
Some OTA connections are routed through SiteMinder rather than built directly, which introduces a third party into your distribution and a second place for a sync failure to occur.
There is no revenue management or dynamic pricing, so rates are manual and go stale unless someone maintains seasonal rules by hand.
There is no native point of sale or food and beverage module, so a property with a bar or restaurant runs a separate till and reconciles revenue outside the system.

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.

Roomsy: What does a thirty room hotel pay?

$120 a month on Essential, which is above the $80 floor. Below twenty rooms you pay the floor instead of the per room rate.

Redeam: What does it cost?

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

Roomsy: Which plan includes the channel manager?

Essential at $4 per room per month with an $80 minimum. Free and Starter do not include it.

Redeam: Do I still need a booking platform?

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

Roomsy: Is the free plan usable?

For a booking calendar, invoicing and a direct booking engine, yes. Without OTA connections most properties will outgrow it quickly.

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.

Roomsy: Does Roomsy take commission on bookings?

No. You pay the subscription only.
