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.; TrustYou pricing is not published at any tier, so a single hotel cannot compare it against cheaper reputation tools without entering a sales process.
  • They diverge on capability: Redeam covers Reseller connectivity, TrustYou covers Review aggregation.
  • 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.

TrustYou

  • Pricing is not published at any tier, so a single hotel cannot compare it against cheaper reputation tools without entering a sales process.
  • Review syncing is not instant, and delays between a review appearing publicly and appearing in the dashboard undermine the case for using it as an operational alert system.
  • Reporting is inflexible next to a general analytics tool, and groups that want a custom cut of the data often export it rather than build the view inside TrustYou.
  • The newer customer data platform modules overlap heavily with functionality in modern property management systems and hotel CRMs, so buyers risk paying twice for guest profile unification.
  • Much of the underlying review data is now retrievable free through Google Business Profile and OTA extranets, which makes the value proposition rest entirely on analysis and workflow rather than access.

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.

TrustYou: How much does TrustYou cost?

It is quoted. Historical directory listings mention entry figures around 75 US dollars a month for a small property, but the vendor does not publish a rate card and group pricing is negotiated.

Redeam: What does it cost?

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

TrustYou: Does it respond to reviews for me?

It drafts responses and publishes them back to source channels, but a human still approves them unless you configure otherwise.

Redeam: Do I still need a booking platform?

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

TrustYou: Is the score syndication worth it?

It is one of the more defensible parts of the product, because showing verified review content on a direct booking page counters the social proof advantage OTAs hold.

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.

TrustYou: Do I need it if I use Google Business Profile?

Google gives you your own reviews free. TrustYou adds cross-source aggregation, competitor benchmarking and category-level sentiment, which is the part you are paying for.
