The short version

  • Only Roomsy has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: 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.; 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: Revinate covers Guest profile resolution, Roomsy covers Booking calendar.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 1 September 2026.

Where each one falls short

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Revinate: Is Ivy included?

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

Roomsy: Does Roomsy take commission on bookings?

No. You pay the subscription only.
