The short version

  • Only Roomsy has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: RoomPriceGenie the flat per-property fee is a hard floor with no smaller tier, so a twelve-room property pays roughly seventeen euros per room per month, often more than its property management system costs.; 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: RoomPriceGenie covers Automated rate setting, 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.

RoomPriceGenie

  • The flat per-property fee is a hard floor with no smaller tier, so a twelve-room property pays roughly seventeen euros per room per month, often more than its property management system costs.
  • The model is deliberately simple and does not handle segmentation, group displacement or total revenue optimisation, so hotels with substantial conference or wholesale business will find it pricing only the transient shoulder.
  • Automation quality depends entirely on clean data from the PMS, and properties with inconsistent rate plans or room-type setups get poor recommendations until that is fixed, which is a project the vendor does not do for you.
  • Competitor rate shopping is weaker in dispersed rural markets where there is no meaningful comparable set to shop against.
  • Multi-property reporting sits only on the most expensive tier, so a two-property owner must pay 440 euros per property to see them together rather than logging into each separately.

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

RoomPriceGenie: How much does RoomPriceGenie cost?

Roughly 198 euros per property per month at the entry tier, 297 for Premium and 440 for the multi-property Professional tier, with about seventeen per cent off for annual payment.

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.

RoomPriceGenie: Is it worth it for a fifteen-room hotel?

That is the awkward size. The fee works out around thirteen euros per room per month, so the revenue uplift has to be real rather than assumed before it pays.

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.

RoomPriceGenie: Does it replace a revenue manager?

For a small independent with no analyst, largely yes. For a hotel with group and conference business it does not, because it does not model displacement.

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.

RoomPriceGenie: Can I keep manual control?

Yes. It can run in recommendation mode where prices are suggested and you approve them, rather than writing automatically to the PMS.

Roomsy: Does Roomsy take commission on bookings?

No. You pay the subscription only.
