The short version

  • 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.; Shiji chinese ownership and a Shenzhen listing raise data residency and supply chain questions that must be settled during procurement, and in United States government or defence-adjacent accounts they can end the evaluation outright.
  • They diverge on capability: RoomPriceGenie covers Automated rate setting, Shiji covers Daylight PMS.
  • 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.

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.

Shiji

  • Chinese ownership and a Shenzhen listing raise data residency and supply chain questions that must be settled during procurement, and in United States government or defence-adjacent accounts they can end the evaluation outright.
  • Pricing is entirely quoted with no published figures at any product level, so comparing Shiji against Oracle or Mews on cost requires a full sales engagement.
  • The portfolio is partly assembled from acquisitions, and the degree of integration between products varies, so a group buying several Shiji modules should test the joins rather than assume them.
  • Implementation timelines at enterprise scale run to many months and require interface development that is charged on top of licence, which is a substantial hidden budget line.
  • It is not a realistic option below roughly the mid-scale group level; a single independent hotel will not get sensible pricing or attention.

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.

Shiji: What do you actually buy from Shiji?

Most commonly Daylight PMS, Infrasys point of sale, or both, plus payments. The group name covers a wider portfolio than any one hotel purchases.

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.

Shiji: Does Chinese ownership matter?

It can. For United States government-adjacent business and some corporate accounts it triggers data residency and supply chain review, so raise it at the start of procurement rather than at contract stage.

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.

Shiji: Is Shiji an alternative to Oracle Hospitality?

Yes, and that is largely its positioning at the enterprise end, particularly in international luxury groups where Infrasys already has deployment.

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.

Shiji: Can a single hotel buy it?

In principle, but the commercial model, implementation cost and support structure assume a group, and small properties are better served elsewhere.
