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.

ThinkReservations

  • No pricing is published anywhere, so you cannot compare it against Cloudbeds or Little Hotelier without first sitting through a sales call and extracting a quote.
  • The product is built for North American operations, so European tax handling, guest registration requirements and local OTA mix are not supported and it is effectively unsellable outside the region.
  • There is no revenue management or dynamic pricing, so rates rely on manual seasonal and day of week rules that go stale unless someone actively maintains them.
  • Payment processing is bundled, which is convenient but means the effective card rate is negotiated inside a software deal rather than shopped separately, and operators rarely check it against a standalone merchant account.
  • There is no native point of sale, spa or restaurant module, so an inn with a dining room runs a second system and reconciles revenue by hand.

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.

ThinkReservations: How much does ThinkReservations cost?

It is not published. Pricing is quoted per property, generally scaled by room count, after a sales conversation.

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.

ThinkReservations: Is the channel manager an extra subscription?

No. OTA connectivity is part of the platform rather than a separately priced module, which is the main saving against a PMS plus channel manager pairing.

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.

ThinkReservations: Does it work outside the United States?

In practice no. Tax, payments and support are built around North America.

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.

ThinkReservations: Can it handle more than one property?

Yes, small portfolios are supported, but it is designed for a handful of properties rather than dozens.
