The short version

  • Only Roomsy has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: 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.; Tokeet the published entry price covers ten rentals, so a host with one or two properties pays a manager-sized fee and Tokeet is not economic below roughly five units.
  • They diverge on capability: Roomsy covers Booking calendar, Tokeet covers Reservation manager.
  • 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.

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.

Tokeet

  • The published entry price covers ten rentals, so a host with one or two properties pays a manager-sized fee and Tokeet is not economic below roughly five units.
  • The suite is assembled from separately built applications, so navigation, terminology and data handling differ between Automata, Rategenie and the core product and staff need training on each.
  • Add-on apps mean the base subscription understates running cost, and a realistic quote requires listing which apps you will enable before comparing against an all-in competitor.
  • Support is largely ticket and knowledge base driven with limited hands-on onboarding at the entry tier, which is a problem given how much configuration the automation layer needs.
  • Accounting is limited to cost tracking and owner statements rather than full trust accounting, so managers in jurisdictions requiring segregated client funds still need external bookkeeping.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

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.

Tokeet: What does the entry price cover?

Ten rentals, at roughly $134.90 per month billed monthly. Pricing scales upward by rental count from there.

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.

Tokeet: Are the extra apps included?

Availability varies by promotion. Treat Automata, Rategenie and Signature as separately configured components and confirm what is bundled in writing before signing.

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.

Tokeet: Is there a free option?

There is a free tier and a 15 day trial, but the useful configuration for a manager sits on the paid plans.

Roomsy: Does Roomsy take commission on bookings?

No. You pay the subscription only.

Tokeet: Does it do trust accounting?

No. It offers owner statements and cost tracking, not segregated client fund accounting.
