  • Each has a real cost: Skyscanner because Skyscanner is not the merchant of record for most bookings, customer service, cancellations and fare accuracy responsibility sit with whichever partner site the traveller is referred to, not with Skyscanner itself.; WebRezPro no pricing is published at all, so evaluating WebRezPro means a sales conversation before you can compare it against Cloudbeds or Little Hotelier on cost.
  • They diverge on capability: Skyscanner covers Flight price comparison, WebRezPro covers Mixed inventory types.
  • 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.

Skyscanner

  • Because Skyscanner is not the merchant of record for most bookings, customer service, cancellations and fare accuracy responsibility sit with whichever partner site the traveller is referred to, not with Skyscanner itself.
  • Prices shown in comparison results can occasionally be inaccurate or unavailable by the time the traveller reaches the partner site, since prices are pulled from partner feeds that update on their own schedule.
  • Booking through a smaller, unfamiliar third-party travel agent surfaced in comparison results carries more risk around customer service quality and fare rules than booking directly with an airline or a well-known agency.
  • The referral fee business model can create an incentive to surface partners paying higher commission prominently, and Skyscanner does not publish which listed results are influenced by commission versus pure price ranking.
  • The newer direct booking option covers only some flights, so most bookings still route the traveller through a third-party partner site, meaning the core experience remains a redirect rather than a self-contained transaction.

WebRezPro

  • No pricing is published at all, so evaluating WebRezPro means a sales conversation before you can compare it against Cloudbeds or Little Hotelier on cost.
  • The interface is dense and dated, and staff used to modern consumer software typically need structured training rather than picking it up on shift.
  • There is no meaningful native mobile app for staff, so housekeeping and maintenance workflows are done through a browser on a phone rather than a purpose-built app.
  • The third-party integration ecosystem is small, and requests for connections outside the existing list usually mean a custom development quote rather than a marketplace toggle.
  • Revenue management is limited to rate rules and yield triggers rather than genuine demand forecasting, so properties that want dynamic pricing need to add PriceLabs or RoomPriceGenie separately.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Skyscanner: Does Skyscanner sell the ticket or hotel room?

For most results, no. It compares prices and refers the traveller to the airline, agent or hotel site to complete the actual booking and payment; it has recently added direct booking for some flights only.

WebRezPro: How much does WebRezPro cost?

It is quoted, not published. The model is per unit per month with a monthly minimum, and the per-unit rate differs for hotel rooms, hostel beds and campsites.

Skyscanner: How does Skyscanner make money if it is free to use?

It earns referral or affiliate fees from airlines, travel agents and hotel booking sites when a comparison click leads to a completed booking on their site.

WebRezPro: Does it charge commission on direct bookings?

No. The booking engine is commission-free; you pay the subscription and your own card processing rates.

Skyscanner: Is Skyscanner the same kind of company as Booking.com or Expedia?

No. Those are merchants of record that process payment and hold the booking directly, earning commission or package margin. Skyscanner is a metasearch comparison layer that mostly refers travellers elsewhere to book.

WebRezPro: Can it run a campground and a hotel together?

Yes. Mixed inventory in one property is one of the reasons operators choose it over a rooms-only PMS.

WebRezPro: Is there an open API?

There is an API for partner integrations, but it is not self-service in the way Mews or Apaleo publish theirs, and access is arranged through the vendor.
