IDeaS pricing
IDeaS publishes a single tier. Below is what it costs, what it covers, and how that compares with the travel tools listed alongside it.
As of 31 August 2026, IDeaS pricing is on request. Figures are the vendor's list prices as recorded on this page's last check; the vendor's site is the final word.

IDeaS plans, side by side
Every published tier in ascending order of price, with the number of features each one lists. An absence here means the record does not itemise it, not that the tier lacks it.
| Plan | Price | Features listed | Step up from the tier below |
|---|---|---|---|
| IDeaS G3 RMS | On request | 5 | Entry tier |
What the product covers
The full IDeaS feature record, grouped as the catalogue groups it. This is the product as a whole; the record does not map every feature onto a specific tier.
Other
- Segment-level forecasting
- Group displacement analysis
- Length of stay controls
- Room type optimisation
- Total revenue view
- Two-way system integration
- Portfolio management
- Automated pricing decisions
People bring IDeaS in for a casino resort deciding whether a convention group displaces more transient revenue than it produces, a hotel group standardising forecasting method across dozens of properties, a city hotel with complex corporate, wholesale and transient segmentation that simple tools cannot separate, a resort optimising length-of-stay controls around peak arrival patterns rather than pricing flat. If that is not the job you are buying for, the alternatives to IDeaS are worth a look before you commit to a tier.
How that compares in Travel
Too few travel tools in this directory publish a starting price to quote a meaningful median, so the table below is a like-for-like list rather than a ranking.
| Tool | Entry price | Model | Rated | Head to head |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| IDeaS (this page) | On request | quote | - | |
| myCWT | On request | quote | - | vs IDeaS |
| Didi | Free | Free app, pay per ride with dynamic pricing | - | vs IDeaS |
| Expedia | Free | Free for travellers, commission and package margin | - | vs IDeaS |

Ratings are aggregated from third-party sources and imported with each catalogue entry, they are not reviews hosted on Softwr. How each figure is used is set out on the IDeaS badges page.
Before you pay for IDeaS
Three things this page cannot tell you, and all three change the bill. The record carries a price and a billing period but not the unit - per-seat and flat-rate pricing are indistinguishable in this data, so a five-person team may be looking at five times the figure above. It carries no annual rate, so any discount for paying yearly is not something this page can quote. And it carries no trial length.
What it can tell you is the shape of the ladder: a single tier at On request. With no free tier on record, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to compare IDeaS against the tools that do have one before committing.
IDeaS runs on web, and is published by IDeaS, a SAS company of Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States. The full record is on the IDeaS review, and the rest of the category is under best travel tools.
