Protel pricing
Protel 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, Protel 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.

Protel 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.

What the product covers
The full Protel 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
- Front desk and reservations
- Conference and banqueting
- Cloud and on-premise editions
- Integrated payments
- Interface catalogue
- Multi-property operation
- Night audit and reporting
- Tax-free shopping links
People bring Protel in for a german or austrian hotel needing fiscal and tax compliance handled natively rather than bolted on, a property with substantial conference and banqueting business that a rooms-only pms cannot handle, an existing protel on-premise site deciding whether to move to the cloud edition or change vendor, a group wanting pms and card acquiring from one supplier under a single contract. If that is not the job you are buying for, the alternatives to Protel 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.

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 Protel badges page.
Before you pay for Protel
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 Protel against the tools that do have one before committing.
Protel runs on web, windows, ios, android, and is published by Planet (formerly protel hotelsoftware GmbH) of London, England, United Kingdom. The full record is on the Protel review, and the rest of the category is under best travel tools.
