Every figure for another vendor comes from that vendor's own website, read on 11 November 2026; where a price isn't published, the page says so instead of guessing.

What Beds24 is and who it suits

Beds24 describes itself on its homepage as cloud-based software to manage bookings, channels, calendars, payments and guest communications, built as an all-in-one product for vacation rentals, hotels and property managers. It bundles a channel manager, a property-management system and an online booking engine under one account rather than selling them separately.

Its own pricing page says the software is customisable for vacation rentals, hotels, B&Bs, hostels, holiday homes, individual owners, agencies and professional property managers — a wide span of property types rather than one segment. Pricing is pay-as-you-go: a scalable base fee plus separate charges for channel links and optional extras, instead of fixed plan tiers you have to pick between.

If you're reading this page you're probably already running Beds24, or shortlisting it, and want to see its pricing model and channel setup next to a handful of other products — including Prime Host, the maker of this page — before you commit to anything.

When Beds24 is still the right choice

You manage several different property types on one account

Beds24 states its software works for vacation rentals, hotels, B&Bs, hostels and holiday homes from a single login, which suits a mixed portfolio that would otherwise need separate tools.

You want pay-as-you-go pricing with no plan tiers

Beds24's pricing page offers one scalable base fee rather than a menu of packages, and states there is no contract, no minimum term and no set-up fee to weigh against a monthly plan.

You only need a handful of channel connections

Because Beds24 prices channel links individually at €0.55 a month each rather than a flat channel-manager fee, a property on only one or two channels pays for exactly that, according to its pricing page.

A closer look at the alternatives

Cloudbeds

Cloudbeds describes itself as a unified hotel management platform for hospitality businesses of every size, from independent hotels to hotel groups. Its four plans — Flex, One, Experience and Enterprise — are quote-only; its channel manager states it connects directly to 450+ OTAs and adds zero commission of its own.

Lodgify

Lodgify is built for short-term rental hosts, from one property to 30+, with four plans running from $14 to $68 a month per property. Every plan carries a 0% booking fee; a 1% transaction fee applies only to guest payments taken online through a payment gateway such as Stripe or PayPal.

Sirvoy

Sirvoy covers hotels, B&Bs, guesthouses, hostels and vacation rentals with a PMS, channel manager, booking engine and website builder. Its Free plan is €0 for one room; Starter lists at €12/month and Pro at €44/month for one room on monthly billing, with 0% commission on every plan.

Smoobu

Smoobu markets itself as all-in-one software for vacation-rental management, from single apartments to large portfolios. Its pricing page defaults to one unit on 2-year billing: Professional Prepaid from €10.50/month and Teams Pro+ from €16.50/month, both commission-free, while Professional Flex carries a 0.9% booking commission.

Where Prime Host fits — and where it doesn't

So you can judge the fit honestly before you compare further.

What it is

A channel manager with a built-in reservation calendar and a direct booking engine, built for independent hotels, hostels, guesthouses and villas.
Public pricing from $59 per property per month on annual billing, calculated from your room count on its own pricing page, with no commission or per-booking fee.
Every price and availability update is read back from the channel to confirm it arrived.
A free trial and a public live demo that needs no sign-up, including a 500-room demo hotel.

Where it doesn't fit

If you manage a portfolio of separate vacation-rental listings rather than rooms inside one property, a rental-first tool such as Smoobu or Lodgify may match that day-to-day workflow more closely than Prime Host does.
Not a full front-desk PMS: there is no night audit, key-card integration or point of sale.
The booking engine cannot take card payments yet and handles one room per booking.
A newer product with a smaller customer base than Beds24 or the other established vendors on this page.

How to compare before you switch

1
List your current channels and fees
Write down every channel you sell on today and what you already pay in channel-manager fees and commission combined, so you have a real baseline to compare against.
2
Ask for your exact room or unit count price
Beds24's base fee and per-link charges, and Prime Host's per-room pricing, both scale with size — get the number for your own property, not the headline figure on the homepage.
3
Check how each one treats a mixed portfolio
If you run more than one type of property, confirm the vendor can genuinely combine them on one account rather than requiring separate subscriptions for each.
4
Try before you commit
Beds24 offers a 14-day free trial with no credit card required; Prime Host has a free trial and a public live demo that needs no sign-up at all.

None of this replaces reading the vendor's own current pricing page — figures change.

Frequently asked questions

Does Beds24 charge a booking commission?

No. Beds24's pricing page states it never charges commissions on bookings. Its charge is a scalable base monthly fee plus a per-channel-link fee, not a share of revenue.

What does Smoobu's advertised price actually cover?

Smoobu's pricing page shows the price for one unit on 2-year billing by default. Its Professional Prepaid plan lists at €10.50/month on that billing term, discounted from a €35/month base rate shown struck through on the page.

Is Cloudbeds a good fit for a single small hotel?

Cloudbeds says it serves hospitality businesses of every size, including independent hotels. Its pricing is quote-only, though, so you'd need to request a figure for your own room count before you can compare it on cost.

Does Prime Host charge a commission or booking fee?

No. Prime Host's pricing is a per-property amount plus a per-room amount, worked out on its public price calculator, with no commission or per-booking fee added on top.

I manage 15 separate vacation-rental listings — is Prime Host built for that?

Not primarily. Prime Host is built for independent hotels, hostels, guesthouses and villas run as a property with rooms. A rental-first tool such as Smoobu or Lodgify, built around separate listings, may fit a multi-listing portfolio better.
