Cloudbeds is hospitality's app store. Hotelia is the boutique platform that does only what boutique needs. If you want breadth, choose Cloudbeds. If you want clarity, keep reading.
Comparison based on public information as of June 2026. We will revise if either side changes the picture.
The dimensions a boutique owner-operator notices in week one, and again in month twelve.
Cloudbeds wins if your job is to wire together a hospitality stack. Hotelia wins if your job is to fill rooms tomorrow and keep tonight's guests happy.
An app marketplace with 400 plus integrations and partner connections. Powerful if you have the time and the team to evaluate and maintain them.
Stripe for payments, your website for distribution, the OTAs that matter for fill. Nothing else to wire up. Nothing else to forget to renew.
Cloudbeds and Hotelia both run commission-free booking engines. The real difference is what the invoice looks like. Cloudbeds is a custom-quoted contract that scales with tier and property size. Hotelia is one number, forever.
Custom pricing across Flex, One, Experience, and Enterprise tiers. Public estimates land between $200 and $1,000+ per month depending on property size, features, and negotiation. Every annual renewal is a new conversation.
Flat $149 per month plus $10 per unit. No annual re-negotiation, no tier upsell, no per-module add-on. Same price at 12 rooms as at 40 rooms.
Cloudbeds is built so a power user can shape it. Hotelia is built so an owner can ignore the software and run the hotel.
Modular and configurable. Modules, dashboards, channel manager, RMS connections, and a marketplace. Excellent in trained hands.
One screen. Today's arrivals, occupancy, revenue, and the two guests who need attention. Designed to be opened, not navigated.
Cloudbeds was overkill. I do not need four hundred integrations. I need rooms filled, direct, with no commission. That is what Hotelia does.
