More PMS reviews
- AirHost
AirHost is a Japan/Singapore‑based all‑in‑one hospitality platform that combines PMS, channel manager, booking engine, contactless check‑in, smart‑lock automation and messaging into one cloud system for hotels and vacation rentals. It centralizes OTAs (Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo, Agoda, Expedia etc.), automates room assignment, payments and 10+ triggered messages per booking, and supports IoT locks and self check‑in kiosks. Pricing is quote‑based through AirHost ONE HMS plans, but Capterra lists paid plans starting around US$200/month with no free version or trial, making it best for professional operators rather than casual hosts.
- Guestflow
Guestflow is an automation and collaboration layer for short-stay businesses that unifies ops, guest messaging, tasking and a guest experience app on one platform. It plugs into your PMS/channel manager (e.g., Beds24, Tokeet, Hostfully) and connects email, SMS, WhatsApp and webhooks so you can design custom workflows for booking confirmations, check-in instructions, upsells, team notifications and review requests. Tiered per-unit pricing ranges from £10/unit for 1–10 units down to £2/unit (~$2.67) for 300+ units, with bulk discounts up to 80%. Strong for PMs that want flexible automation and a central hub rather than yet another standalone AI inbox.
