8 Cloudbeds Alternatives, Compared Honestly.
Cloudbeds sells a PMS, channel manager and booking engine to independent hotels, B&Bs, hostels, vacation rentals and hotel groups, built for nightly rooms. Everybooking starts one step earlier on a different deal: the group and event inquiry, priced as a real multi-line quote in about 4 seconds. Honest comparison below, including where Cloudbeds wins.
What Cloudbeds does well.
- Property management built for independent hotels, B&Bs, hostels, vacation rentals and hotel groups.
- A channel manager that keeps rates and availability in step across booking sites, included in the One and Experience plans.
- A booking engine for direct bookings, included in the One and Experience plans.
- Add-ons for revenue management, guest marketing, websites and reputation when you want one platform.
If your operating job is filling rooms night by night and keeping OTA inventory in sync, Cloudbeds is built for exactly that.
What a group booking needs.
- 01.A quote nobody has to build by hand. The organizer prices the 10pm block request on your booking form in about 4 seconds, or the AI drafts the quote from the email so your team approves it in the morning instead of starting from scratch.
- 02.Everything on one itemized quote. A room block plus meals, AV, catering and a contract, priced together. A group quote is not among Cloudbeds' plans or add-ons.
- 03.Specific units, chosen at quote time. A group often asks for Cabin 7 and Cabin 12, or the Garden Room and the Terrace. The organizer picks the named units in the quote itself.
- 04.A link for every attendee. On a 40-person booking, each guest gets their own link to pick a room, add their details and pay their own deposit, so nobody collects 40 payments by hand.
Eight Cloudbeds alternatives, plus where Everybooking fits.
- You are here01From $97/mo + $297 setup; full setup on a call
Everybooking
Best for the group and event side of a propertyNot a PMS, and not trying to be. Cloudbeds runs the nightly-room business; Everybooking answers the group and event inquiry — the buyout, the retreat, the 40-room wedding block — with a full multi-line quote the customer prices in about 4 seconds. You can run both; there is no connection between them, so group room blocks are entered in Cloudbeds by your team.
Where it wins- Instant multi-line quote covering rooms, meals, spaces, and activities
- Attendee cascade: each guest claims a room, logs details, pays their share
- Unique-unit inventory rather than room types alone
Where it doesn't- No channel manager, no OTA distribution, no night audit
- Not a replacement for a PMS on transient business
- More than you need if every booking is a fixed nightly rate
Choose Everybooking if: your unsolved problem is the group inquiry, not the nightly room.Try the live demo → - 02Not published; priced per room, through sales
Mews
Best for plans that run up to multi-brand groupsA cloud PMS sold in three plans: Mews Pro ("the full operating system"), Mews Core for less complex properties, and Enterprise for multi-brand groups. Mews publishes no price list; it quotes per room.
Where it wins- Plans from less complex properties to multi-brand groups
- Pro plan positioned as a full operating system for the hotel
- Priced per room, so cost follows size
Where it doesn't- No public price list
- Quote through sales before you can compare
- Plan choice depends on how complex your property is
Choose Mews if: you want plans that reach multi-brand groups, priced per room. - 03No list price; innRoad says about $150/mo for most properties
innRoad
Best for a stated typical monthly costProperty management software for hotels, inns, B&Bs, motels and management companies. innRoad gives no list price but says most properties pay about $150 a month for the core system, month to month with no long-term contract.
Where it wins- A stated typical cost, unlike Cloudbeds
- Month to month, no long-term contract
- Covers inns, B&Bs and motels as well as hotels
Where it doesn't- Pricing is customized; the $150 is an estimate, not a list price
- Request a quote for your own property
- Plans: Essentials or customized, both by quote
Choose innRoad if: you want a vendor that states a typical monthly cost and needs no long contract.Full comparison → - 04Custom, by units and season; no setup fee
ResNexus
Best for campgrounds, glamping and lodgingReservation software for campgrounds, glamping, hotels, B&Bs, lodging and vacation rentals, so cabins and sites sit alongside rooms. Pricing is custom, based on your units and seasonality, with no setup fee and no long-term contract.
Where it wins- Campgrounds and glamping are named markets
- No setup fee and no long-term contract
- Offers a price match
Where it doesn't- No published price
- Price depends on units and seasonality, so quotes vary
- Editions: Essentials and Premier, both by quote
Choose ResNexus if: you rent cabins, sites or glamping units as well as rooms.Full comparison → - 05Enterprise, sales-quoted
SynXis (Aven Hospitality)
Best central reservation system for distributionA CRS rather than a PMS, and a different layer of the stack: SynXis exists to push rates and availability across every channel at scale. Properties usually add it to a PMS rather than replacing one with it.
Where it wins- Distribution reach and rate management at enterprise scale
- Built for hotel groups and chains with large portfolios
- Deep channel and GDS connectivity
Where it doesn't- Not a property management system on its own
- Enterprise contracting and implementation
- No group-sales or event-quoting layer
Choose SynXis (Aven Hospitality) if: distribution, not operations, is the bottleneck.Full comparison → - 06From $50/mo for one property ($125 multi-property); add-ons $1–$3 per room/mo
eviivo
Best for a published price on one propertyOften compared with Cloudbeds by small independents and B&Bs. Unlike Cloudbeds, eviivo publishes its price: from $50 a month for one property ($125 for several), with add-ons for payments, guest messaging and promotions charged per room.
Where it wins- Published price you can budget against
- Built for hotels, B&Bs, hostels, short-term rentals and campgrounds
- Separate published price for multi-property owners
Where it doesn't- Per-room add-ons and a $0.50 per-booking fee ($0.75 in Canada) with its payments or messaging add up as you grow
- No free trial (an onboarding period instead)
- Some prices are per room, so cost rises with size
Choose eviivo if: you run a handful of rooms and want a price you can see before you call. - 07Check littlehotelier.com for current pricing; not confirmed by us on 2026-10-29
Little Hotelier

Should you even switch?
For most properties the honest answer is don't switch — add. Cloudbeds and Everybooking are built for two different jobs. Cloudbeds keeps the transient-room business: nightly PMS, channel manager, OTA distribution, front desk. Everybooking sits in front of it and quotes the group. There is no connection between the two today, so when a group books, your team enters the room block in Cloudbeds, as it does for groups now.
The real difference is which booking each tool is built to win. A PMS is excellent at the room that sells itself for one night through an OTA. It was never built for the twenty minutes before a group block, when a stranger asks what a Saturday in October costs for 40 rooms with dinner and AV, and the first property to send a real number wins. If your rooms already fill themselves and your pain is nightly operations, keep Cloudbeds and stop reading. Running a B&B? Our B&B booking software comparison covers eight systems, with the prices each one lists. If the deal you keep losing is the group, which isn't among Cloudbeds' plans or add-ons, keep going.
What Cloudbeds and its competitors cost.
Cloudbeds sells four plans (Flex, One, Experience and Enterprise) and publishes no price for any of them. Several alternatives do. The table shows what each vendor says on its own pricing page (SynXis from our own 2026-10-28 comparison), read on 2026-10-29. Where a vendor gives no figure, or we could not read its page, the table says so.

Cloudbeds does not publish prices; its pricing page (checked 2026-10-29) asks you to request a quote for every plan. Get a written quote before budgeting against it.
Steven tried 40 pieces of software before Everybooking. Now, in his words: “All that back and forth is just eliminated and all done in one booking on one system.” If your group blocks keep dying in the inbox, see it run on your own rooms and packages.
Cloudbeds FAQ.
- Should I keep Cloudbeds?
- Yes if the business you run every day is nightly transient rooms. Cloudbeds sells a PMS, a channel manager and a booking engine to independent hotels, B&Bs, hostels, vacation rentals and hotel groups. If your hard problem is filling rooms night by night and keeping OTA inventory in sync, that is exactly what Cloudbeds is built for, and Everybooking does not replace it. Add Everybooking when the deal you keep losing is the group: the 40-room block with AV, catering, and a contract. A group quote isn't among Cloudbeds' plans or add-ons.
- How much does Cloudbeds cost?
- Cloudbeds does not publish prices. Its pricing page (checked 2026-10-29) lists four plans, Flex, One, Experience and Enterprise, each with a "request a quote" button, plus paid add-ons for revenue management, guest marketing, digital marketing, websites and reputation. The channel manager and booking engine come with the One and Experience plans. Everybooking starts with an instant quote funnel at $97 a month plus $297 setup, month to month; the full setup is priced to your business on a short call. The two tools price against different jobs, so this is rarely a like-for-like cost decision.
- eviivo vs Cloudbeds: which is better for a small property?
- For a single small hotel or B&B that wants a known price, eviivo: it publishes one, from $50 a month for one property, with add-ons charged per room. Cloudbeds does not publish prices and sells add-ons for revenue management, guest marketing, digital marketing, websites and reputation. Compare quotes on the same room count and add-ons.
- Preno vs Cloudbeds?
- We could not load Preno's website or pricing page on 2026-10-29, so we can't compare the two fairly yet, and Preno isn't in our list above. Cloudbeds sells to independent hotels, B&Bs, hostels, vacation rentals and hotel groups. Ask both for a written quote on the same rooms.
- Cloudbeds vs Mews?
- Neither publishes a price. Mews sells three plans (Mews Pro, Core and Enterprise) priced per room, running up to multi-brand groups. Cloudbeds sells Flex, One, Experience and Enterprise, with add-on modules. Ask both for a quote on the same rooms and modules.
- Beds24 vs Cloudbeds?
- Beds24 publishes its prices: from €15.50 a month for the base account, plus €0.55 a month for the channel manager and per channel link, with no booking commission. Cloudbeds publishes none. Add up the Beds24 pieces you need and compare the total with a written Cloudbeds quote.
- Can Everybooking run alongside Cloudbeds?
- Yes, and for most properties that is the honest recommendation. Cloudbeds keeps the transient-room business — nightly PMS, channel manager, OTA distribution, front desk. Everybooking runs the group and event pipeline in front of it: the inquiry lands, the AI drafts a reply with a real multi-line quote for your team to send, the organizer commits, and the attendee cascade collects names, room picks, dietary needs, and split deposits from every guest. Everybooking has no Cloudbeds connection today, so when a group books, your team enters the room block in Cloudbeds the way it does for any group now.
- What does a group booking need that Cloudbeds' plans don't list?
- Cloudbeds' pricing page lists a PMS, channel manager and booking engine; none of its plans or add-ons is a group quote. A group booking needs four things on top: the quote built without someone pricing it by hand (the organizer prices it on Everybooking's booking form in about 4 seconds, or the AI drafts it from the email for staff to approve); rooms, meals, AV and a contract on one itemized quote; specific named units such as Cabin 7 and Cabin 12 chosen at quote time; and a link for each attendee to pick a room, add details and pay their own share.
- Is Everybooking a PMS or a channel manager?
- No, and it does not pretend to be. Everybooking is an Instant Group Quote Platform — it wins the complex group and event inquiry and turns it into a booking. It does not run nightly housekeeping boards, push rates to OTAs, or manage transient front-desk operations, and it is not the tool to rip out Cloudbeds for if that is your core need. Where a property needs both jobs done, the clean setup is Cloudbeds for transient rooms and Everybooking for the group and event pipeline.
- Can I migrate off Cloudbeds?
- You can, but ask first whether you should. If Cloudbeds is serving your nightly-stay operations well, keeping it and adding Everybooking for events is usually the better path than a full migration. Everybooking is not a PMS or channel manager, so leaving Cloudbeds entirely would mean losing your OTA connections and front desk.
