For a typical 15-room independent hotel in Europe generating €200,000/year in direct bookings, Amenitiz costs approximately €780–€1,020/year compared to Beds24's realistic total of ~€983–€1,183/year — a difference that looks small on paper but masks a significant gap in complexity and hidden effort. Beds24's base fee starts as low as €336/year, but the full stack — channel manager connections, additional user logins, a third-party dynamic pricing tool, and external website hosting — brings the true cost to a comparable level. Both platforms charge 0% commission on direct bookings, but Amenitiz bundles dynamic pricing, a native website builder, multilingual support, and payment processing in a single subscription, while Beds24 requires you to assemble and manage those components separately.

What is the main difference between Amenitiz and Beds24?

This is genuinely one of the more interesting PMS comparisons in the European market right now, because the two platforms have almost opposite philosophies, which makes the "right" answer very dependent on who you are.

What is

Amenitiz

Amenitiz is an all-in-one management system built exclusively for independent hotels and B&Bs in Europe with 11–30 rooms. Founded in 2017 and trusted by 15,000+ properties across Spain, France, Italy, and Portugal, it combines PMS, booking engine, channel manager, payment processing, dynamic pricing, and website builder in a single subscription, with 0% commission on direct bookings.

Founded 2017 15,000+ hotels 5 European markets 0% commission From €42/month
What is

Beds24

Beds24 is a cloud-based PMS, channel manager, and booking engine developed by Beds24 GmbH, in operation since 2006. It serves property managers in over 150 countries across an enormous range of property types; hotels, B&Bs, vacation rentals, hostels, campgrounds, and agencies. Its defining characteristic is radical flexibility: almost everything is configurable, the pricing is modular, and the system is designed for operators who want to build their own workflows rather than follow a preset structure.

Founded 2006 150+ countries 60+ OTA connections 0% commission From €15,5/month + add-ons

The Fundamental Difference: Philosophy, Not Just Features

If you spend time with both platforms, the contrast becomes clear quickly. Amenitiz was designed to feel like a tool your front desk team will actually enjoy using; the interface is clean, opinionated, and focused on the hotel use case. Beds24 was designed to do anything; and it largely delivers on that promise, but it requires you to invest real time in configuration.

Amenitiz uses an all-inclusive subscription model. One plan, all core features, no hidden costs. PMS, booking engine, channel manager, dynamic pricing (PriceAdvisor), payment processing (AmenitizPay), marketing tools (AmenitizBoost), and a website builder with advanced SEO, all built by the same team and designed to work together natively.

Beds24 uses a pay-as-you-go model with granular per-unit and per-connection pricing. The base fee covers the PMS and booking engine; the channel manager is an add-on at €0.55/connection/month; additional users cost €2.00/month each; SMS notifications are €0.10/message. The result is a very low entry price, but the total cost rises meaningfully once you add the connections and tools a typical hotel actually needs.

Besides what's mentioned above, the main difference between Amenitiz and Beds24 feature-wise is the hotel website feature and the customer support provided.

Market Context: Why the PMS You Choose in 2026 Actually Matters

According to the Hotel PMS Market Overview research conducted by Business Research Insights, the hotel PMS market reached $2.94 billion in 2026 and is on track to hit $16.22 billion by 2035, growing at a CAGR of 16.8%. Independent hotels represent 51.45% of that market and are increasingly choosing cloud-based, all-in-one solutions over fragmented tool stacks.

The reason is simple: time. The average independent hotelier isn't a software engineer. They're managing check-ins, resolving guest issues, coordinating housekeeping, and trying to squeeze out a decent RevPAR - all before lunch. Every hour spent configuring integrations or chasing support tickets is an hour not spent running the property.

That context matters a lot when evaluating Beds24. The platform is genuinely impressive in what it can do. But "what it can do" and "what your team will actually use correctly" are two different things - and the learning curve is real.

What's included in Amenitiz's monthly subscription?

Visit our pricing page to see everything that's included in our plans.

Beds24 is an all-in-one vacation rental designed for tech-saavy users, with a high level of technical complexity. They offer a very competitive pricing plan, but then the Channel Manager, booking notifications, additional users, and using your own subdomain as a booking page come as separate add-ons.

Their pricing starts at 15.50€/month, but they can easily go up to 105€/month if you're a +10 room hotel with 4 different types of room and using 30+ booking channels (OTAs).

What's included in Beds24's monthly subscription?

  • PMS
  • Payments
  • Multiple Property Management
  • Automation
  • Central inbox
  • Messaging
  • Mobile App
  • Ticket support system
  • Self-onboarding
  • Webinars

What matters most for independent hoteliers in 2026 is having fully integrated website with a native booking engine that helps them increase direct bookings and be less dependent on OTAs. Beds24 solves this issue with a work-around (they have a wordpress plugin to connect the booking engine to your website) and they charge extra for it (€19.00/month).

What is NOT included in Beds24's monthly subscription?

  • Channel Manager (from €0.55/month)
  • SMS notifications (+0.10€ per SMS)
  • Integrations (from €0.55/month)
  • Subdomain (€19.00/month)
  • Additional users (€2.00/month)
  • Personal onboarding and training sessions (€79.00)

Bottom line: a fully-equipped Beds24 setup can run to €114+/month... + €2 per additional user + €0.10 per SMS notification vs. €42/month using Amenitiz.

Key differences between Amenitiz and Beds24 plans:

  • Best fit: Amenitiz is best for independent hotels between 3 and 30 rooms in Europe, specially France, Italy, Spain and Portugal. Beds24 is best for hotels, B&Bs, Guest Houses, Holiday Homes, Vacation Rentals, Cottages, Hostels, Campgrounds and Agenices worldwide (they are present in 120+ countries).
  • All-in-one vs. add ons: Amenitiz is a true all-in-one native system with no add-ons. Beds24 offers a cheap entry price with a good amount of features, but charges extra for essential tools like the Channel Manager, Notifications, Integrations, Subdomain and the Onboarding to their platform.
  • Booking engine structure: both have 0% commissions on direct bookings from the booking engine. Additionally, Amenitiz offers the option to build a brand new hotel website for you, with the booking engine integrated natively and advanced SEO features to boost the visibility of your property. With Beds24 you can also create an hotel website yourself,
  • Onboarding: Amenitiz helps you get on board with a dedicated expert that will follow up in every step of the process (included in the pricing). Beds24 charges €79 for a dedicated onboarding, otherwise you have to do it on your own.
  • Customer support: Amenitiz has a dedicated customer support team for each of their core markets (France, Italy, Spain, Portugal) and also provides support in english, every day of the week, with an average time response of < 2min. We answer you by email, phone and videocall. Beds24 only offers a self-service ticketing system.

Who Should Choose Amenitiz?

Best fit for:

Independent hotels with 11–30 rooms in EuropeAmenitiz was purpose-built for exactly this segment. The compliance features alone (NF525 for France, fiscal requirements for Spain and Italy) save hours of manual work.

Hoteliers who want to focus on hospitality, not techThe setup is guided, the interface is clean, and when something doesn't work, a real human answers. That matters more than it might sound.

Properties that want genuine all-in-one valueNo juggling subscriptions. PMS, website, booking engine, payments, and dynamic pricing — all from the same team, working together natively.

Hotels with significant direct booking revenueAt 0% commission, every euro of direct booking revenue stays with the hotel. For a property generating €200K+ in direct bookings, the savings are substantial.

Not ideal for:

  • Properties outside Europe (Amenitiz focuses on 5 European markets)
  • Very small micro-properties (1–3 rooms) — might be more than you need
  • Tech teams who want to build custom workflows via open API (Beds24 is more flexible here)

Who Should Choose Beds24?

Best fit for:

Tech-savvy operators who want maximum controlIf you enjoy configuring systems, building automations, and creating custom workflows, Beds24 is one of the most powerful tools on the market. It will do almost anything you want — if you're willing to set it up.

Property managers and agencies with mixed portfoliosVacation rentals, hotels, hostels, B&Bs — Beds24 handles them all from a single account. For multi-property agencies, this is a serious advantage.

Very small properties on tight budgetsA 3-room B&B with basic needs can run on Beds24 for under €25/month. Amenitiz's €42/month minimum is reasonable, but for the smallest properties, Beds24's modular pricing wins.

Operators who need deep third-party integrationsBeds24's open API and marketplace of integrations (Xero, Nuki, Chekin, Duve, RemoteLock, PriceLabs, and more) give tech-forward operators a lot of room to build.

Vacation rental operatorsBeds24's Vrbo/VRBO connectivity, iCal sync, and vacation rental-specific features make it a natural fit for short-term rental managers.

Not ideal for:

  • Hoteliers who expect hands-on onboarding and support
  • Properties that want a professionally built website included
  • Teams who need multilingual phone support as standard

What does customer reviews & independent rankings say?

Feature Amenitiz Beds24
Trustpilot rating 4.6/5 (4,751 reviews) 4.5/5 (500+ reviews)
Capterra Shortlist 2024 Best Value badge
GetApp Listed Top-rated
HTR 2026 Global PMS Rank #22 Not ranked (primarily channel manager)

One honest note on the Trustpilot numbers: Amenitiz has almost 10x more reviews, which gives the score statistical weight. Beds24's 4.5 from a smaller but deeply loyal user base is also meaningful — their customers tend to be long-term, technically engaged users who chose the platform deliberately.

"Having all hotel management centralised helped me enormously with invoicing." - Imma Bruna, Hotel Bruna (Amenitiz customer)

The pattern in Beds24 reviews is consistent: experienced property managers who have tried other systems love how much it can do. The frustration, when it appears, tends to be about the learning curve.

Amenitiz reviews tell a different story: hoteliers who were overwhelmed by other systems, or who switched from a manual setup, appreciate the simplicity and the quality of the support team.

Which PMS has a faster and easier onboarding?

Amenitiz Onboarding

Timeline: 2–3 weeks for most hotels, accompanied by an expert from our team, in your native language.

  • Week 1: Kickoff call with dedicated onboarding specialist
  • Week 2: Data migration (existing bookings, guest profiles, room inventory) + OTA connections (Booking.com, Airbnb, Expedia)
  • Week 3: Staff training + go-live

Everything is included: dedicated onboarding manager, free data migration from any PMS, staff training on-site or remote. No interruption to daily operations.

Beds24 Onboarding

Timeline: from hours (self-service) to several weeks (with paid sessions)

Beds24 is designed as a self-service system, and it shows. The knowledge base is extensive, the community forum is active and helpful, and the system itself is logical — once you understand its structure. For experienced tech users, this is genuinely not a problem. For a hotelier who has never configured a channel manager before, it can be daunting.

Optional personal onboarding and training sessions are available from €79. Regular webinars are also included for free.

Final Verdict: Which PMS Should You Choose?

Choose Amenitiz if:

  • You're an independent hotel with 11–30 rooms in Spain, France, Italy, Portugal, or the UK
  • You want everything in one place: website, PMS, booking engine, payments, dynamic pricing, without managing multiple vendors
  • You value fast, free, native-language support
  • You want predictable, all-inclusive pricing with no configuration overhead

Best for: European independent hotels that want to maximize direct bookings and spend their time running a hotel, not managing software.

Choose Beds24 if:

  • You're a tech-savvy operator who wants deep customization and is happy to invest time in setup
  • You manage a portfolio of different property types (hotels, vacation rentals, hostels)
  • You're outside Europe and need global OTA coverage
  • You have a very small property and want to minimize base costs

Best for: Property managers, vacation rental operators, and tech-forward hoteliers who prioritize flexibility over simplicity.

The Bottom Line

Beds24 is one of the most capable and cost-efficient channel managers on the market, and there's a reason it has a devoted following. If you're willing to configure it, it will handle almost anything you throw at it.

But for most independent hotel owners in Europe; people running a 15-room property in the south of France or a boutique hotel in Barcelona — Amenitiz is the more practical choice. Not because it does more, but because it makes the right things easy: your website looks good, your direct bookings flow smoothly, your rates adjust automatically, and when something breaks, someone actually picks up.

In hospitality, the best technology is the kind you stop noticing.

FAQs About Choosing Between
Amenitiz and Beds24 in 2026

Beds24 offers a free trial with no credit card required. After the trial, pricing starts from approximately €15.50/month depending on the number of units and channel connections. There are no contracts or setup fees, but add-ons like the channel manager (€0.55/connection/month) and additional users (€2.00/month) are charged separately.
No. Beds24 does not charge commissions on bookings. You pay a flat monthly fee based on the number of units and services you use. This makes it cost-competitive for properties with high booking volumes.
Amenitiz is widely considered easier to use, particularly for non-technical hoteliers. It offers guided onboarding, a dedicated onboarding manager, and an interface designed specifically for independent hotels. Beds24 is extremely powerful and flexible but comes with a steeper learning curve — it's better suited to tech-savvy operators or property managers who want deep customisation.
Yes. Amenitiz includes a fully integrated hotel website builder with advanced SEO capabilities in all plans. The booking engine is natively embedded — not an iframe — which improves conversion rates and Google indexing. Beds24 offers a customisable booking page and WordPress plugin, but does not include a full hotel website builder.
Beds24 connects to 60+ OTA channels via certified two-way API, including Airbnb (Preferred+ Partner), Booking.com (Premier Partner for 10 consecutive years), Expedia (Elite Partner), Vrbo, Tripadvisor, and Google Hotel Ads. Amenitiz connects to 150+ OTAs with a focus on major European platforms.
Amenitiz is purpose-built for independent hotels in Europe (Spain, France, Italy, Portugal, UK), with localized support, European regulatory compliance (including NF525 for France), and OTA coverage optimized for European markets. Beds24 operates globally and works in Europe, but lacks the same level of localized support and regulatory features.

For a typical 15-room hotel: Amenitiz costs approximately €780–€1,020/year (all-inclusive). Beds24 costs approximately €400–€600/year in base fees, but this excludes channel manager connections, additional users, third-party dynamic pricing tools, and external website hosting — bringing the realistic total to a similar range, with more complexity.
Beds24 includes a built-in yield optimizer that adjusts prices based on availability and proximity to check-in. For advanced revenue management with competitor rate monitoring, most users integrate PriceLabs. Amenitiz includes its own PriceAdvisor dynamic pricing tool in all plans at no extra cost, with competitor rate monitoring built in.
