FAQs from hotels switching to Amenitiz
Cloudbeds is a platform designed for large and complex hotel operations: with up to 500 rooms, multiple properties, and dedicated technical teams. Amenitiz is built specifically for independent hotels with 3 to 30 rooms across Europe. Amenitiz includes PMS, channel manager, booking engine, website, payments, and legal compliance in a single subscription. With Cloudbeds, many of these features are additional paid modules.
Yes, significantly. Cloudbeds starts at between €100 and €300/month, and that's before adding modules like Revenue Intelligence, a website builder, or advanced marketing tools. Amenitiz starts at €42/month with everything included: PMS, channel manager, booking engine, expert-built website, and integrated payments. For a 15-room independent hotel in France, Italy, Spain or Portugal, the difference can easily exceed €150/month, with nothing extra to show for it.
Yes. Amenitiz handles local fiscal compliance natively within the PMS. This includes NF525 certification (France) officially verified by INFOCERT, SEF/AIMA guest reporting (Portugal) through Checkin integration, and VeriFactu electronic invoicing (Spain).
Yes. Amenitiz connects to 150+ OTAs, including Booking.com, Airbnb, Expedia, and Google, with real-time two-way synchronisation. Cloudbeds connects to 300+ channels globally, which can be an advantage for hotel groups with very broad international distribution needs. For an independent hotel in Spain working primarily with the major European OTAs, Amenitiz covers every channel that actually matters, with no extra cost and no complex technical setup.
Yes. Both Amenitiz and Cloudbeds include a full PMS. The difference lies in who they are built for: Cloudbeds is optimised for large properties with multiple departments and complex workflows. Amenitiz is designed for 3 to 30+ room hotels that need simplicity, speed, and a tool that requires no technical training. Reservations, check-in/out, invoicing, housekeeping, and reporting, all managed from the same platform as the channel manager and booking engine.
For most independent hotels between 3 to 30+ rooms in Europe, yes. If you use Cloudbeds primarily to manage reservations, sync channels, and process payments: and you are paying for additional modules for your website or dynamic pricing. Amenitiz consolidates all of that into a single subscription at a lower total cost. If you manage a chain of 50+ rooms with highly complex operational needs, Cloudbeds may be better suited to that specific profile.
Most hotels are fully live within 3 to 4 weeks. Amenitiz assigns a dedicated onboarding specialist who speaks French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese or English, and handles data migration for you: including existing bookings, room configurations, and OTA channel reconnections. There is no gap in availability during the transition.
Yes, and it is included in all plans at no extra cost. Our website is built by hospitality experts, optimised for local SEO, and fully integrated with the booking engine, so guests book directly without leaving your site. Cloudbeds offers a canvas-style website builder with limited customisation options that is not included in the base plan.
Yes. Amenitiz includes PriceAdvisor, a smart pricing tool built directly into the platform that helps you set better room rates based on demand, seasonality, occupancy levels, and local market conditions, updating across all your connected OTAs instantly. For hotels that need deeper revenue management capabilities, Amenitiz also integrates with PriceLabs: one of the most powerful dynamic pricing tools on the market, at a discounted rate through the Amenitiz Marketplace. Cloudbeds offers its Revenue Intelligence tool, but it is not included in the base plan and requires a paid add-on that significantly increases the total cost of the platform.
AmenitizPay charges a transparent flat rate of 1.4% + €0.25 per transaction for European cards, with no hidden fees. Cloudbeds Payments uses a variable pricing mode: their own website cites an example rate of 1.2% + €0.35 per transaction, but actual fees vary by property location, card type, and the pricing model agreed at signup. Additionally, Cloudbeds applies a separate currency conversion fee of 1% on international card transactions, which can significantly increase the effective rate for European hotels with international guests.
