Comparison

Three setups, three different costs

A property manages its channels in one of three ways: by hand, with separate tools, or from one platform. Below is what each really costs — including the cases where we are not the right fit.

The setups

Manual management

Looks free

Each channel's own screen plus a spreadsheet. A rate change is repeated once per channel.

  • No software cost
  • Workable with very few units
  • Separate calendars keep the double-booking risk permanently open
  • A rate update takes hours, so it rarely happens
  • Bookings, collections and payouts stay scattered

Separate tools

Sum of monthly fees

Channel manager from one vendor, payment infrastructure from another, revenue/analytics from a third.

  • A specialised product in each area
  • You can swap any one of them
  • Three subscriptions, three contracts, three support lines
  • When something breaks, whose fault it is becomes a debate
  • Data moves between tools by hand — or not at all

One platform (Reservoria)

No monthly fee

Channels, calendar, collection and payouts in one place. The service fee applies only to realised bookings.

  • One calendar: a booking closes the room on every other channel at once
  • We do the setup and the channel mapping
  • An empty month costs you nothing
  • Commission-based: in a full season it can cost more than a fixed monthly tool
  • A channel connection needs your own account and contract on that channel

When we are not the right fit

  • If you have a single flat and sell on one channel only, you do not need a channel manager — that channel's own calendar is enough.
  • If you already have a channel manager and a revenue team, there is no need to replace the whole platform — we can talk about the collection side (ResFlow) alone.
  • If you want a fixed monthly fee rather than a share of revenue, our pricing will not suit you. We say so up front.
  • A channel connection depends on the property's own account and contract there. We help with opening an account, but we cannot sign on your behalf.
