Most booking platforms sync your calendar. Few include the marketing that fills it in one published price.
Keeping your booking sites in sync is table stakes. Marketing, reviews, ad tracking and Xero books that code themselves are usually separate bills, bought from someone else, every month. Ours bundles all eight things that fill rooms for $500/mo, published, no call required. What you send is billed per item at published rates.
- One price, before any call
- Eight things that fill rooms, not sold separately
- Nobody paid to be on this list
Eleven of these won’t show you a price you can pay without a conversation
We checked sixteen booking platforms sold to Australian operators. Five will show you a price without asking for your phone number. Seven of them get a full comparison below, and none of those seven shows you what you’d still need to buy alongside it to do what we do in one login.

Price not published*Our estimate, not a price they charge: their price as each comparison page dates it, plus the tools you would add to match what Accommador includes, at our market rates for a 30-room property.How we worked it out
The 16 platforms we checked, side by sideWho shows you a price, and who helps fill your rooms. On our reading, only one does both.See them allWhat we don’t do: powered sites for holiday parks, statutory trust accounting, bed-level dorm inventory, GDS, kiosks and POS, and chain-scale central reservations. What we do is the direct-booking loop, end to end.
Two questions: will they show you a price, and will they help fill your rooms?
The two things you can check before anyone gets you on a call. Pricing shown here is the licence only. See each card above for what it would cost to match us. Pick a platform to read the full comparison.

On our reading, one platform shows its price and fills your rooms.
“Marketing built in” here means email and SMS campaigns plus review requests, all included in the published plan price (with sends billed per item at published rates). A guest database or CRM on its own, guest messages without campaigns, or marketing sold as an add-on counts as “Some of it” or “Add-on”.
Whether each platform shows a price was checked on its own site on 28 October 2026. “Cost to match us” figures are our estimate of what you’d pay elsewhere, at typical Australian market rates, for the parts of our bundle a platform’s licence doesn’t include, added to the licence figure each comparison page dates (some from July 2026). They are not what that platform charges. Confirm current pricing with each vendor.

Questions we get asked
Why does Accommador publish pricing when most competitors don’t?
Because we think you should see the price before you talk to anyone. It’s $500/mo, or $5,000/yr paid yearly, every feature switched on, whatever your room count. The $500 buys the platform; what you send is billed per item, and every send rate we set is published right alongside it. The usual card-processing fees apply.
What does "cost to match us" mean on this page?
It’s our estimate of what you’d still need to buy to do what Accommador already bundles, such as a guest database, SMS, reviews and ad tracking. We price those at typical Australian market rates for buying them elsewhere. It is never what the platform itself charges for them, and we say so everywhere it appears.
Are these comparisons biased?
We’re obviously not neutral. So we cite our sources, date what we checked, label every estimate, and our price is right there to check. Nobody pays to appear here.
What does switching involve?
We move your bookings, rates, booking-site connections and Xero for free on the yearly plan, and your listings never go dark. On monthly, our AI walks you through it step by step.
What’s the Locked-for-Life operator offer?
You get the full platform for $5,000/yr, that price held for life, and we move you over free. Sends are billed per item at published rates.
Figures on this page are prices a vendor publishes, figures from third parties, and our own estimates. We cite and date the first two, and label the third as estimates and work it through on the methodology page. None of them is a quote or what any particular property will pay.
Our estimates assume a 30-room Australian property at 65% occupancy, A$180 average daily rate, a 2.0-night average stay and a 65% online booking share, with United States dollar figures converted at the market spot rate of AUD/USD 0.6973 as at 24 July 2026, and stated ex-GST. See the full working, every vendor's longhand sum and what remains unverified at the methodology page. A different property's numbers will differ.
Vendor figures come from the vendor's own pages, its pricing data or its published documents, such as RMS Cloud's North American price guide; third-party and competitor-published figures are marked as such. Most figures carry the date they were last checked, next to their source. Most were first checked between May and July 2026, some were rechecked on7 October 2026, and many, including every cell in our shortlist guides' comparison table, were rechecked on 28 October 2026. Where a figure still rests on an older source, such as a vendor's July 2026 pricing data, it says so. Pricing changes without notice. Always verify current pricing directly with the vendor before making a decision.
Accommador has no affiliation with, endorsement by, or partnership with any vendor named on this page. All product names, company names and trade marks referenced are the property of their respective owners.
