One PMS for
every kind of stay.
Hotels, villas, boutique stays, vacation rentals, condo-hotels, multi-property groups — one platform, all of it. Channel manager, booking engine, owner statements, digital check-in. Clear, room-based pricing with 0% of your bookings. Your first month is free, and migration is on us.
First month free, no card — starting the day you go live, and we do the migration. No setup fees.
Free month = your real bookings · explore trial and demo = sample data.
Property + room pricing. No % of your revenue.
Most property management platforms automate your payments and upsells — then take a cut of every transaction. Vortex PMS charges a predictable monthly fee and keeps its hands out of your revenue.

"Typical PMS + payment tool" reflects common industry pricing patterns. Actual fees vary by platform and plan.
Pricing that scales with you.
$12/property + $3/room per month, and 0% of your bookings — OTA distribution, Booking.com + Stripe payments, booking engine and upsells all included. Billed monthly, or cheaper on an annual plan if you commit for 12 months. Already on another PMS? Pick it to see what you’d save.
Optional paid add-on: AI guest messaging. Keep every guest conversation in one inbox. AI drafts replies using your booking data; your team can review and send them, or enable autopilot to send routine replies automatically when confidence is high. Anything below the score you set, anything it had to flag, and anything urgent still waits for a person. It answers only from your property's own knowledge base, the live booking and your add-on catalogue. It will not invent an answer, will not quote a price you have not set, will not promise a room is ready, and hands anything about leaks, lockouts, refunds or disputes straight to a person. It needs your channels connected on that property first. $5 per unit per month for vacation rentals, or $12 per property + $1 per room per month for hotels — on top of your plan, and only on the properties you switch it on for.
Setup is free, and our team handles the migration. No setup fee, implementation package, or paid training tier. We coordinate the move by email or WhatsApp, gather the details we need step by step, and connect your rooms, rates, and channels before your free month begins.
Curious what setup costs elsewhere? We checked all 16 vendors we compare against — most of them don’t charge either. See the sourced breakdown.

Three ways to start.
Three ways in, and one difference decides it: the free month is the only one that runs on your real property and your real bookings. The 14-day explore trial and the public demo both run on sample data, so neither connects your channels or takes real payments.
First month free
Your real property and your real bookings.
The only one of the three that runs your actual business, and it needs no card. We move you off your current system ourselves at no charge, and once your channels are connected and bookings are coming in, the whole product is yours free for 30 days — channel manager, your own booking engine and live payments, on your own property.
- What it costs to start
- No card · migration on us · 30 free days from the day you go live
- How it ends
- Ends with an email five days out: add a card to carry on, or do nothing and you have paid nothing.
- How to begin
- Sign up and we start the move. Going live starts the 30 free days; the card is only asked for at the end of them.
14-day explore trial
Sample data. Not your bookings.
An account of your own, opened with no card and pre-loaded with a sample property — sample bookings, rates, statements and reports — so you can click through every screen. Because it runs on sample data it does not connect your real channels and it does not take real payments.
- What it costs to start
- No card · the account stays yours
- How it ends
- Ends by expiring after 14 days. Say the word whenever you like and we start the move to your real property.
Public demo
Sample data. No signup at all.
One click into a throwaway account already full of sample bookings, with nothing to fill in first. It is there to look at, not to run a property on — the same sample data as the explore trial, minus the signup.
- What it costs to start
- No card, no email, no password
- How it ends
- The throwaway account is deleted after 7 days. Nothing you do in it is kept.
Monthly plans can be cancelled before any renewal. The annual plan is discounted because it is a 12-month commitment. Either way your data is exportable to CSV at any time, and migration is on us — a person builds the property out with you and moves your existing bookings across.
Bring your data in. Four ways, no API calls.
Migration is on us — we move you across, timed to your renewal, with zero downtime.
You don’t need to talk to your existing vendor or wait for a sales call. Pick the path that matches where your data lives today. These four are all about moving YOUR bookings in, so they open on the free month — the one that runs on your real property. The explore trial and the demo show you the same screens filled with sample data instead.
Switching from another PMS
Live and upcoming bookings come from reconnecting your OTAs (right). If you also want your closed, completed stays on file, export rooms and past reservations from your current PMS and upload them as a best-effort archive — previewed and validated before anything commits, and kept separate from your live occupancy and revenue numbers.
Hosting on Airbnb
Drop your public Airbnb listing URLs. We scrape names, photos, occupancy, locations, and rates, then build the property + rooms + a direct booking page in one step.
Already selling on the OTAs
Connect Booking.com, Expedia, Airbnb and Agoda through our built-in channel manager — connect and map your rooms yourself, right inside Vortex PMS. Your existing listings, reviews and ranking stay; you map to them, you don't re-list. This brings in your upcoming and currently-active bookings with real pricing — OTAs don't hand over closed historical stays, so it's not a full backdate of your books.
Brand new operator
Starting from scratch? Walk through a short wizard — name, rooms, rates, photos — and open your own commission-free booking page. Connect the OTAs whenever you're ready.
First month free, no card — starting the day you go live, and we do the migration. Nothing is held back for a higher tier. Free month = your real bookings · explore trial and demo = sample data.
Stop stitching tools together.
Vortex PMS replaces your channel manager, booking engine, digital check-in, upsell tool, and owner-reporting spreadsheets — without the enterprise-tier tax.
The AI setup assistant helps you configure your property, room types, rate plans, taxes, booking engine, and payments. Our team handles migration and helps you get the channels live.
Booking.com, Airbnb, Expedia, Agoda, Vrbo, Hotelbeds and 300+ more — one inventory, per-channel rates so OTA commissions don't eat your margin, and inline availability sync. Per-OTA kill switches for pausing a source.
