No card is needed to start; we ask for one five days before the free month ends. The first charge is 30 days after go-live, and you can cancel before it.

Balanced view

What Beds24 does well — and where Vortex PMS wins

Beds24 is genuinely good at
Genuinely low base price
Beds24 lists a base subscription and a pay-as-you-go option. Compare its current plan and channel-link charges using your configured room types and connections with the total Vortex PMS subscription for your setup.
Extremely flexible and powerful
Huge channel list, deep automation, a full open API, custom templates and rules. Technical operators who want to configure everything themselves can bend Beds24 to almost any workflow.
Pay only for what you connect
The à-la-carte model means a single-channel property genuinely pays very little. If your distribution is simple, the granular pricing works in your favour.
Where Vortex PMS is materially better
Channel manager included in the subscription
Vortex PMS includes its channel manager in the subscription, without a separate per-channel-link fee. Available channels and connection details vary by channel; check that the specific channel and workflow you need are supported.
Compare total costs at your connection count
Beds24's per-link charges depend on the room types and channel connections in your setup. Compare the resulting total with Vortex PMS's published subscription and confirm that the connections you need are supported.
Compare setup workflow
Vortex PMS is designed for desktop and mobile use. Compare the current screens and setup steps against the workflows your team needs.
Front-desk and owner workflows in one system
Vortex PMS includes folios, housekeeping, digital check-in with ID capture, upsells, and per-unit owner statements. Compare the workflows and reporting in each product for your setup.
Where Beds24 commonly frustrates operators
Per-link charges depend on your channel setup
Beds24 charges €0.55/mo per link — one room-type to one channel. If a 6-room property is configured with each room as a separate type, connecting four OTAs would be 24 links (~€13/mo) before rentals. Check how your own room types and channels would be counted.
Configuration takes planning
Beds24 exposes a wide range of settings and channel mappings. Review its self-service setup materials and test the configuration your operation depends on before switching.
Highly configurable interface
Beds24 exposes extensive configuration options. Compare the current interface and daily workflows with what your team needs to manage reservations, rates, and channels.
Compare owner and front-desk workflows
Beds24 offers PMS, housekeeping, and owner-management features. Compare its owner reports, front-desk tasks, and folio workflows with the requirements of your operation. source

Onboarding

Setup is free, migration is on us — and a human does it with you.

There is no setup fee, no implementation package and no paid training tier. We set the property up with you by email or WhatsApp while we build out your rooms, rates, policies and channel connections. No call is required.

Our team checks your whole setup so your first booking goes out right: rooms mapped, rates correct, channels connected, nothing half-configured. Every host gets this personal setup today, and the AI-guided setup in the app takes on more of it as we grow.

To be clear about what happens when: start your free month and the hands-on setup runs straight away — we move your real property across and connect Booking.com, Airbnb, Expedia and Agoda to live inventory first, at no charge. Your 30 free days start the day your first channel goes live (no card is needed to connect it), nothing is charged for those 30 days, and the first charge is 30 days after go-live. If you take the explore trial instead, it runs on a pre-loaded sample property, so there is nothing to migrate and nothing to connect until you subscribe.

What Beds24 charges
No setup fee

Beds24 doesn't charge for onboarding either — worth knowing, and we'd rather tell you than let you find out.

Beds24 charges no setup or onboarding fee; it is pay-as-you-go with self-serve setup. There is no assisted onboarding, and its own users describe configuration as steep and technical.

"No fee" here means no paid onboarding is offered at all — setup is entirely self-serve, not a hands-on service at no cost.
