How to choose

Which reservation features should I compare?

Start with the reservation types you handle, then check for online booking, booking channels, automated reminders, waitlist management and deposit collection.

The comparison fields show whether these features are listed, so focus on the ones that match your booking process.

How can I compare plans and trial options?

Compare the free-plan mark, the listed starting price and whether a free trial is offered.

For example, Bókun lists a free plan, a 14-day trial and paid plans from $49 per month. Cloudbeds Booking Engine lists pricing on request.

Which devices and platforms should it support?

Choose software that runs where you need to manage bookings or let customers make them. The listed platforms include web, iOS, Android, Windows, macOS and API access.

Check a tool's platform details before choosing; support varies across the category.

Do I need an API or open-source software?

Look for a public API if you need software to connect with other services, and check the open-source mark if access to the code matters to you.

An API is a way for software systems to exchange information. The board's marks help you check these options.
