Why hoteliers choose Cloudbeds over Stayntouch

Your growth strategy shouldn’t depend on which integrations are working today. With Cloudbeds, it is built into the platform from day one.

Cloudbeds Channel Manager connects to 300+ global, regional, and niche OTA channels with real-time inventory sync. When channel management runs through a third-party layer rather than natively within the platform, hotels generally introduce more moving parts — and more moving parts mean more to manage, monitor, and troubleshoot. Every hour your inventory is out of sync is an hour a competitor fills the room you should have sold.

Cloudbeds offers native tools for revenue intelligence, guest marketing CRM, websites, digital marketing, and reputation management, all working together within the platform. When revenue, distribution, and guest data live together, you stop second-guessing and start leading the market.

Cloudbeds gives you the best of both worlds: PMS, channel manager, booking engine, payments, guest experience, and revenue marketing tools are native on one platform. And if you want to extend further, 600+ pre-built integrations are ready to connect. Consolidate solutions where it’s most efficient, and extend with integrations or APIs to customize the platform to your hotel’s specific needs.

Growth shouldn’t mean a growing stack of vendor contracts. Cloudbeds consolidates many tools that most hotels end up buying separately. For growing properties and multi-property operators, that consolidation compounds: fewer integrations to maintain, fewer contracts to negotiate, and a total cost of ownership that stays predictable as the business scales.

Frequently asked questions

How does Cloudbeds compare to Stayntouch on OTA channel coverage?

Cloudbeds connects to 300+ global, regional, and niche OTA channels with real-time inventory sync — no manual updates, no missed secondary partners. For hotels managing multiple OTA relationships, a non-native channel management layer typically means more moving parts to coordinate — which can quietly absorb team time and add operational complexity. For hotels managing multiple OTA relationships, those gaps can quietly reduce booking velocity and cost team hours every week.

How does Cloudbeds handle revenue management compared to Stayntouch?

Cloudbeds offers hotels built-in revenue intelligence, forecasting, dynamic pricing, and RMS capabilities in one platform, so teams can make faster, more confident pricing decisions without adding more systems. With Stayntouch, advanced revenue management capabilities are generally sourced through third-party tools rather than the core platform.

Does Cloudbeds give me both an all-in-one platform and integration flexibility?

Yes, Cloudbeds gives hotels core capabilities natively on one platform, plus 600+ integrations when they want to extend further. With Stayntouch, some capabilities that are native in Cloudbeds may still require third-party tools.

Is Cloudbeds as easy to use as Stayntouch?

Yes. Cloudbeds is built for hotel teams, not IT departments, and most staff learn it in days. Cloudbeds pairs ease of use with stronger distribution, revenue intelligence, and integration depth — so the platform grows with the hotel instead of becoming something you outgrow.

Is Cloudbeds a good fit for mid-sized to large properties?

Absolutely. ​​More than a system that keeps up, mid-sized to large properties and hotel groups need a platform built to scale with their ambition. Cloudbeds is the only hospitality management system that covers operations, distribution, guest experience, and revenue marketing natively, from a single data model, giving larger properties the unified foundation they need to make smarter decisions across every department, channel, and location. While other vendors stitch together bolt-on acquisitions and third-party integrations to approximate this kind of breadth, Cloudbeds built it — which means your channel performance informs your pricing, your guest behavior shapes your marketing, and your revenue intelligence operates on complete data, not fragments.

Is Cloudbeds built for the modern guest journey?

Yes. Cloudbeds is built to meet all expectations of the modern traveler, like checking in before they arrive, skipping the front desk queue, or requesting a late checkout from their phone without ever having to call down. Cloudbeds Guest Experience gives properties the tools to deploy self-service kiosks, enable fully contactless digital check-in, capture IDs, signatures, and payments before guests even set foot on property, and empowers staff to manage requests, assign tasks, and resolve issues from a tablet or smartphone. Seamless for your guests, seamless for your staff.
