Choose Cloudbeds if…
- You sell heavily on OTAs and need a channel manager today, not when we launch it.
- You want to charge cards online from the engine.
- You run several properties in several countries and need a 450-integration marketplace.

Roombir vs Cloudbeds
Cloudbeds is the most complete system in the independent segment at global scale: channel manager, payments, marketing and an analytical AI layer, in more than 150 countries. Roombir is smaller, newer and built for Latin America, with two things Cloudbeds does not publish —the price and the lock-in— and two things Cloudbeds has and we don't yet: channel manager and payment gateway.
Choose Roombir if…
- You want to know what it costs before talking to a salesperson, and no lock-in.
- Your problem is direct sales: inquiries get lost in the chat and there is no website or engine of your own.
- You sell in pesos with an unstable exchange rate, or mix cabins with rooms and no system lets you.

Frequently asked questions
Is Cloudbeds better than roombir?
In coverage, yes: it has a channel manager, payments and 450 integrations we don't have. In transparency and focus, we think not: its price is requested through a form, and revenue and the website are separate modules. If your problem today is OTA distribution, Cloudbeds. If it is direct bookings and knowing what you will pay, roombir.
How much does Cloudbeds cost?
It does not publish it. Its pricing page has four plans —Flex, One, Experience and Enterprise— and all four end in “Request a quote”. The numbers floating around the internet are third-party estimates, not Cloudbeds', which is why we don't repeat them here.
Can I migrate from Cloudbeds to roombir?
Yes, and we do the room and rate loading with you at no charge. Worth knowing first: if you depend on its channel manager, in Roombir that OTA sync is done by hand today. It is in the product status.
