Which one is for you
Pick Beds24 if
- Fits if you run a mix of rentals, B&B rooms or a small hotel and want to pay per room
- Works for agencies that manage properties for several owners
Look elsewhere if
- Watch out: prices are in euros, and top-ups under €50 carry a small handling fee
- Pricey if you link many channels, as each room type on each channel is €0.55 a month on top of the room fee
- Watch out: extra logins are €2 a month, your own subdomain €19 a month, SMS €0.10 each and onboarding from €79
- Not for you if you want a normal subscription: you top up credit like a phone, and the account stops after the trial without it
Pick Zeevou if
- Fits if you want a free booking system and website before paying for channels
- Works for small managers who can start on iCal sync and upgrade later
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you need channel sync from day one, because that starts on paid Growth
- Pricey if your portfolio is large, since per-unit prices fall only with volume discounts we can't see
- Watch out: prices are in pounds and the page shows both a list price and a lower figure
- Tight if you want a trial, since there's none, only a 30-day money-back guarantee
- Watch out: annual plans are a 12-month commitment, and guided onboarding starts at 100 pounds

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
