The report card
Best for signatures and card payments for hotels
Sertifi bundles contracts, e-signatures, card and ACH payments and card authorizations for hotels, venues and travel firms. The only free plan lets hotels receive card details from a travel company, with no signatures. Paid packages are quoted by sales, and it is built for hospitality.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | Paid packages are priced through sales and the page shows no amounts, so it sits in the middle with no evidence either way. |
| Free plan and trial | D | The free plan only receives travel company card authorizations, with no signatures or payments, so it does not do the signing job. |
| Features | C | Contracts, e-signatures, card and ACH payments, authorizations and hospitality system links. It is built for hotels, not as a general signing tool. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record, and packages are set up with an account manager. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web only, with Salesforce, Stripe, Oracle OPERA Cloud, Infor, Amadeus, Okta, Zuora and Shift4, plus an open API for travel companies. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who Sertifi is for
- Fits if you run a hotel and take deposits and group contracts
- Makes sense if your property management system is on its integration list
Who it is not for
- Not for you if you are outside hospitality, since it is not a general signing tool
- Watch out: the free plan covers receiving card authorizations only, not signatures
- Watch out: paid packages show no prices and need a quote
- Tight if you are a brand or management company, as packages are customised with an account manager
Good to know

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Your call
You could make the core of Sertifi for yourself: documents and forms.
What you would give up is listed below. Whether that is worth the price is your call.
What you could make
- Documents and forms: an app builder makes these well.
- It runs in a browser, which is where something home-made would run too.
What you could not
- It plugs into other products, Salesforce, Stripe and Oracle OPERA Cloud among them, and has an API.
What this rests on. Sertifi’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
