Which property management software suits your resort, hotel or homestay in India? A side-by-side look at pricing, GST billing, OTA sync, guest check-in and support, including where eZee is the better pick.
eZee Absolute is a well-known cloud hotel PMS from eZee Technosys (now part of Yanolja Cloud Solution), used by hotels around the world. It sits inside a wider eZee product family: a channel manager, a booking engine and a restaurant POS are separate eZee products that connect to the PMS.
StayDesk is a newer cloud PMS built only for independent resorts, hotels, homestays and guest houses in India. It puts bookings, GST billing, Aadhaar check-in, expenses, inventory, quotations and guest CRM in one product, with flat prices in rupees shown on our website.
Both are good software. The right one depends on your property's size, where it is, and how much you want in one place. Here's how they compare.

Yes. StayDesk Channel Manager is an add-on that keeps rates and availability in sync with Booking.com, Airbnb, MakeMyTrip, Goibibo, Agoda, Expedia and more. Calendar sync (iCal) is free on every plan.
Yes. Export your upcoming bookings, guests, rooms and rates from eZee, and our team helps you bring them into StayDesk. You can run both side by side until you're comfortable.
StayDesk is built for independent properties in India up to about 80 rooms, with owner access across multiple properties. Larger groups that need deep central-reservation features or many third-party integrations may be better served by a larger global PMS such as eZee.
Not yet. StayDesk is built around INR, GST and Aadhaar. If your property is outside India, a global PMS like eZee is the better choice today.
