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 Hotelogix is the better pick.
Hotelogix is an established cloud hotel PMS that started in India and now serves hotels in many countries. It is priced per room per month, with extra modules (such as distribution and accounting) and interfaces available on top.
StayDesk is a newer cloud PMS built only for independent resorts, hotels, homestays and guest houses in India. It has flat prices in rupees by room count, and puts GST billing, Aadhaar check-in, expenses, inventory, quotations and guest CRM in one product.
Both run in the cloud and work for small and mid-size properties. The differences are in pricing, India-specific features and how far you need integrations to go.
