Choosing the right property management system (PMS) for your hotel can significantly impact your daily operations, guest experience, and revenue. Both Acomos by Acomos and Stayntouch by Stayntouch aim to serve this purpose, but they diverge in features, user experience, and market presence. Your decision hinges on which product aligns best with your hotel's size, complexity, and growth ambitions.
While Acomos has a long-standing presence and a focus on simplicity, Stayntouch offers a modern, cloud-based platform with extensive integrations and advanced features. With more recent reviews and a larger user base, Stayntouch’s platform appears to be the more robust choice for most hotels.
Both Acomos and Stayntouch are designed to streamline hotel operations, but they cater to different hotel types and operational needs. Acomos, with its focus on small to medium properties, emphasizes ease of use and operational clarity. Conversely, Stayntouch targets hotels seeking scalability, multi-property management, and advanced technological features.
Acomos’s limited review count (only 5 reviews) and its sole recent feedback make it harder to assess current performance confidently. In contrast, Stayntouch boasts over 300 reviews, with 26 in the last six months, indicating ongoing user engagement and recent product stability.
The core problem both aim to solve is simplifying reservations, check-ins, and daily management. However, Acomos’s ratings are modest (overall 3.1/5), with notable issues in customer support and onboarding. Stayntouch, rated 4.56/5 overall, impresses with its ease of use, support, and continuous updates.
Are you willing to prioritize recent, active user feedback over legacy stability? If so, Stayntouch’s current momentum makes it the more compelling option.
If your hotel needs a scalable, multi-property system with extensive integrations, go with Stayntouch. Its broad feature set (30 unique features) and high user ratings in large, independent, and branded hotels make it ideal for growth-focused properties.
If your hotel is small, seeks straightforward reservation management, and prioritizes simplicity, Acomos might suffice—assuming your team values the ease of use over advanced capabilities. However, with only five reviews and a low recent review count, its relevance diminishes unless your operation is very basic.
For hotels aiming for a modern, flexible platform with remote access, contactless features, and strong third-party integrations, Stayntouch is the definitive choice. Conversely, if you prefer a traditional, uncomplicated PMS with core functionalities and minimal complexity, Acomos could be suitable—though it’s less supported by recent feedback.
Stayntouch’s user interface scores 4.7/5, praised for its intuitive screens, mobile app, and ease of onboarding. Reviewers indicate new staff learn the system quickly, and support is rated 4.68/5, highlighting effective training and responsiveness.
Acomos’s ease of use is rated 3.5/5, with reviews describing it as “very easy to learn and use,” but some users mention limitations like the inability to copy bookings easily. Its onboarding ratings are low at 2.63/5, with one reviewer criticizing its support attitude and system bugs.
Edge: Stayntouch.
Stayntouch offers 30 features exclusive to its platform, including mobile check-in, guest app, real-time reporting, and automated space optimization—features vital for modern, guest-centric hotels. Its shared features total 19, with some overlap in reservation and housekeeping management.
Acomos provides 6 unique features such as guest CRM, guest profiles, EPoS, gift vouchers, native email marketing, and online booking integrations—useful for small hotels with specific needs. However, its feature set falls short of the breadth and depth of Stayntouch’s solutions.
Given the larger feature set and focus on mobile, automation, and multi-property management, Stayntouch holds the advantage for hotels seeking comprehensive, scalable tech.
Edge: Stayntouch.
Stayntouch’s support is rated 4.68/5, with reviews emphasizing quick, friendly, and thorough assistance. Users mention that onboarding was smooth, and the support team goes above and beyond to help resolve issues efficiently.
Acomos’s support scores 3.3/5, with a notable negative review citing poor attitude, system bugs, and delayed historical data delivery. Some users report frustration with customer service responsiveness and system reliability.
Based on recent reviews, Stayntouch consistently delivers superior support, critical for operational stability and staff training.
Edge: Stayntouch.
Stayntouch integrates with 188 verified partners, including major players like RoomPriceGenie, STAAH, and SiteMinder. Its open API and extensive third-party ecosystem enable hotels to tailor their tech stack easily.
Acomos’s integrations are limited to just 2 verified partners, including SiteMinder, and a few others. Its narrower ecosystem constrains how much your hotel can customize or expand its technology.
If integrations are a priority—especially with leading revenue management, channel management, and guest experience tools—Stayntouch’s expansive partner network clearly wins.
Edge: Stayntouch.
Stayntouch impresses with a 9.35/10 NPS score and a 94% likelihood to recommend, reflecting high hotel satisfaction. The reviews highlight its ease of use, strong support, and positive impact on guest satisfaction, exemplified by a hotel that saw a 20-point surge in guest satisfaction.
In contrast, Acomos’s NPS is just 6.4/5, and only five reviews exist, with some very negative feedback about customer support and system bugs. Its limited recent review activity suggests less active user engagement.
Given the volume and recency of reviews, Stayntouch’s higher ratings make it the preferred choice.
Edge: Stayntouch.
Acomos does not publish explicit pricing details, implying a customized quote approach. Its lack of a free trial or transparent pricing model may deter smaller hotels or those seeking clear cost expectations.
Stayntouch charges a flat $800 monthly fee, with no implementation or setup charges, and offers a straightforward pricing model. This transparency simplifies budgeting, especially for mid-sized and larger properties.
If predictable, transparent pricing is a priority, Stayntouch offers a clear advantage.
Not ideal if:
Acomos suits smaller, independent hotels focused on core reservation and operational functions without the need for extensive customization.
Not ideal if:
Stayntouch is best for hotels aiming to modernize operations, enhance guest interaction, and grow across multiple locations.
The core difference lies in their technological maturity and market focus: Acomos offers a more traditional, limited feature set with less recent user engagement, while Stayntouch emphasizes modern, cloud-based solutions with extensive integrations and high user satisfaction.
For hotels prioritizing ease of use, recent positive reviews, and scalable features, Stayntouch is the clear choice. It consistently outperforms Acomos in recent ratings, support, and functionality, making it more suitable for most hotels aiming to grow and deliver superior guest experiences.
Choose Acomos if you need a basic, straightforward PMS for a small property with minimal tech requirements. However, for future-proof, feature-rich management and better user support, Stayntouch is the better investment.

| Criteria Group | Weight | What It Measures |
|---|---|---|
| Customer Ratings & Reviews |
|
How highly do users recommend this product? Ratings Score, Review Volume, Share of Voice, Review Depth, Review Recency, Success Stories ▾ The most heavily weighted factor. Analyzes average satisfaction ratings (likelihood to recommend, ease of use, support, ROI), total review count relative to category peers, review recency (at least 20 reviews in the trailing 6 months), and share of voice across unique hotel clients to detect selection bias. |
| Partner Ecosystem |
|
How highly do tech partners recommend this company? Partner Recommendations, Integration Quantity, Integration Quality ▾ Evaluates partner recommendations as expert votes of confidence, the number of verified integrations, and ecosystem quality — the average HT Scores of integration partners. Products with higher-quality integration ecosystems are more likely to deliver a connected tech stack. |
| Customer Centricity |
|
How customer-centric is this organization? Certified Support, Review Consistency, Profile Completeness ▾ Assesses whether the company has earned HTR Customer Support Certification, maintains consistent review collection over time (an indicator of feedback-driven culture), and keeps product profiles complete with capabilities, screenshots, pricing, and features. |
| Reach, Staying Power & Resources |
|
How extensive is this company's reach and resourcing? Geographic Reach, Staying Power, Company Resources, Trending Score ▾ Measures global presence (countries and regions served), years in business as a stability proxy, team headcount as a resource proxy, and a trending score based on trailing-twelve-month buyer inquiries, reviews, partner recommendations, and press activity. |
