Choosing the right upselling software can significantly impact your hotel’s revenue and guest experience. Both Aiva Distribution Voucher System by Myma.ai and Duve Upselling aim to enhance your direct sales and guest engagement, but they differ in scope, features, and user reception. Your decision hinges on whether you prioritize a straightforward voucher system or a comprehensive guest communication platform. Are you ready to explore which fits your hotel’s needs best?
Both products target revenue growth but approach it differently. Aiva focuses solely on creating and selling digital vouchers, giving your hotel control over promotions and gift card sales. Duve offers a full-suite guest engagement platform, combining upselling, messaging, and automation to maximize revenue across multiple touchpoints.
While Aiva emphasizes branded voucher sales with real-time editing and easy payment integrations, Duve’s strength lies in automating guest interactions and offering tailored upsell opportunities. Does your hotel need a dedicated voucher solution or a broader guest experience tool?
If your hotel needs to boost ancillary revenue through personalized upselling, Duve is the clear choice. Its extensive feature set—including guest messaging, upsell automation, and integrations—caters to hotels looking for a dynamic, revenue-focused platform.
On the other hand, if your primary goal is to sell branded vouchers and pre-paid experiences directly on your website, Aiva’s streamlined voucher system is more suitable. It’s ideal for hotels that want simple, branded digital gift card offerings with real-time deal management.
In summary, choose Duve for a multi-channel upselling engine, and Aiva if your focus is on expanding gift card and voucher sales.
Duve scores a 4.7/5 for ease of use based on recent reviews, praised for its intuitive interface, smooth onboarding, and quick staff adoption. Guests find the guest app straightforward, and hotel teams appreciate the minimal training needed. Reviewers highlight that Duve’s setup is complex initially but quickly becomes manageable, with many noting a positive impact on operational efficiency.
In contrast, Myma.ai’s interface is not rated, and reviews do not detail usability, indicating limited engagement or feedback. Support and onboarding ratings are also absent, suggesting less confidence in its ease of adoption.
Edge: Duve.
Duve offers a broad array of 25 features, including guest messaging, automated replies, mobile check-in, digital payment capture, guest segmentation, and marketplace services—features that are missing in Aiva. Its capabilities to personalize upsells and automate guest communications stand out as comprehensive.
Aiva’s unique feature is gift vouchers and prepaid experiences, limited to seven core offerings and one additional exclusive feature. It lacks the advanced automation, multi-channel communication, and guest profiling that Duve provides.
Edge: Duve.
Duve’s support and onboarding ratings are 4.65/5, with reviewers frequently praising their quick, proactive support and professional assistance. Many describe Duve’s support as integral to successful implementation, despite some initial setup challenges.
Myma.ai’s reviews are nonexistent regarding support, and its overall rating is zero, indicating either a lack of reviews or limited public feedback. This absence suggests that Duve’s support infrastructure is more reliable and better documented.
Edge: Duve.
Duve integrates with 65 verified partners, including major PMS and booking systems like SiteMinder, RMS, and Cloudbeds. It offers extensive integrations for contactless and automated guest experiences, making it flexible for large operations.
Myma.ai connects with 13 verified partners, including Google, Facebook, and Revinate, but lacks the breadth of Duve’s third-party integrations. Its limited integration scope restricts its utility in complex tech stacks.
Edge: Duve.
Duve boasts a 4.79/5 rating from 270 reviews, with recent feedback emphasizing its effectiveness, ease of use, and support. Property types like luxury hotels, boutique, and chain brands rate Duve highly for its versatility and ROI.
Myma.ai’s rating is 0/5 based on no reviews, offering no recent user feedback to gauge satisfaction. The volume and recency of Duve’s reviews establish it as the more trusted choice.
Edge: Duve.
Aiva’s pricing starts at $100 per month, with no free trial or visible tier options, making it affordable for smaller hotels focused solely on voucher sales. Duve’s base price is $900 per month, with no trial available, positioning it as a premium, enterprise-level solution.
While Aiva is more budget-friendly, Duve’s larger investment reflects its extensive features and scalability. Your choice depends on whether your hotel prefers a straightforward voucher platform or a comprehensive upselling system.
Not ideal if your hotel needs extensive guest communication tools, automation, or integrated upselling features.
Not ideal if your hotel’s primary goal is just selling vouchers or gift cards without broader guest engagement.
At its core, Duve offers a comprehensive platform built to enhance guest interactions, automate operations, and drive revenue through multiple channels. Its extensive features, proven support, and high user ratings make it suitable for hotels that want a broad, adaptable guest experience solution.
If your hotel needs a flexible, feature-rich upselling system and robust integrations, Duve's high review count and recent feedback confirm its status. Conversely, if your focus is solely on digital gift vouchers and prepaid experiences, Aiva’s straightforward approach makes it a viable, lower-cost alternative—though it lacks the automation and guest engagement depth Duve provides.
In the end, for hotels aiming to grow revenue through personalized, automated guest interactions, Duve is the clear choice. If simple voucher sales are your only objective, Aiva can fulfill that need, but expect limited support and functionality beyond basic gift card offerings.

The clearest negative theme is pricing, especially for smaller properties and long-term customers.

The HT Score is a composite ranking that considers 4 criteria groups and over a dozen variables to help hoteliers objectively compare hotel technology products. Myma.ai has an HT Score of 0 and Duve has 98. Here is how the score is calculated.
| 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. |
Customer ratings and reviews are by far the most important factor in the HT Score algorithm. HTR does not accept payment for higher rankings. All reviews are verified — only hotel industry practitioners with confirmed affiliations can submit ratings. View full HT Score methodology →
