Choosing between AutoClerk’s Web Booking Engine and Blastness’s AI Booking Engine hinges on your hotel's specific needs. Both products aim to increase direct bookings and streamline online distribution, but they diverge significantly in features, user experience, and market presence. AutoClerk offers a longstanding legacy with integrated revenue management, while Blastness is a newer, feature-rich platform praised for its ease of use and high customer satisfaction. Which aligns better with your hotel’s priorities?
AutoClerk’s Web Booking Engine has been a staple in hospitality for decades, offering a web-based solution integrated with property management systems. Its review count is currently zero, indicating limited recent user feedback, and its ratings are absent, making its current performance hard to assess. Conversely, Blastness boasts 118 recent reviews, with a near-perfect 9.81/10 NPS score and a 98% likelihood to recommend, reflecting strong current user confidence.
AutoClerk’s absence of recent reviews and low ratings suggest a possible decline or stagnation, while Blastness’s recent, positive feedback highlights ongoing product improvements. If your hotel prioritizes a platform with active user validation, Blastness stands out. Do you prefer a historically established platform, or one with proven ongoing user satisfaction?
If your hotel needs an established, possibly more traditional solution with integrated revenue management and property management capabilities, AutoClerk might appeal—though its recent review scarcity makes this uncertain. For hotels seeking a highly rated, modern booking engine with extensive features, dynamic pricing, and strong customer support, Blastness is the clear choice.
Blastness’s high ease-of-use rating (4.89/5), extensive features (38 exclusive tools), and recent positive reviews make it ideal for mid-sized hotels and resorts aiming for increased direct bookings. If your hotel is smaller or wants a platform with a proven track record of customer satisfaction, Blastness is the better fit. For large chains or hotels needing deep integrations with specific PMS/ RMS, evaluate whether AutoClerk’s integrations meet your needs.
AutoClerk’s user experience ratings are non-existent, with no recent reviews to gauge ease of use, onboarding, or support. This suggests limited recent focus on user experience, or a possible lack of active users providing feedback. In contrast, Blastness scores a remarkable 4.89 out of 5 for ease of use, with onboarding ratings nearly identical at 4.82/5. Reviewers describe Blastness as intuitive and reliable, with a supportive onboarding process.
Given the current data, it’s evident Blastness provides a superior user experience and smoother onboarding. Edge: Blastness.
AutoClerk offers no unique features beyond its core property management and booking functionalities, with a total of zero distinct features highlighted in the data. Blastness, on the other hand, offers 38 features including mobile responsiveness, special offers, urgency messaging, multi-lingual support, conversion rate reports, integrations with Google Hotel Ads and TripAdvisor, and advanced tools like A/B testing and booking abandonment recapture.
Blastness’s comprehensive feature set allows your team to customize and optimize the booking process extensively, unlike AutoClerk’s limited scope. Edge: Blastness.
AutoClerk’s customer support ratings are absent, with no recent reviews providing insight into support quality or onboarding. This absence raises concerns about ongoing support effectiveness or recent customer experiences. Meanwhile, Blastness’s support and onboarding ratings are both 4.89/5, with reviews citing responsive, helpful, and ongoing assistance.
Many Blastness users note that support is quick and effective, although some mention room for 24/7 availability. Given recent feedback, Blastness clearly outperforms AutoClerk in support. Edge: Blastness.
AutoClerk integrates with 8 verified partners, including SiteMinder, Cendyn, and Akia, but its limited partner network suggests fewer options for complex integrations. Blastness boasts 15 verified integrations, including prominent partners like Oracle Hospitality and hotelcube, and shares a key integration with Duetto.
The broader, more modern integration ecosystem of Blastness makes it more adaptable to your existing systems. Edge: Blastness.
AutoClerk’s review count is zero, and there's no recent data to evaluate hotel satisfaction. Conversely, Blastness has 118 recent reviews, with a high overall rating and a 98% likelihood to recommend. Its reviews span various hotel types, including city center hotels, resorts, and boutique properties, with consistent praise for ease of use and functionality.
Given the recent, high-volume positive feedback, Blastness is clearly favored by hoteliers. Edge: Blastness.
AutoClerk’s pricing details are not provided, which may suggest a customized quote or a less transparent pricing model. Blastness also does not list explicit prices, but both products do not charge implementation fees or subscriptions upfront; pricing appears to be on a per-case or negotiated basis.
Without concrete figures, your best option is to request quotes from both vendors based on your property’s size and needs to compare actual costs.
Not ideal if you require extensive modern features, high user satisfaction, or a platform with recent positive reviews. AutoClerk may struggle in dynamic, competitive markets needing rapid innovation.
Not ideal if your hotel has very niche needs outside Blastness’s current feature set or operates in regions where Blastness currently lacks regional support. Smaller properties with limited budgets may also want to evaluate costs carefully.
AutoClerk has a legacy and an integrated ecosystem, but its current review scarcity and lack of recent feedback make it less appealing. Blastness stands out with extensive recent reviews, high satisfaction scores, and a feature-rich, easy-to-use platform that actively supports hotel revenue growth.
If your hotel values proven, recent user satisfaction, and a broad feature set, Blastness is the clear choice. If you prioritize long-term stability and deep system integration, and can verify AutoClerk’s features meet your needs, it might still fit—but recent validation favors Blastness.
For most hotels looking to boost direct bookings and operational efficiency today, Blastness offers a more reliable, user-approved solution.
Booking Engine pricing is rarely straightforward. Here is what we know from each vendor's public pricing data. Always request a custom quote for your property size.

| 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. |
