Choosing between Aven Hospitality’s OTA Distribution and MaxiMojo hinges on the specific needs of your hotel. While both aim to streamline distribution and revenue management, they approach these goals differently, with Aven Hospitality offering a dedicated channel management platform and MaxiMojo providing a broader PMS solution with revenue optimization features. Ultimately, your decision depends on whether you prioritize a specialized channel manager or an integrated property management system.
Aven Hospitality’s OTA Distribution boasts a strong track record, with more recent reviews and a higher review count, making it the more reliable choice based on user feedback. MaxiMojo, despite lacking recent reviews and ratings, offers a different set of capabilities that may suit certain hotel profiles. Do you want a proven, highly-rated channel management tool or a versatile PMS with revenue features? Let’s explore further.
Aven Hospitality’s OTA Distribution is designed specifically for hotels seeking to centralize and automate their distribution across over 600 channels, including OTAs, bed banks, and tour operators. It addresses common pain points like manual updates, inventory errors, and disconnected systems, providing a comprehensive suite of features for managing rates, availability, and inventory.
MaxiMojo, on the other hand, offers a broader property management platform with some revenue management functionalities but lacks the extensive distribution network and dedicated channel management features of Aven Hospitality. Its focus is on operational efficiency through automation and analytics, rather than on optimizing multi-channel distribution.
The core divergence is that Aven Hospitality excels in managing large-scale distribution efforts, vital for hotels heavily reliant on OTA channels. MaxiMojo’s strength lies in operational automation and revenue insights, better suited for smaller properties or those looking for an all-in-one PMS solution. Are you primarily focused on distribution reach or comprehensive property management?
Edge: Aven Hospitality.
If your hotel needs a trusted, well-rated channel management system that seamlessly connects with multiple partners, Aven Hospitality is the clear choice. It’s especially suitable if your property operates in multiple regions or channels, given its 80 verified integrations and established presence across continents. Its high ease of use, onboarding, and customer support ratings—4.43/5, 4.2/5, and 4.06/5 respectively—indicate a reliable, mature platform.
MaxiMojo, lacking recent reviews and a significant user base, might appeal if your hotel prefers a single system combining PMS, revenue management, and automation. With no detailed pricing or integrations listed, and only three verified partners, it’s less proven in multi-channel distribution but could suit smaller or standalone properties looking for a straightforward management tool.
For hotels seeking proven distribution control with extensive partner connections, go with Aven Hospitality. If your focus is on integrated management with some revenue optimization, MaxiMojo may be worth exploring—but with caution due to the limited available data.
Edge: Aven Hospitality.
Aven Hospitality’s platform receives a high ease of use rating of 4.43/5, supported by onboarding ratings of 4.2/5 and positive reviews highlighting user-friendliness. Users find the interface intuitive and the onboarding process smooth, aiding staff adoption despite some challenges noted around customer support delays.
MaxiMojo’s usability is unverified, with no recent reviews or ratings available. Its lack of user feedback makes it difficult to assess how straightforward it is for your team to adopt or navigate. Given the absence of comparative data, we cannot confidently favor MaxiMojo in ease of use.
Edge: Aven Hospitality.
Aven Hospitality stands out with 14 unique features, including yield rules, derived rates, inventory management, channel self-mapping, 2-way real-time integrations, PMS connectivity, multi-lingual support, multi-currency, and integrated payments. These capabilities directly support sophisticated distribution and revenue strategies, making it ideal for larger or complex properties.
MaxiMojo offers no listed exclusive features, limiting its scope to basic PMS and revenue management functionalities. Its lack of detailed feature differentiation suggests it may not provide the advanced tools necessary for extensive distribution or revenue optimization.
For feature-rich distribution control, Aven Hospitality is the clear winner. MaxiMojo’s limited feature set makes it suitable only for simpler hotel operations.
Edge: Aven Hospitality.
Aven Hospitality’s support scores 4.06/5, with reviews noting responsiveness and management’s ongoing pursuit of improvements. However, some users report delays and communication issues, which are typical criticisms of larger systems. Still, it’s a more established support infrastructure with recent feedback.
MaxiMojo, lacking recent reviews or support ratings, provides no concrete data on customer service quality. This makes it difficult to judge its support effectiveness or responsiveness.
Given the available data, Aven Hospitality’s support is more reliable and proven, making it the preferable choice if customer service is a priority.
Edge: Aven Hospitality.
Aven Hospitality boasts 80 verified integrations, including major PMS and PMS partners like Visual Matrix, Profitroom, and Inntopia, plus many OTAs and tech vendors. This extensive network enables hotel operators to connect and synchronize data across most platforms effortlessly.
MaxiMojo has only 3 verified partners, with limited information on the types of integrations. Its narrower integration scope restricts flexibility for hotels requiring connectivity to multiple systems.
If extensive connectivity is critical, Aven Hospitality’s broad integration network makes it the obvious choice. MaxiMojo’s limited options make it less suitable for large, multi-system hotel operations.
Edge: Aven Hospitality.
Aven Hospitality’s recent reviews reveal a high level of satisfaction, with a 87% likelihood to recommend, and a score of 67.89 on the HT R Score. Hotels in the luxury, branded, and city center segments rate the platform favorably, though some express frustration over customer support.
MaxiMojo has no recent reviews or ratings, making it impossible to gauge hotel satisfaction. Without feedback, we cannot determine how well hoteliers perceive its value or usability.
Based on current data, Aven Hospitality is the more trusted and highly-rated option.
Edge: Aven Hospitality.
Aven Hospitality charges a flat monthly fee of $300, with no implementation or trial fees. Its transparent pricing model simplifies budgeting and planning, especially for larger properties.
MaxiMojo’s pricing details are unavailable, which could indicate a bespoke quote system or lack of transparency. This makes it difficult to assess value or compare directly.
Given the transparent and fixed pricing of Aven Hospitality, it offers better cost predictability. MaxiMojo’s unclear pricing makes it a less attractive option for budgeting.
Edge: Aven Hospitality.
Not ideal if your hotel is small, independent, or only needs basic channel management features. Also, if your primary focus is revenue optimization or property management in a single system, consider other solutions.
Not ideal if your hotel requires extensive multi-channel distribution or integration with numerous partners. Also, if your hotel relies on proven, highly-rated support or has complex distribution needs, MaxiMojo may fall short.
Aven Hospitality’s OTA Distribution excels as a dedicated channel management platform, with a proven track record, extensive integrations, and high user ratings. Its focus on multi-channel distribution makes it the go-to choice for hotels with diverse sales channels and complex inventory needs.
MaxiMojo offers an all-in-one PMS and revenue management solution, but with limited recent reviews and features. It may appeal to smaller hotels or properties seeking operational automation and AI-driven insights, but lacks the extensive distribution capabilities and proven support of Aven Hospitality.
For hotels prioritizing distribution reach, proven reliability, and comprehensive features, Aven Hospitality remains the better pick. If your hotel needs an integrated PMS with some revenue management, MaxiMojo could be suitable—yet its lack of recent validation warrants caution.
In conclusion, the clear leader based on current reviews, features, and integrations is Aven Hospitality. Its established presence, high satisfaction ratings, and extensive partner ecosystem make it the most reliable choice for hotels aiming for scalable, multi-channel distribution and robust support.

| 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. |

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. |
