Loop CXM specializes in omni-channel guest feedback with a focus on real-time service recovery and internal action management, making it well suited for full-service resorts that require rapid multi-department coordination. Revinate (Surveys) excels in customizable survey deployment, review aggregation, and integrated marketing, fitting a broad range of hotel types, especially those prioritizing reputation management and targeted guest engagement.
Both products address guest feedback collection and analysis but diverge in operational focus. Loop CXM enables immediate guest communication and ticketing workflows that reduce manual labor and improve response times, impacting labor costs and guest satisfaction directly. Revinate centralizes guest reviews from 100+ platforms, enabling hotels to manage online reputation and leverage guest data for marketing campaigns, thereby boosting revenue and repeat business.
If your property is a large resort with multiple venues and high guest interaction points, choose Loop CXM based on its proven use at properties like Brookstreet Hotel and Celtic Manor Resort, where multi-department ticketing and kiosk-based in-location surveys reduce phone traffic and enable quick service recovery. This is supported by Loop’s action management capabilities and multi-channel feedback collection, which are critical in complex operations.
If you operate a boutique, luxury, branded, or city-center hotel with a strong emphasis on online reputation and marketing-driven guest engagement, Revinate is the better choice. Its 4.6/5 overall rating across 149 reviews, including a diverse hotel segment user base, confirms its fit for properties requiring integrated PMS connections, segmented surveys, and comprehensive review management. Revinate’s marketing tools drive revenue through targeted email campaigns, with case studies showing up to 261% YoY revenue growth.
For smaller independents or limited service hotels, the data is thinner, but Revinate’s broader adoption in these segments indicates a more tested solution. Loop’s limited review volume and focus on resorts suggest caution outside large-scale operations.
Loop CXM scores 4/5 ease of use with onboarding rated 5/5, reflecting positive feedback on intuitive interfaces and quick setup at resorts, where staff rapidly adopt kiosk surveys and messaging. Reviewers highlight its polished interface and ease of guest communication without phone reliance.
Revinate rates higher for ease of use at 4.7/5 and onboarding 4.5/5, supported by 149 user reviews praising the intuitive UI, easy campaign creation, and straightforward integration with PMS systems. Users note that while setup can be complex, the platform’s design accommodates various team members effectively.
Given both products have strong but different strengths—Loop for front-line operational ease and Revinate for marketing and feedback management—the edge is even.
Edge: Even.
Revinate offers 10 unique hotel-relevant features absent in Loop CXM, including social review tracking, certified TripAdvisor review collection, segmented surveys, SMS text-based surveys and review collection, in-app email response, and review routing. These features empower hotels to manage online reputation across multiple platforms and engage guests pre-arrival and post-stay, changing workflows in marketing, guest relations, and reputation management.
Loop CXM’s unique capabilities center on its omni-channel feedback collection via kiosks, and real-time action management that automates ticket creation and guest staff messaging workflows. This changes operations by reducing manual guest request handling and enabling faster service recovery, critical for resorts with dispersed venues.
With Revinate’s 10 feature advantage over Loop’s zero unique features beyond the shared 13, the edge goes to Revinate for comprehensive guest survey and reputation management tools.
Edge: Revinate (Surveys).
Loop CXM rates customer support and onboarding at a perfect 5/5, with reviewers praising quick responses and the helpfulness of the team. One resort noted significant traction with guests due to the polished interface and great support in adoption.
Revinate scores 4.5/5 in both customer support and onboarding. Reviews frequently highlight friendly, available support and fast issue resolution. However, some users report occasional delays and desire more consistent responsiveness, especially during complex setups.
The difference is minor, and both products demonstrate strong support reputations. Edge: Even.
Loop CXM integrates with 10 verified partners including RoomKey PMS, Amadeus, Oracle Hospitality, and several specialized tools like Tripleseat and Flexkeeping, supporting operational workflows in resorts and multi-venue properties.
Revinate offers 99 verified integrations, encompassing all Loop partners plus extensive additional systems such as Priority Software, FLEXIPASS Keyless Access, RoomRaccoon, and apaleo GmbH. This breadth better supports hotels seeking a centralized platform integrating marketing, CRM, PMS, and keyless entry systems.
With nearly 10x more verified integrations and coverage across property management, marketing, and guest engagement platforms, Revinate holds a clear edge.
Edge: Revinate (Surveys).
Loop CXM has a 4.5/5 overall rating from a single review, limiting the reliability of its score. It is rated exclusively by resorts, where it scored 4.5/5.
Revinate holds a 4.6/5 overall rating across 149 reviews, with recent reviews confirming consistent satisfaction. The platform is highly rated by boutique hotels (4.6/5, 75 reviews), luxury hotels (4.5/5, 79 reviews), city-center hotels (4.6/5, 46 reviews), and resorts (4.5/5, 65 reviews). Limited service and budget hotels also maintain a 4.5/5 rating across 33 reviews, indicating broad appeal.
The review volume and segment diversity strongly favor Revinate as the higher-rated and more widely adopted solution.
Edge: Revinate (Surveys).
Loop CXM does not publish pricing or offer trials, and no freemium or monthly pricing structures are available. This opacity requires direct vendor contact for cost estimates, complicating budgeting.
Revinate publishes a base price of $100 with no freemium, monthly flat, or per-room pricing disclosed. No trial is offered, but transparent base pricing provides a starting point for budgeting.
Revinate’s published pricing offers more clarity for buyers.

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. Benbria has an HT Score of 0 and Revinate has 55. 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 →
