Choosing between CiHMS by CiHMS and Comanche PMS by Comanche International hinges on your hotel’s specific needs, operational complexity, and regional presence. Both systems aim to streamline property management, but CiHMS has more recent reviews, higher ratings, and a broader feature set tailored for modern, cloud-based hotel operations.
Given the review data and user feedback, CiHMS’s more extensive feature set and positive recent ratings make it the more reliable choice for hoteliers seeking a comprehensive, user-friendly PMS. But understanding their differences more deeply will help you decide which fits your hotel best.
Both CiHMS and Comanche PMS are designed to simplify hotel management, but they diverge significantly in their current market presence, user feedback, and feature offerings.
CiHMS, launched in 2018, is a cloud-based solution primarily serving Asia Pacific, the Middle East, and Africa, with an emphasis on ease of use, automation, and advanced reporting. It boasts a high HTScore of 81.25, a 4.9/5 rating for ease of use, and a 4.92/5 for support, backed by 101 reviews—more recent reviews reinforce its strengths, with a 98% likelihood to recommend. Its standout features include a channel manager, revenue management, integrated CRS, booking engine, and automation tools.
Comanche, founded in 2003, claims a broad global presence with over 900 clients, yet it has zero recent reviews and an HTScore of 0. Its feature set is less transparent, with no specific features or review ratings, which indicates a lack of recent user feedback. Without recent reviews, it’s challenging to gauge its current performance or user satisfaction.
In essence, CiHMS offers a current, well-supported solution with tangible features and positive user feedback, whereas Comanche’s lack of recent reviews and unclear feature set suggest it may not be as reliable or aligned with modern hotel needs. Would you prioritize a system with proven recent performance and features?
If your hotel needs a modern, cloud-based PMS with extensive automation, real-time reporting, and a high user satisfaction rate, go with CiHMS. Its features—like channel management, revenue management, integrated CRS, and a guest portal—are tailored for hotels aiming to streamline operations.
If your hotel requires a basic, perhaps on-premise system with limited reported user experience, or if you operate in regions where Comanche is more established without recent feedback, consider Comanche. However, given the lack of recent reviews and updates, CiHMS’s current reputation makes it a safer, more reliable choice for most hotels today.
For hoteliers prioritizing ease of use, integration, and support, CiHMS’s higher ratings (4.9/5 for ease, 4.92/5 support) and active review base strongly favor it. Comanche’s unknown current performance suggests it’s less suitable unless your hotel has specific legacy needs.
Based on available data, CiHMS’s ease of use is rated 4.9/5, supported by numerous reviews praising its intuitive interface and straightforward navigation. Users report that the system is stable, simple to learn, and accessible from multiple devices, with an onboarding rating of 4.84/5 indicating a smooth initial setup.
In contrast, Comanche PMS has no recent reviews or user ratings to compare. Its lack of current feedback makes it impossible to assess usability or onboarding quality today.
Edge: CiHMS
CiHMS offers 33 unique features, including a channel manager, revenue management, integrated CRS, booking engine, automated night audit, digital registration, and multi-currency support. It also integrates modules like spa & wellness, housekeeping, and guest profiles, fulfilling diverse operational needs.
Comanche International does not list specific features or modules publicly, and no unique functionalities are documented. The absence of detailed features and recent user reviews suggests it may lack the breadth and depth of CiHMS.
Edge: CiHMS
CiHMS’s customer support scores are outstanding, rated 4.92/5 based on recent reviews, with hoteliers praising professional, timely assistance and effective onboarding. Support is available 24/7, and users appreciate the responsiveness during implementation and daily operations.
No recent reviews, ratings, or testimonials are available for Comanche PMS, making it impossible to compare support quality directly. The lack of recent feedback raises concerns about its current support standards.
Edge: CiHMS
CiHMS integrates with 3 verified partners, including SiteMinder, DerbySoft, and Easyway. While it offers fewer integrations than some systems, these partnerships cover essential distribution and revenue channels.
Comanche International boasts 12 verified partners, including major players like Vertical Booking, STAAH, RateGain, and D-Edge, providing broader third-party connectivity. However, the actual integration quality and relevance depend on your hotel’s specific needs.
Edge: Comanche International
CiHMS’s review count (101 reviews) and recent positive feedback mean it’s more credibly rated today. Its overall HTScore of 81.25, with a 98% likelihood of recommendation, reflects strong satisfaction, especially among resorts and city hotels.
Comanche has no recent reviews or publicly available ratings, so it cannot be reliably rated today. The current data clearly favors CiHMS as the more trusted, well-reviewed option.
Edge: CiHMS
CiHMS is priced at a $900.00 base fee, with no freemium, monthly flat, or per-room charges listed. Its pricing model appears straightforward, but detailed packages or discounts are not specified.
Comanche does not publicly disclose pricing information, making direct comparison impossible. You’ll need to contact them directly for a quote, which may be a limiting factor in evaluating its value.

Not ideal if your hotel:
The core difference lies in current user satisfaction and feature richness. CiHMS has a proven, highly-rated, cloud-based platform with recent positive reviews, more features, and dedicated support, making it suitable for most modern hotels.
Choose CiHMS if your hotel values ease of use, automation, real-time insights, and regional support. Its extensive feature set and recent positive feedback make it a safer, more dependable choice today.
Opt for Comanche only if your hotel operates in specific regions where it’s established, has legacy systems, or requires custom integrations that are better suited to its platform—though the lack of recent reviews diminishes confidence in its current performance.
In conclusion, for most hotels seeking a reliable, well-supported PMS with current positive feedback and comprehensive features, CiHMS is the recommended choice.
Property Management Systems 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.

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. CiHMS has an HT Score of 81 and Comanche International has 0. 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 →
