Cloudbeds PMS and eviivo Suite™ both address the core challenge of property management by centralizing reservations, channel management, guest communications, and billing in a cloud platform. They reduce overbooking risks, manual work, and operational friction for hotels. However, Cloudbeds stands out for properties looking for a unified, scalable system integrating PMS, channel manager, and booking engine with advanced automation and revenue management. eviivo Suite™ fits smaller to mid-sized operators and multi-property managers who prioritize ease of use, responsive onboarding, and mobile access.
Cloudbeds serves a broader global footprint with over 150 countries and 208 verified integrations, supporting diverse segments from hostels to boutiques and resorts. eviivo Suite™ is more regionally concentrated in 23 countries with 35 integrations, focusing on vacation rentals, B&Bs, and small hotels. Both solve operational complexity and booking channel synchronization but diverge in scalability, integration depth, and advanced revenue features.
If your property is a small to medium independent hotel, hostel, or boutique aiming for growth and looking for a single platform to manage PMS, channel management, and booking engine with automation for rates, payments, and guest communications, Cloudbeds is the stronger fit. This is supported by 1420 reviews, with a 4.8/5 rating in the last six months across diverse segments including 586 Bed & Breakfasts and 577 Boutique Hotels. Cloudbeds’ extensive integrations and AI-driven revenue tools specifically benefit properties seeking dynamic pricing and multi-property scalability.
If you operate a vacation rental portfolio, small B&B, or a multi-property group prioritizing simplicity, mobile management, and strong onboarding, eviivo Suite™ is a compelling choice. Its 230 reviews, with a 4.1/5 rating in the last six months, show particular strength in vacation rentals (27% of users), B&Bs (28%), and smaller multi-property setups. eviivo’s mobile app and AI-powered guest messaging enhance remote management and guest service for smaller teams. Its fewer but focused integrations suit properties valuing straightforward channel synchronization over revenue optimization.
For larger hotels or those needing advanced revenue management, Cloudbeds’ feature set and integration ecosystem provide measurable commercial benefits. For smaller operators wanting fast setup, mobile control, and user-friendly workflows, eviivo Suite™ offers responsive support and intuitive tools.
Cloudbeds and eviivo Suite™ have nearly identical ease of use ratings: 4.6/5 for Cloudbeds and 4.5/5 for eviivo, with onboarding scores of 4.5 and 4.4 respectively. Reviewers consistently describe Cloudbeds as intuitive and simple to train, citing reduced front-desk friction and straightforward workflows for reservations, housekeeping, and check-in. Users praise its clear calendar views and drag-and-drop reservation management.
eviivo’s ease of use is highlighted by its visual navigation and mobile app, which allows desk staff and owners to manage properties remotely with minimal training. Many users note the platform’s simplicity for daily tasks like booking flow and property settings. eviivo’s onboarding receives strong praise for responsive, hands-on support that reduces internal burden.
Both platforms score similarly in adoption among non-technical staff and speed of training. Cloudbeds suits teams needing scalable, all-in-one workflows, while eviivo excels in mobile and multi-property ease. Edge: Even.
Cloudbeds offers 64 total hotel-relevant features compared to eviivo’s 51 shared features; eviivo has no features uniquely absent from Cloudbeds. Unique Cloudbeds features include:
eviivo’s feature set lacks these advanced PMS and operational modules, focusing instead on core booking, guest messaging, and channel management without specialized property operations tools.
Cloudbeds’ unique features enable streamlined operations for front desk, revenue managers, and housekeeping, reducing manual effort and enhancing guest experience. eviivo’s strengths lie in practical multi-property management and mobile access but without Cloudbeds’ depth of operational automation and revenue intelligence. Edge: Cloudbeds PMS.
Both platforms have a customer support rating of 4.4/5 and onboarding scores within 0.1 points, indicating parity. Cloudbeds support is described as knowledgeable and collaborative with strong communication, though some users report slower live phone response and reliance on chat and ticketing for urgent issues. Onboarding is praised as thorough, helping staff adapt quickly.
eviivo users emphasize highly responsive, proactive, and helpful support that reduces internal workload, particularly during setup. Reviewers cite hands-on assistance from named team members and fast resolution of issues. Some feedback notes challenges during forced system migrations but overall positive support experiences.
Neither product decisively outperforms the other in support quality; both offer strong, dependable customer service tailored to hotel needs. Edge: Even.
Cloudbeds leads with 208 verified partner integrations versus eviivo’s 35, sharing 23 common partners such as Tripadvisor, RoomPriceGenie, GuestRevu, and Hotelchamp. Cloudbeds uniquely integrates with key hotel technology providers including AdsHotel, FLEXIPASS Keyless Mobile Access, ManCloud, Sirvoy, and HiJiffy, enabling advanced access control, mobile keys, and specialized operational tools.
eviivo’s unique integrations include Vikey S.r.l (smart locks), KeyNest (key exchange), Profitroom, and ChargeAutomation, which serve guest access and payments but in a narrower scope.
Cloudbeds’ broader ecosystem supports properties seeking flexible, scalable technology stacks with real-time 2-way connections critical for multi-channel distribution and revenue management. eviivo’s integrations suit smaller portfolios needing practical channel and guest access solutions.
Edge: Cloudbeds PMS.
Both products hold a 4.6/5 overall rating, but Cloudbeds’ 1420 reviews versus eviivo’s 230 provide a more robust data set. Recent reviews favor Cloudbeds with a 4.8/5 rating over 180 reviews in the last six months, while eviivo’s recent rating dropped to 4.1/5 over 25 reviews, suggesting recent challenges or changes impacting satisfaction.
Cloudbeds is rated consistently across segments: Bed & Breakfast & Inns (4.6/5, 586 reviews), Boutique Hotels (4.6/5, 577 reviews), and Hostels (4.6/5, 305 reviews). eviivo scores highest in Bed & Breakfasts (4.7/5, 111 reviews) and Vacation Rentals (4.7/5, 78 reviews), but has limited reviews in key hotel segments with fewer than 10 reviews, reducing representativeness.
Cloudbeds’ larger review volume and recent higher rating indicate stronger overall satisfaction and reliability, particularly for independents and small groups. eviivo’s recent ratings suggest some user concerns despite a solid overall score.
Edge: Cloudbeds PMS.
Neither Cloudbeds nor eviivo offer freemium or per-room monthly pricing. Cloudbeds has a base price of $600.00 and eviivo $700.00, both without implementation fees or flat monthly rates. Neither product publishes trial options.
Cloudbeds is marginally less expensive at base price but pricing transparency is limited beyond base figures. Both platforms require direct vendor engagement for full pricing details. Neither offers typical per-room or tiered pricing models common in PMS software.

Not ideal if:
Cloudbeds PMS and eviivo Suite™ both unify property management and channel distribution, but Cloudbeds serves hotels seeking a powerful, scalable, and data-driven all-in-one platform, while eviivo targets smaller operations and multi-property groups focusing on ease of use and mobile access.

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. Cloudbeds has an HT Score of 100 and eviivo has 88. 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 →
