Choosing between Cloudbeds PMS by Cloudbeds and Hospitality Software by Acigrup hinges on your hotel’s specific needs. Cloudbeds is a well-established system with over 1,000 recent reviews, consistently rated above 4.6/5, while Acigrup offers a less proven, less reviewed alternative with no available review data. Both aim to streamline operations, but Cloudbeds’ extensive features and proven track record make it the more trustworthy choice for most hoteliers.
Cloudbeds and Acigrup both address core hotel management challenges like reservations, guest communication, and operational efficiency. Cloudbeds, with its 1071 reviews and recent activity, demonstrates a mature, feature-rich platform supported by a global user base. Acigrup, however, has no reviews, no recent user feedback, and limited information on its capabilities, making it difficult to gauge its effectiveness or reliability.
Cloudbeds offers a unified, cloud-based PMS with over 64 exclusive features, including a channel manager, booking engine, revenue management, and contactless check-in. Acigrup’s offerings are less transparent, with no publicly available features list or demonstrated integrations, raising concerns about its depth and scalability. So, do you want a solution with proven results and extensive capabilities, or are you willing to risk less support and fewer features with Acigrup?
If your hotel needs a trusted, scalable platform with a proven track record, go with Cloudbeds. Its high user ratings—4.63/5 overall and 4.61/5 in ease of use—alongside a comprehensive suite of over 64 features, make it ideal for hotels seeking reliability, extensive integrations, and global support.
If, however, your property has very basic needs or is exploring new software options without a preference for proven results, Acigrup might seem appealing. Still, the lack of reviews, features, and market presence makes it a risky choice for hotels aiming for operational stability and growth. For most hoteliers, Cloudbeds’ demonstrated success outweighs the potential uncertainty of Acigrup.
Cloudbeds earns a 4.61/5 ease-of-use rating, with many reviews citing its intuitive, user-friendly interface and smooth onboarding. Its mobile app and cloud platform allow your staff to manage operations from anywhere, with a support team praised for quick, attentive assistance.
Acigrup’s usability details are unavailable, and with no reviews or user feedback, it’s impossible to assess how easily your team could adopt and operate the system. Given Cloudbeds’ extensive positive feedback and clear interface, it clearly has the edge here.
Cloudbeds’ platform includes over 64 exclusive features—such as a channel manager, revenue management, online check-in, automated night audit, guest CRM, and integrated payment processing—none of which are claimed by Acigrup. Cloudbeds also supports multi-lingual, multi-currency operations, and offers an extensive marketplace of integrations.
Acigrup’s features are not publicly listed, and it provides no evidence of comparable functionality. Without specific capabilities or user validation, Acigrup’s feature set appears limited. The clear advantage goes to Cloudbeds, especially for properties seeking a comprehensive, ready-to-use PMS.
Cloudbeds maintains a support rating of 4.41/5, with many reviews highlighting its prompt, reliable, and helpful customer service—especially during onboarding and troubleshooting. Clients consistently mention the support team’s responsiveness as a key factor in their satisfaction.
Acigrup offers no publicly available support ratings, testimonials, or case studies, making it impossible to assess service quality. For a hotelier prioritizing dependable support, Cloudbeds’ proven reputation is a significant advantage.
Cloudbeds boasts over 190 verified integration partners, including major booking channels, payment gateways, and third-party solutions. This extensive network enables seamless connectivity with tools like QuickBooks, PayPal, and a multitude of OTAs, enhancing operational efficiency.
Acigrup has no publicly documented integrations, and no confirmed partner list. This significantly limits its ability to connect with existing systems, making Cloudbeds the clear choice for hotels needing flexible, reliable integrations.
Cloudbeds’ user reviews, totaling over a thousand in the past six months, consistently praise its ease of use, reliability, and excellent support. Its 4.63/5 overall rating and 91% likelihood to recommend reflect strong satisfaction across diverse hotel segments, from boutique to hostel properties.
In contrast, Acigrup has no reviews or ratings available, so we cannot determine user satisfaction. Given the proven track record and recent positive feedback, Cloudbeds is undoubtedly the higher-rated solution.
Cloudbeds’ pricing starts at a flat fee of $600/month, with no free trial, implementation fees, or hidden costs. Its transparent pricing reflects its mature product and extensive support.
Acigrup’s pricing is not publicly disclosed, making it difficult to compare value directly. Without clear cost information, Cloudbeds’ transparent model and proven ROI provide a distinct advantage.
Not ideal if you prefer a minimal, simple system without many features or if your hotel has very basic operational needs.
Not ideal if your hotel requires a proven, feature-rich platform backed by extensive support and integrations.
Cloudbeds is the clear leader, offering a comprehensive, well-rated platform with over 64 features, a strong global presence, and extensive integrations. Its 1071 recent reviews and high satisfaction ratings confirm its reliability and suitability for diverse hotel types.
Acigrup remains unproven and unreviewed, making it a risky choice for hotels that value stability, support, and proven results. Unless your property is experimenting or has very niche requirements, Cloudbeds is the safer, smarter investment.

Cloudbeds is frequently described as intuitive and quick to learn, which reduces training time for new staff and helps properties adopt the system quickly. Reviewers also value tutorials, university resources, and onboarding help, though some ask for retraining or deeper guidance on advanced features.

Support is a major theme, with many users praising fast help and knowledgeable agents when they can reach a person. The most common complaint is reliance on chatbot/email workflows and slow escalation, which is problematic for urgent front-desk issues that can affect guest experience and revenue.

Users repeatedly say Cloudbeds' calendar is the clearest part of the product, giving front-desk teams a fast view of occupancy, room types, booking status, and daily reservations. It helps hotels manage check-ins, check-outs, split stays, and room changes more efficiently, reducing errors during busy operations.

Reviewers often mention invoice templates, receipts, statement review, and centralized guest billing as helpful for daily operations and guest checkout. At the same time, the Folio flow for adding extras can be click-heavy, and some users want stronger tax, currency, and accounting handling inside Cloudbeds instead of using separate systems.
A frequent criticism is that the mobile app lacks enough operational depth for staff on the move. Reviewers want booking creation, availability manage... A frequent criticism is that the mobile app lacks enough operational depth for staff on the move. Reviewers want booking creation, availability management, notifications, calendar access, and more stable performance directly in the app instead of having to switch to email or desktop.

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 Acigrup 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 →
