Both Cloudbeds PMS and myCloud Hospitality PMS aim to streamline hotel management, improve operational efficiency, and boost revenue. Cloudbeds is renowned for its all-in-one platform, extensive integrations, and global reach, while myCloud focuses on automation, advanced features, and tailored solutions for small to medium hotels. Your choice hinges on whether you prioritize a more established ecosystem or a modern, feature-rich platform with recent innovations.
Given the data, Cloudbeds offers a broader set of features and a larger user base, making it the more proven solution. But is that enough to outweigh the newer, highly rated features of myCloud? Let’s compare.
Cloudbeds, founded in 2012, has built a reputation as a comprehensive hospitality engine, offering an integrated platform that covers PMS, channel management, booking engines, and more. Its 1071 reviews, with a recent 81 in the last six months, reflect a large, engaged user base, and a high overall rating of 4.63/5. Users praise its user-friendly interface, extensive integrations, and reliability, although some note occasional setup complexity and system speed issues.
In contrast, myCloud Hospitality, established in 2022, has a smaller but growing presence, with only 95 reviews and a recent 3 reviews in the last six months. Despite a higher overall rating of 4.81/5, its comparatively limited review count and regional focus suggest a less proven track record. Its strengths are in automation, innovative features like contactless check-in, and tailored solutions for small and mid-sized hotels. So, does the larger, more mature platform of Cloudbeds outweigh the recent product innovations of myCloud? That’s the core of the decision.
If your hotel needs a highly scalable, globally proven platform with a broad ecosystem of integrations and proven reliability, Cloudbeds is the clear choice. It’s ideal for properties looking for a one-stop solution to manage reservations, distribution, and revenue with a trusted, established provider.
On the other hand, if your hotel prioritizes cutting-edge features like contactless check-in, digital keys, and automation, especially on a cloud-native platform, myCloud Hospitality might be better suited. It caters well to small and medium properties seeking modern guest experiences and quick, innovative deployments.
For hotels with a focus on growth, scalability, and extensive third-party integrations, Cloudbeds is the safer bet. But for properties aiming to modernize operations with advanced guest-centric features, myCloud offers a compelling, innovative alternative.
Cloudbeds scores a 4.61/5 for ease of use, with a well-organized, intuitive interface praised for simplifying complex tasks. Its onboarding process is rated at 4.45/5, and users find staff adoption relatively smooth despite some initial setup hurdles, especially for larger teams.
myCloud Hospitality surpasses this with a 4.79/5 rating for usability, praised for its user-friendly web interface and smooth workflows. Users highlight the platform’s simplicity, quick learning curve, and helpful support team, making daily operations efficient.
Edge: myCloud Hospitality PMS.
Cloudbeds boasts 53 shared features plus 11 exclusive ones, including multi-lingual support, inventory management, housekeeper mobile app, and wellness modules. Its unique features support complex operations and scalability, with robust integrations and advanced analytics dashboards.
myCloud offers 6 exclusive features like guest profiles, gift vouchers, and mobile notes, focusing on automation, contactless check-in, and digital payments. While its feature set is more modern, it’s less extensive than Cloudbeds.
Edge: Cloudbeds PMS.
Cloudbeds receives a 4.41/5 support rating, with reviews citing responsive support but occasionally complex onboarding. Some users mention support delays during peak times, but overall, the team is recognized for helpfulness and quick resolutions.
myCloud Hospitality outperforms with a 4.83/5 rating, with users praising its attentive support team, quick responses, and ongoing assistance. Many reviews mention the support team’s willingness to help resolve issues rapidly, especially during onboarding.
Edge: myCloud Hospitality PMS.
Cloudbeds connects with 190 verified partners, including major OTAs, payment gateways, and third-party apps like SiteMinder, Revinate, and HotelTime. Its extensive marketplace and channel management capabilities make it a flexible choice for diverse property needs.
myCloud, with 29 verified integrations, offers seamless connection with popular tools like Salesforce, payment processors, and booking engines. While its integration count is lower, it covers the essentials for small and mid-sized hotels.
Edge: Cloudbeds PMS.
Cloudbeds’ user reviews, with a focus on its ease of use and broad feature set, contribute to its high ratings, though it has a more diverse hotel segment distribution. Independent and boutique hotels rate it highly, appreciating its reliability and integrations.
myCloud, with fewer reviews but higher average ratings (4.81/5), is favored by small to mid-sized properties seeking modern tech. Recent reviews highlight its ease of use and innovative features, especially among smaller hotels.
Edge: Cloudbeds PMS (due to review volume and recent feedback).
Cloudbeds charges a starting price of $600/month, with no mention of additional implementation fees or per-room charges. Its pricing model is straightforward, suitable for medium to large properties seeking extensive features.
myCloud’s base price is $900/month, also without setup fees, and emphasizes a subscription model designed for smaller and chain hotels. Its higher price reflects its advanced features, like contactless check-in and digital payments.
Not ideal if your hotel prefers a lightweight, highly modernized system focused on guest experience over extensive integrations or enterprise features.
Not ideal if your hotel requires deep customization, extensive analytics, or a broad ecosystem of integrations.
Cloudbeds is a proven, versatile platform with an extensive feature set, trusted by thousands worldwide. Its strengths lie in its comprehensive integrations, scalability, and reliability, making it ideal for hotels seeking a mature, all-in-one management solution.
myCloud, by contrast, excels in delivering innovative, guest-centric features, especially contactless and automation tools, with high user satisfaction in small and mid-sized hotels. Its recent reviews and high ratings show it’s gaining ground as a modern, more flexible alternative.
If you need a reliable, feature-rich platform that can grow with your hotel, Cloudbeds remains the safer choice. But if your hotel values cutting-edge guest experiences and fast deployment, myCloud might be the better fit — especially as its recent reviews indicate high user satisfaction and innovative functionality.

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 myCloud Hospitality PMS has 75. 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 →
