Choosing between Crave Mobile Platform and MOQdigital hinges on your hotel’s specific needs—guest engagement versus digital infrastructure. Crave offers a dedicated, feature-rich guest app solution with a proven track record, while MOQdigital provides a broader suite of digital transformation services, focusing on IT infrastructure and custom solutions. Which aligns better with your strategic priorities?
Crave Mobile Platform is the clear leader based on reviews, recent feedback, and extensive features designed specifically for guest interaction. It has 48 reviews, a 4.75/5 overall rating, and a recent, active user base, making it the more reliable choice.
Crave Mobile Platform excels at delivering an engaging guest experience through a mobile app that guests can access from anywhere on your property. MOQdigital, by contrast, offers a broad set of IT services and digital solutions that help optimize hotel operations behind the scenes.
Crave’s strengths lie in features like web-based app access, multi-lingual support, payments, QR codes, and in-venue ordering, all aimed at elevating guest satisfaction. MOQdigital focuses on infrastructure, data analytics, and cybersecurity, which are less visible but crucial for tech-driven hotel management.
The core difference is that Crave is a hospitality-specific guest app, while MOQdigital is a comprehensive digital partner for broader IT needs. Your decision should depend on whether your priority is enhancing guest interaction or upgrading your hotel’s digital backbone. Do you want a proven guest app or a flexible technology partner?
If your hotel needs a guest-facing mobile engagement platform with extensive features, go with Crave. With its 48 reviews and a 4.75/5 rating, it’s the most trusted choice for hotels seeking to boost guest satisfaction and operational efficiency.
On the other hand, if your hotel requires tailored digital transformation services, cloud solutions, or IT infrastructure upgrades, MOQdigital is the better fit. It’s designed for hotels wanting to integrate new technology seamlessly into existing systems, but it lacks dedicated guest app features and a proven hotel-specific track record.
In summary, choose Crave if your goal is to engage guests directly with a feature-rich app. Opt for MOQdigital if your hotel needs a partner to overhaul or bolster your digital infrastructure.
Crave scores 4.61/5 for ease of use, reflecting its intuitive interface and straightforward onboarding process. Reviews praise its user-friendly guest interface and helpful setup team, with hoteliers describing it as "super customizable" and "easy to access via QR codes."
MOQdigital’s platform, by contrast, does not have publicly available ease-of-use ratings or recent reviews, making it difficult to assess its user experience. Given Crave’s high score and active user feedback, it clearly offers a more immediate, hotel-friendly UI.
Edge: Crave Mobile Platform.
Crave offers 25 unique features tailored explicitly for hospitality, including web-based app access, multilingual translations, payments (Apple Pay, Google Pay), room service, guest messaging, contactless ordering, and POS integrations. These features directly improve guest convenience and operational efficiency.
MOQdigital provides a broad suite of IT services like cloud computing, cybersecurity, and data analytics, but it does not include dedicated guest app features. For hotels seeking specific guest engagement tools, Crave’s feature set is far superior.
Edge: Crave Mobile Platform.
Crave’s support scores 4.79/5, with reviews highlighting quick responses, proactive service, and helpful staff. Customers describe Crave’s support as "incredible," with rapid issue resolution, even during off-hours.
MOQdigital, lacking recent reviews or publicly available support ratings, does not demonstrate the same level of customer feedback. For hoteliers prioritizing responsive support, Crave’s proven support track record makes it the clear choice.
Edge: Crave Mobile Platform.
Crave boasts 17 verified integrations, including partners like Oracle Hospitality, Infor, Amadeus, and Kipsu. These integrations help streamline operations like POS, payment processing, and guest messaging.
MOQdigital has no publicly listed or verified integrations, focusing instead on IT services and infrastructure. If seamless integration with hotel management systems is important, Crave offers a more comprehensive ecosystem.
Edge: Crave Mobile Platform.
Crave’s recent reviews and high ratings (4.75/5 overall, 9.15/5 NPS score) indicate strong user satisfaction, especially among luxury, boutique, and branded hotels. Hotels in diverse segments appreciate its ease of use and support.
MOQdigital, without recent reviews or specific hotel segment ratings, cannot be directly compared. Given the active review base and high scores, Crave is the preferred choice for hotelier-rated satisfaction.
Edge: Crave Mobile Platform.
Crave’s pricing starts at a flat $400 per month, with no mention of implementation fees or per-room charges. This transparent rate makes budget planning straightforward.
MOQdigital’s pricing is not publicly available, as it offers customized digital transformation services. Its costs are likely variable based on scope, making Crave the more predictable investment.
Not ideal if your hotel requires extensive IT infrastructure overhaul or customized enterprise solutions outside of guest engagement.
Not ideal if your primary focus is on guest-facing features or you prefer a pre-built, dedicated mobile app solution.
Crave is a proven, feature-rich guest app platform trusted by hundreds of hotels worldwide. Its extensive recent reviews, high customer satisfaction, and active support make it the clear choice for hotels prioritizing guest engagement and operational efficiencies.
MOQdigital excels at delivering tailored digital services, especially for hotels needing to overhaul IT systems or implement complex digital solutions. However, it lacks a dedicated guest app and has no recent hotel-specific reviews.
If your hotel’s primary goal is to improve guest experience with an easy-to-deploy app, Crave is the definitive pick. For comprehensive digital transformation beyond guest engagement, MOQdigital is worth exploring, but expect a longer, more customized implementation process.
Hotel Guest Apps 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.

| 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 →
