Choosing between Crave Mobile Platform by Crave Interactive and wetter.com GmbH for your hotel’s guest engagement hinges on how each product addresses your specific operational needs. Crave specializes in comprehensive, app-less mobile services that integrate deeply with hotel systems, while wetter.com GmbH offers a less feature-rich, less widely supported alternative. Given their differing market presence and review activity, your decision should prioritize proven performance and ongoing support.
Crave has amassed a notable 48 reviews in the past six months, with an overall rating of 4.75/5 and a high NPS score of 9.15/10, indicating strong user satisfaction. wetter.com GmbH, however, has no recent reviews or ratings, making it difficult to assess current performance or customer sentiment. Is your hotel willing to rely on a platform with extensive recent feedback versus an unreviewed solution?
Crave’s platform is designed to keep guests engaged throughout their stay, offering mobile access to services like room service, messaging, digital menus, payments, and multi-lingual options—all integrated with your hotel systems. Wetter.com GmbH’s software appears primarily focused on weather information, with limited or no features detailed, and no recent reviews to gauge performance.
The main divergence is in their scope: Crave’s solution is a full-fledged guest services app with 25 features and integrations with systems like Oracle Hospitality and Infor, whereas wetter.com GmbH has no verified features or integrations listed. Crave’s broad feature set supports multiple hotel segments, while wetter.com GmbH's offering seems limited or undefined. Are you seeking a robust service platform or a simple weather info tool?
If your hotel needs a comprehensive guest engagement system that boosts service efficiency, increases ancillary sales, and offers multi-lingual options, Crave is the clear choice. It’s ideal for hotels looking to modernize their guest experience with features like contactless ordering, digital menus, and integrated payments.
Conversely, wetter.com GmbH might appeal if your hotel primarily requires weather updates or basic information delivery, but the absence of recent reviews and detailed feature data makes it a risky choice. For property managers prioritizing proven, feature-rich platforms, Crave’s extensive support and positive feedback make it the more reliable option.
Crave’s platform boasts a user satisfaction rating of 4.61/5 for ease of use, supported by a 4.57/5 onboarding score, reflecting a smooth implementation process. Reviewers highlight its intuitive guest interface and helpful setup team, with comments like “User friendly & simple to use” and “Crave set-up team was proactive and great to work with.”
Wetter.com GmbH, with a review score of 0, offers no user feedback or usability data, leaving its ease of use entirely unverified. Based on existing ratings, Edge: Crave.
Crave’s platform offers an impressive suite of 25 features, including hotel directories, multilingual support, payments, request management, room service ordering, guest messaging, QR codes, contactless ordering, and POS integration. wetter.com GmbH provides no listed features or unique capabilities, making it impossible to compare directly.
Crave’s diverse feature set directly supports operational efficiency and guest satisfaction, giving your team more tools to enhance the stay. Edge: Crave.
Crave’s customer support ratings are outstanding at 4.79/5, with reviewers describing response times as “incredible” and support staff as “helpful and proactive.” Hoteliers frequently note how quickly issues are resolved, and the setup process is smooth, promoting confidence in ongoing support.
wetter.com GmbH has no publicly available reviews or ratings, leaving its customer support quality unverified. When support quality is critical, Crave’s track record clearly favors it. Edge: Crave.
Crave integrates with 17 verified partners, including Interel, Book4Time, Quore, Oracle Hospitality, and POS systems like InfoGenesis. Wetter.com GmbH has no listed integrations or partnerships, limiting its compatibility and flexibility for hotel operations.
Having numerous integrations—especially with key hospitality systems—means Crave can fit seamlessly into your existing tech stack. Edge: Crave.
Crave’s overall rating of 4.75/5 and a high NPS of 9.15/10 reflect strong recent reviews from diverse hotel segments, including luxury, boutique, and branded hotels. Hoteliers report “exceptional customer service” and “highly customizable” interfaces that improve guest engagement.
Wetter.com GmbH lacks recent review data altogether, making it impossible to determine hotel satisfaction. Given the recent, positive feedback for Crave, it clearly holds the higher reputation among hoteliers. Edge: Crave.
Crave’s pricing starts at a flat rate of $400, with no mention of ongoing monthly fees or implementation costs. wetter.com GmbH’s pricing is unspecified, with no available trial or detailed fee structure, which complicates cost comparisons.
Crave’s transparent, straightforward pricing offers better predictability. Without specific data for wetter.com GmbH, Crave appears to be the safer, more predictable investment.
Not ideal if your hotel relies solely on weather updates or basic static content without need for guest interaction features.
Not ideal if your hotel wants a comprehensive guest engagement platform or values detailed reviews and proven performance.
Crave’s platform is well-established, feature-rich, and supported by recent positive reviews, making it the clear leader for hotels seeking a comprehensive guest app. Its extensive integrations, ease of use, and impressive support ratings provide confidence in its ability to enhance your operation and guest satisfaction.
If your hotel needs a reliable, full-service mobile guest engagement solution, Crave is the superior choice. Its proven track record and broad feature set make it the best investment for most properties.
On the other hand, wetter.com GmbH offers limited information and no recent user feedback, making it a less secure option. It might suit very specific, weather-focused needs but lacks the broad capabilities or proven support of Crave.
In summary, for hotels focused on improving guest experience and operational efficiency with minimal risk, Crave is the way to go. Wetter.com GmbH, lacking recent validation, should be approached with caution unless your needs are extremely narrow and basic.
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. |
