Choosing between Engisoft by Enginyeria de Software S.A. (ENGISOFT) and Stayntouch hinges on your hotel’s operational needs and growth plans. Both systems aim to streamline property management, but they diverge significantly in market presence, features, and user feedback. Engisoft offers a traditional, largely Europe-focused PMS with a limited feature set, while Stayntouch provides a highly integrated, mobile-friendly platform with extensive third-party partnerships and a broader global reach. Are you prioritizing a more established, feature-rich solution or a modern, scalable platform with proven ease of use?
Engisoft is a cloud PMS designed primarily for property managers seeking a straightforward solution, emphasizing reservation, billing, and housekeeping management. However, it has minimal recent reviews and no current user ratings, making assessment difficult. On the other hand, Stayntouch boasts over 317 reviews and a strong recent review count, with a 4.56 out of 5 overall rating, reflecting widespread user confidence.
The key difference is market reach; Engisoft mainly serves European hotel operators, whereas Stayntouch has a strong North American presence and expanding markets across Europe, Asia Pacific, and Africa. While Engisoft’s core features are limited to reservation and guest management, Stayntouch offers a comprehensive suite with 33 unique features, including online check-in, guest messaging, and automated space optimization. Given these disparities, which platform aligns better with your hotel’s growth trajectory and operational complexity?
If your hotel needs a user-friendly, mobile-enabled system with extensive integrations and proven multi-property management, Stayntouch is the clear choice. It suits hotels aiming for streamlined guest experiences, staff productivity, and scalability, especially in markets like North America or for properties with multiple locations.
Conversely, if your property primarily operates within Europe, has minimal tech complexity, and prefers a less costly, more straightforward PMS, Engisoft could suffice. It’s best for smaller hotels or property managers with limited expansion plans, but beware of its limited recent user feedback. For most hotels looking to grow and innovate, Stayntouch offers a better long-term fit.
Stayntouch has a user rating of 4.7 out of 5 for ease of use, with recent reviews praising its intuitive interface, mobile capabilities, and quick onboarding. Users highlight how staff can learn the system fast and efficiently manage bookings, check-ins, and reports.
Engisoft scores a 0 out of 5 for ease of use, with no recent reviews or ratings to support its usability. Without recent user feedback, it’s difficult to assess how intuitive or staff-friendly the platform is. Based on current data, Edge: Stayntouch.
Stayntouch provides 33 features, including online check-in, guest app, real-time reporting, automated space optimization, and integrated payment solutions, making it a highly versatile platform. In comparison, Engisoft offers only 3 unique features: spa & wellness module, gift vouchers, and guest CRM.
This stark contrast indicates Stayntouch’s extensive feature set, supporting varied operational needs and guest engagement strategies. If your hotel relies on these advanced features, Stayntouch’s comprehensive capabilities give it a decisive edge.
Stayntouch’s support rating is 4.68 out of 5, with recent reviews emphasizing its friendly, responsive, and thorough onboarding process. Guests frequently mention excellent support and ongoing upgrades, reinforcing trust in their service.
Engisoft has no current user reviews or ratings, making it impossible to evaluate support quality. Given the absence of recent feedback, the clear choice is Edge: Stayntouch.
Stayntouch boasts 188 verified integrations, including popular partners like SiteMinder, RoomPriceGenie, and STAAH, with 6 shared partners with Engisoft. Engisoft, however, only supports 8 verified partners, limiting connectivity options.
For hotels relying on third-party tools for revenue management, channel management, or guest engagement, Stayntouch’s extensive integration network provides a significant advantage. Therefore, edge: Stayntouch.
Stayntouch’s recent reviews reflect a 4.56/5 overall rating, with 94% of users likely to recommend it. Hoteliers praise its user-friendliness, customer support, and real-time cloud access, especially in boutique, resort, and branded hotels.
Engisoft, lacking recent reviews and user scores, cannot compare favorably. Given the current ratings and review volume, Edge: Stayntouch.
Engisoft does not publish pricing details, which suggests a bespoke, possibly higher-cost approach, but it lacks transparency. Stayntouch charges a base fee of $800 per month, with no implementation fees or per-room charges, making pricing predictable and scalable.
If budget transparency and predictable costs are critical, Stayntouch offers a clear advantage. Otherwise, negotiate directly with Engisoft for quotes, but be aware of the lack of published data.
Not ideal if:
Not ideal if:
The core difference is that Stayntouch is a modern, well-supported platform with extensive features and a global user base, while Engisoft remains a limited, regional option with minimal recent feedback. Stayntouch’s recent reviews, high ratings, and broad integration ecosystem make it more suitable for hotels aiming to grow and innovate.
Choose Engisoft if your hotel needs are minimal, your market is primarily Europe, and budget constraints outweigh advanced features. For hotels focused on operational efficiency, guest experience, and future scalability, Stayntouch is the clear winner.
If your hotel values a proven, feature-rich cloud platform with excellent support and integrations, go with Stayntouch. But if simplicity and regional focus are your priorities, Engisoft might suffice—though with significant caveats about limited recent feedback.

| 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. |
