Choosing the right property management system (PMS) is essential for optimizing your hotel’s operations and guest experience. Both Engisoft by Enginyeria de Software S.A. (ENGISOFT) and ThinkReservations PMS aim to streamline management tasks, but they do so with different strengths and limitations. Your decision hinges on your hotel’s size, regional presence, and feature needs.
While ENGISOFT offers a broad suite tailored more for European markets with specific modules, ThinkReservations delivers an all-in-one, user-friendly platform with a strong North American footprint. Which platform better aligns with your hotel’s operational priorities?
Engisoft is designed as a comprehensive cloud PMS with a focus on property operations, offering modules for wellness, revenue management, and ID scanning. ThinkReservations, on the other hand, emphasizes ease of use, online booking, and integration with OTAs, with a proven track record of boosting revenue.
ThinkReservations has 356 reviews with a 4.88/5 overall rating and recent feedback from active users, making its performance more current and reliable. ENGISOFT, by contrast, has no reviews, leaving its real-world usability and customer satisfaction unverified. Is your hotel ready to rely on a platform with proven user feedback?
If your hotel primarily operates in North America with a focus on B&Bs, boutique hotels, or small resorts, ThinkReservations is the more suitable option. It offers 25 unique features, including a channel manager, booking engine, guest profiles, and integrated payments—critical for maximizing revenue and operational efficiency.
Engisoft, meanwhile, caters more to European markets or hotels needing specialized modules like wellness, guest CRM, or ID scanners. If your hotel requires these specific tools and operates in Europe, ENGISOFT might appeal; otherwise, ThinkReservations’ extensive features and recent reviews make it the smarter choice.
ThinkReservations boasts a high ease of use rating at 4.82/5, with reviewers citing its intuitive interface, straightforward onboarding, and quick staff adoption. Many praise its seamless transition, with comments like, “The support was fantastic, and onboarding was effortless,” reflecting its strong usability.
Engisoft, lacking review data altogether, leaves uncertainty about user experience. Its interface and onboarding complexity are unverified, making it a riskier choice for teams seeking a simple, modern system.
Edge: ThinkReservations.
ThinkReservations offers 25 unique features, including a channel manager, booking engine, guest communication via SMS, real-time status updates, and native email marketing—built to enhance guest engagement and revenue.
Engisoft provides only 14 shared features plus 5 exclusive modules like spa & wellness, revenue management, and integrated CRM. Its feature set appears more suited for complex property operations rather than straightforward hotel management.
Edge: ThinkReservations.
ThinkReservations consistently receives praise for its support, with many reviewers highlighting 24/7 availability and knowledgeable staff. Comments like, “Customer support is fantastic, and the team is always accessible,” are common in recent reviews.
Engisoft’s support rating is unverified, with no available reviews to gauge responsiveness or quality. Without user feedback, it’s difficult to assess support effectiveness, but the lack of recent reviews for ENGISOFT suggests less confidence in its customer service.
Edge: ThinkReservations.
ThinkReservations integrates with 16 verified partners, including major OTAs such as Airbnb, Expedia, and Tripadvisor, alongside platforms like TrustYou and OpenKey. Its integration ecosystem is robust, facilitating dynamic distribution and guest communication.
Engisoft connects with 8 partners, including SiteMinder and Mirai, but lacks the breadth of ThinkReservations. Its integrations are more limited, which could restrict your hotel’s distribution and operational flexibility.
Edge: ThinkReservations.
ThinkReservations enjoys a 4.88/5 rating from 356 reviews, with recent feedback emphasizing operational efficiency, increased revenue, and excellent support. Many small and boutique hotels appreciate its intuitive interface and ROI improvements.
Engisoft, with no reviews or ratings, cannot demonstrate user satisfaction or performance. Its reputation remains unverified in the hospitality community, making ThinkReservations the safer, more trusted choice based on current data.
Edge: ThinkReservations.
Engisoft’s pricing is not publicly disclosed, which complicates budgeting and comparison. ThinkReservations charges a $500 monthly fee, with no additional implementation or per-room charges, making it transparent and predictable.
Without clear data on Engisoft’s costs, hotels must request a quote, but the fixed monthly rate of ThinkReservations provides clarity for budgeting.
Not ideal if your hotel prefers a straightforward, highly-rated system with extensive support and proven user feedback.
Not ideal if your hotel operates in Europe or needs specialized modules like wellness or CRM-specific features.
The core difference lies in their market validation: ThinkReservations has a recent, extensive review base and high user satisfaction, while Engisoft’s lack of reviews creates uncertainty.
If your hotel needs a reliable, feature-rich system with proven support and North American reach, ThinkReservations is your best choice—its 356 reviews and 4.88/5 rating speak volumes.
Choose Engisoft only if your hotel is European, has very specific operational needs, or values modules not available in ThinkReservations, and you’re prepared for a less-tested platform.
For most hotels seeking ease, reliability, and active user endorsement, ThinkReservations clearly stands out. It offers the confidence of recent, high-rated reviews and a comprehensive feature set that can support growth now and in the future.
Property Management Systems 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.

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. Enginyeria de Software S.A. (ENGISOFT) has an HT Score of 0 and ThinkReservations has 89. 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 →
