As you evaluate contactless check-in solutions, the choice hinges on what your hotel prioritizes. EPOS by Tevalis offers a highly integrated, enterprise-grade POS system with no recent reviews or user feedback, making its effectiveness uncertain. MyStay Check-in, in contrast, boasts over 40 reviews, with recent 5-star feedback emphasizing ease of use and guest satisfaction. Do you want a broad, established platform or a specialized solution with proven recent support?
Both products aim to streamline contactless check-in, but they diverge in focus. EPOS by Tevalis is primarily a retail and hospitality POS system, designed for sales and inventory management, with minimal dedicated features for guest check-in. MyStay Check-in is specifically tailored for contactless guest registration, with features like automated check-in/out, digital forms, and integrations that directly enhance the guest experience. Given the recent review data, MyStay's focus on contactless guest flow makes it the more relevant choice. Will your hotel benefit more from a broad POS system or a dedicated check-in solution?
If your hotel needs a specialized contactless check-in platform with high user satisfaction and quick implementation, go with MyStay. Its 40 reviews, a 5/5 overall rating, and a 9.8/10 NPS score reflect a proven, well-received solution. Conversely, if your hotel requires a comprehensive sales or inventory system integrated with a POS for retail, and you're seeking a more enterprise-level, multi-use platform, EPOS by Tevalis might be suitable. But for contactless check-in, MyStay's proven track record is compelling.
MyStay Check-in enjoys a near-perfect ease of use rating at 4.91/5, with reviews describing its interface as "very simple" and "intuitive." Users also highlight straightforward onboarding, with a 4.82/5 rating, indicating quick staff adoption. EPOS by Tevalis scores a 0/5 for ease, with no recent reviews or user feedback, making it impossible to gauge usability. Given the recent positive reviews, Edge: MyStay.
MyStay offers 14 exclusive features focused on guest check-in, digital payments, communication, and integrations such as PMS, door locks, and kiosks. These include guest segmentation, offer templates, and A/B testing—features critical for modern contactless operations. EPOS lacks any unique features in this category, as it primarily functions as a POS and retail management system. For a comprehensive contactless check-in toolkit, Edge: MyStay.
MyStay boasts support and onboarding ratings near 5/5, with reviews praising its responsiveness and the team’s willingness to evolve the platform based on user feedback. Users describe support as "prompt" and "helpful," contributing to high satisfaction. EPOS by Tevalis has no recent reviews or support ratings, leaving its support quality uncertain. Based on current data, Edge: MyStay.
MyStay integrates with 30 verified partners, including PMS, key solutions, and channel managers like Priority Software, Kwentra, and WuBook, enhancing its versatility. EPOS by Tevalis does not report verified integrations, limiting its connectivity options. If seamless integrations matter to your hotel, Edge: MyStay.
While Tevalis has no recent reviews or ratings, MyStay has earned a 5/5 rating from 39 reviews, with high scores across segments such as serviced apartments and boutique hotels. Hoteliers especially appreciate its simplicity and efficiency, with 98% likelihood to recommend. Given the recent and high-rated feedback, Edge: MyStay.
EPOS by Tevalis does not publicly disclose pricing, likely requiring direct contact for a quote. MyStay charges a base fee of $400, with no ongoing fees or implementation costs, making its pricing transparent. If budget transparency is key, MyStay offers a straightforward model.
Not ideal if you solely want a contactless check-in system with a quick setup and dedicated guest features. EPOS is better suited for hotels aiming for operational control over sales and inventory rather than guest flow automation.
Not ideal if your hotel needs a broad retail or inventory system, or if you prefer a POS-focused platform over guest-centric features. MyStay is best for properties aiming for operational efficiency and enhanced guest service.
The core difference lies in their primary functions: MyStay is a contactless check-in specialist, while EPOS is a POS and sales management system with limited contactless capabilities. For hotels seeking proven, recent user satisfaction and a dedicated contactless guest experience, MyStay clearly leads.
Choose MyStay if you value simplicity, high guest satisfaction, and a feature-rich contactless platform that’s actively supported and integrated. Opt for EPOS if your hotel requires a comprehensive sales or retail platform and contactless check-in is a secondary concern.
In conclusion, for contactless check-in solutions with recent positive validation, MyStay is the more reliable and proven choice.
According to HTR's product database, EPOS and MyStay Check in share 0 features. Here are the key differences — features one has that the other lacks.

| 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. |
