Choosing between eviivo Suite™ HMS and Easy Innkeeping hinges on your hotel’s specific needs and priorities. Both products aim to simplify operations, but eviivo offers a more extensive suite with broader integrations and a larger user base, especially among independent and boutique hotels. Meanwhile, GraceSoft’s Easy Innkeeping emphasizes straightforward reservation management with a lower price point. Your decision should reflect which features and support levels better match your property’s size, complexity, and strategic goals.
Both eviivo and GraceSoft target small to midsize properties, but eviivo’s primary strength lies in its extensive integrations and feature set, making it suitable for hotels seeking comprehensive management. In contrast, Easy Innkeeping offers a simpler, more accessible platform, ideal for properties that prioritize ease of use without needing as many advanced features. Given eviivo’s higher user ratings and recent reviews, it’s clear that many hoteliers prefer its broader capabilities, but is that complexity necessary for your property?
If your hotel needs robust channel management, dynamic pricing, and extensive automation, eviivo is the clear choice, supported by 191 recent reviews with a high NPS score of 9.17/5. It’s best for independent hotels, boutique properties, and vacation rentals looking for a scalable, feature-rich platform. Conversely, if your property is smaller, with limited staff and straightforward operational needs, Easy Innkeeping’s lower price ($300/month) and simpler interface could be sufficient, despite fewer recent reviews and a smaller market presence.
eviivo’s ease of use is rated at 4.48/5, with a user-friendly interface praised for its intuitive reservation and billing processes. Its onboarding process is rated 4.38/5, showing consistent satisfaction, though some users note room for interface improvements. GraceSoft scores slightly lower at 4.4/5 but benefits from its straightforward design, especially appreciated by smaller teams. However, eviivo’s larger feature set can introduce complexity. Edge: eviivo.
eviivo offers a total of 54 features, including unique modules like Rate Shopping, RevPaR & ADR Reports, Digital Registration, and Housekeeping Mobile App—features that GraceSoft does not provide. GraceSoft’s main differentiator is its built-in CRM and reservations management, but it lacks eviivo’s advanced revenue management tools. If your hotel requires detailed reporting and automation, eviivo’s extensive features give it the edge. Edge: eviivo.
eviivo’s support has a high rating of 4.57/5, with reviews highlighting professionalism and quick issue resolution, especially praising their responsiveness during onboarding and training. Some reviews note communication challenges during chat support, but overall, eviivo’s support remains highly rated. GraceSoft receives a perfect 5/5 rating, with testimonials emphasizing their courteous and available staff. However, with only 5 reviews, the data is limited. Edge: eviivo.
eviivo boasts 32 verified partners, including major OTAs, channel managers, and ancillary service providers like TripAdvisor, D-Edge, and Canary Technologies, offering a broad ecosystem. GraceSoft currently has no listed verified integrations, limiting its connectivity options. For properties relying on diverse OTA channels or looking to expand distribution, eviivo’s integration breadth is advantageous. Edge: eviivo.
eviivo’s rating of 87.72/100 and a 95% likelihood to recommend are backed by 191 reviews, many from independent and boutique hotels that praise its reliability and feature set. Recent reviews affirm its ease of use and support quality. GraceSoft’s ratings are limited, with only 5 reviews, and an 80% likelihood to recommend, mainly highlighting support rather than core features. Given the volume and recency of reviews, eviivo’s reputation is stronger. Edge: eviivo.
eviivo’s pricing begins at $700/month with no free tier or trial, reflecting its enterprise-grade features. GraceSoft charges $300/month with a 30-day trial, appealing to smaller properties with less complex needs. The cost difference is significant, and your choice depends on whether your property can justify the higher investment for richer features or prefers an affordable, straightforward solution.
eviivo offers a comprehensive platform with broad integrations, advanced features, and a strong reputation among independent and boutique hotels. Its high review count and recent positive feedback make it the more reliable choice for properties seeking growth and automation. However, if your hotel is small, with straightforward needs and a limited budget, Easy Innkeeping can deliver essential management functions at a lower cost.
Choosing eviivo is best if you need a feature-rich system capable of supporting growth, automation, and multiple channels. If simplicity, affordability, and ease of use are your priorities, Easy Innkeeping can serve as a practical entry point. Ultimately, your hotel’s size, complexity, and strategic goals determine the best fit.
Note: This comparison is based on current reviews, feature sets, and pricing data. The more recent reviews and broader user feedback support a stronger endorsement for eviivo.

| 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 →
