Choosing between eviivo Suite™ HMS by eviivo and NewBook All-in-1 HMS by NewBook comes down to your specific operational needs and hotel profile. Both products aim to streamline property management and increase bookings, but their approaches and strengths differ significantly.
eviivo is a more established player with a broad feature set, primarily serving independent and small-to-medium properties across multiple regions. Conversely, NewBook offers a straightforward, cloud-based management solution favored by motels and RV parks, with a smaller, more localized regional footprint.
Your decision hinges on whether you prioritize a feature-rich platform with extensive integrations and a proven track record or a simpler, easy-to-use solution tailored for specific segments. But which product aligns better with your hotel’s goals?
Both eviivo and NewBook serve hotel operators by centralizing booking, guest management, and channel distribution. eviivo’s platform is a comprehensive property management system with 54 features, including native email marketing, revenue management, and detailed reporting, designed to serve independent hotels and vacation rentals.
In contrast, NewBook emphasizes ease of use with a cloud-based system that centralizes operations for motels, RV parks, and smaller properties. eviivo’s platform contains a richer array of functionalities, but it also has a steeper learning curve, while NewBook focuses on simplicity and quick onboarding.
eviivo’s broader regional presence in North America, Europe, and South America makes it a more globally recognized option, while NewBook’s stronger foothold in Australia and select regions makes it more regionally focused. Which approach suits your property – extensive features or straightforward usability?
If your hotel is an independent, small to medium property seeking a robust, feature-rich management system with extensive integrations, eviivo is the clear choice. It’s especially suitable if you need multi-currency handling, detailed revenue analytics, or a built-in website and email marketing.
However, if your hotel primarily serves motels or RV parks and values simplicity, quick setup, and dedicated regional support, NewBook offers an intuitive platform that can meet these needs efficiently. Its support ratings are perfect, with a 5/5 customer support score, and it’s highly praised for onboarding.
For properties prioritizing a large feature set and global presence, eviivo’s 191 reviews with a 4.57/5 support rating and recent positive feedback make it a more proven choice. Conversely, NewBook’s smaller review base with a perfect 5/5 support score indicates a more personalized service experience for regional properties.
eviivo’s ease-of-use rating is 4.48/5, with many users praising its intuitive booking and reporting tools. However, some reviews mention that its interface could be more user-friendly, especially for managing multiple accommodations.
NewBook scores slightly higher at 4.67/5, with reviewers describing it as “AMAZING EASY SYSTEM” and highlighting its user-friendly cloud platform. Both platforms are praised for onboarding, but NewBook’s simplicity and straightforward setup give it a slight edge.
Edge: NewBook.
eviivo’s platform includes 54 exclusive features such as multi-currency support, native email marketing, booking engine, revenue management, digital registration, guest CRM, and automated night audits—capabilities that are absent in NewBook.
NewBook’s feature set is more limited, focusing on core operational tools, but it excels in simplicity and ease of use. eviivo’s extensive features make it suitable for complex operations, while NewBook covers essential functions without overwhelming users.
Edge: eviivo.
eviivo’s customer support is rated 4.57/5, with reviews highlighting professional, responsive service, especially during onboarding. Users praise its support team, particularly for resolving issues quickly, though some express frustrations with chat support communication.

NewBook has 16 verified partners, including SiteMinder, Revinate, and Vingcard. While slightly fewer, these integrations cover essential booking, marketing, and access control needs for regional properties.
Edge: eviivo.
eviivo has a significantly larger review base with 191 reviews, a 4.57/5 support rating, and recent reviews confirming ongoing satisfaction. Hotels across various segments, especially independent and vacation rentals, rate it highly for operational efficiency.
NewBook, despite only 3 reviews, boasts a perfect 5/5 customer support rating, with users highlighting ease of use and support responsiveness. However, its smaller review base means less data for a definitive comparison.
Edge: eviivo.
eviivo offers a fixed base price of $700/month without a free trial or additional implementation fees. Its pricing model is straightforward but may be a consideration for smaller operations.
NewBook’s pricing is not publicly listed; it typically involves custom quotes based on property size and needs, making direct comparison difficult. Both products do not offer free trials.

| 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. |
