The core divergence between eviivo Suite™ PMS and SkyTouch Technology lies in their operational focus and user base scale. eviivo serves predominantly small to medium-sized independent properties, boutique hotels, B&Bs, and vacation rentals across 23 countries, providing over 50 unique hospitality features including a mobile app and AI-powered guest messaging. SkyTouch Technology targets a broader range including boutique and branded hotels, motels, and resorts primarily in North America, with a focus on a simplified cloud-based PMS and strong rate management tools but fewer unique features.
Both platforms solve the fundamental problem of property management system (PMS) complexity by offering cloud-based reservation, rate, and guest management capabilities with channel integrations. eviivo’s extensive OTA connections and automation cater to properties needing multi-channel synchronization and guest communication tools, while SkyTouch emphasizes ease of use, centralized rate control across multiple properties, and detailed reporting for daily operations.
If your property is a small to medium independent hotel, B&B, or vacation rental with a diverse distribution strategy spanning multiple OTAs in Europe or North America, choose eviivo. Its 4.6 overall rating across 230 reviews, including 25 recent ones averaging 4.1, supports its relevance and reliability in these segments, especially given its 26 unique hospitality features that streamline guest messaging and housekeeping workflows. For example, eviivo’s AI-powered Concierge automates guest inquiries 24/7, reducing front desk workload.
If you operate a boutique or branded hotel, motel, or resort primarily in North America, and require a PMS with fast onboarding and strong rate management across properties, SkyTouch Technology fits better. It has a 4.4 overall rating from 123 reviews, though no recent reviews exist to confirm current performance. Its specialized rate management tool is praised for ease and effectiveness by multi-property managers, although it lacks many guest communication and mobile features present in eviivo.
Data is thin for luxury hotels and extended stay segments for both products, so neither can be definitively recommended there based on reviews. For larger portfolios seeking extensive integrations and global OTA reach, eviivo’s 35 verified partners and presence in 23 countries provide a broader ecosystem than SkyTouch’s 33 partners focused in 3 countries.
Ease of use ratings are close: eviivo scores 4.5/5, while SkyTouch scores slightly higher at 4.7/5. Both products have equal onboarding ratings of 4.4/5. Reviewers for eviivo highlight intuitive navigation, fast desk training, and an easy-to-use promo system that can be configured in five minutes. SkyTouch users emphasize the system’s simplicity, quick training for new staff, and straightforward check-in and check-out processes.
However, SkyTouch reviews mention occasional inconveniences from frequent updates and some navigation quirks, while eviivo users note requests for better interface customization and mobile app enhancements. Overall, both platforms deliver practical usability that supports staff adoption, with no significant edge to either.
Edge: Even.
eviivo offers 26 unique hotel features beyond the 25 shared with SkyTouch. These include a native mobile app for managing bookings on the go, multi-currency support, gift vouchers, a guest app, digital registration, guest communication via SMS messaging, online check-in/out, housekeeping mobile app with real-time status updates, automated space optimization, task and shift planning, employee messaging, and compliance with GDPR and SOC2 standards. These features directly improve front desk workflows, housekeeping coordination, guest engagement, and operational security.
SkyTouch Technology’s unique features are limited to guest profiles and guest CRM, which overlap with shared CRM capabilities. While SkyTouch’s rate management is well regarded, it does not offer the same breadth of guest communication tools or mobile apps.
The extensive automation and guest messaging tools found only in eviivo transform daily operations by reducing manual guest contact and improving housekeeping efficiency, which SkyTouch lacks.
Edge: eviivo Suite™ PMS.
Both platforms earn similar customer support ratings: 4.4/5 for eviivo and 4.5/5 for SkyTouch, with onboarding each at 4.4/5. eviivo reviewers frequently praise the responsive, knowledgeable teams who provide smooth onboarding and proactive configuration assistance, helping reduce internal staff burden. SkyTouch support is described as professional and helpful, though some users report slow resolution of long-standing bugs and inconvenient update scheduling.
The difference in review volume favors eviivo, which has 230 reviews versus 123 for SkyTouch, and 25 recent reviews affirming ongoing support quality. SkyTouch has no reviews in the last six months, so current support experience is less certain.
Edge: Even.
eviivo has 35 verified integration partners compared to SkyTouch’s 33. Both share four common partners, including Canary Technologies and Actabl. eviivo uniquely integrates with major booking channel connectors like eRevMax, Tripadvisor, D-Edge, PriceLabs, and messaging platforms such as Duve and Asksuite, supporting a wider range of marketing, pricing, and guest engagement tools.
SkyTouch’s exclusive partners include niche hotel-oriented products like Chargerback Lost & Found and Visual Matrix PMS, which may benefit properties needing these specific solutions. However, eviivo’s broader OTA and channel manager integrations better support properties requiring multi-channel distribution and dynamic pricing.
Edge: Even.
eviivo holds a slightly higher overall rating of 4.6/5 across 230 reviews, including 25 in the last six months averaging 4.1, whereas SkyTouch’s 4.4/5 rating derives from 123 reviews with no recent ratings, potentially limiting its current representativeness. eviivo’s likelihood to recommend is 93%, above SkyTouch’s 89%.
Segment ratings reinforce eviivo’s advantage in small to medium independent segments: Bed & Breakfasts rate eviivo at 4.7/5 (111 reviews) versus SkyTouch’s 4.4/5 (68 reviews). Boutique hotels similarly favor eviivo at 4.7/5 (48 reviews) over SkyTouch at 4.6/5 (48 reviews), and vacation rentals rate eviivo strongly at 4.7/5 (78 reviews) where SkyTouch has no significant presence.
SkyTouch performs well in motels (4.6/5 from 27 reviews) and branded hotels (4.5/5 from 46 reviews), but these segments have fewer reviews than eviivo’s dominant small property segments.
Edge: Even.
eviivo charges a base price of $700 with no implementation fee, monthly flat fee, or per-room pricing disclosed. SkyTouch’s base price is $600, also without implementation fees or per-room charges. Neither offers a freemium tier or trial period.
Both products require direct vendor engagement for detailed pricing based on property size and configuration. The $100 base price difference is minimal and should not drive choice.

Not ideal if:
eviivo Suite™ PMS distinguishes itself through a rich feature set tailored for small to medium independents, vacation rentals, and multi-property management, with 26 unique hospitality features including mobile apps, AI guest messaging, and comprehensive housekeeping tools. Its global presence and integration ecosystem support properties with multi-channel distribution and guest engagement needs.
SkyTouch Technology offers a cloud-based PMS with a slightly simpler interface and a strong emphasis on rate management, especially for boutique, branded hotels, and motels in North America. While it provides fewer unique features, its ease of use and detailed reporting serve properties requiring straightforward operational control and frequent staff onboarding.
Choose eviivo Suite™ PMS if your hotel requires advanced guest communication, mobile management, and multi-property automation to support growth, as backed by 230 reviews and 25 recent ones praising its versatility and support. Choose SkyTouch Technology if your property values rapid staff training, strong rate management, and operates in North America’s boutique or branded hotel segment, despite fewer recent reviews and limited unique features.

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. eviivo has an HT Score of 88 and SkyTouch Technology has 27. 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 →
