Choosing the right channel manager is critical for your hotel’s online distribution and revenue growth. Both Exely Channel Manager and Levart Channel Control aim to optimize your bookings and reduce manual work, but they do so with different strengths and market presences. Your decision should hinge on which product aligns best with your hotel’s needs and operational context.
Exely’s extensive review base and high ratings suggest it’s a more mature, trusted solution. Levart, however, offers broader integration options but lacks user feedback, making it harder to evaluate its real-world performance. Which features, support, and market reach will impact your hotel’s bottom line?
Exely and Levart target similar core problems: simplifying distribution, reducing overbooking risks, and increasing online revenue. Exely’s strengths lie in its ease of use, comprehensive support, and focus on the North American, European, and global markets, evidenced by 102 reviews and a 4.95/5 customer support rating. Levart’s offerings include a wide array of integrations—more than 13 verified partners—but its absence of recent reviews makes its real-world reliability uncertain.
While Exely’s recent reviews highlight its stability, intuitive interface, and positive impact on revenue, Levart’s lack of recent user feedback leaves its performance and usability unverified. Is your priority a proven platform with high customer satisfaction? Or are you willing to gamble on a less-reviewed but potentially more integrated system?
Edge: Exely.
If your hotel needs a proven, highly-rated channel manager with a track record of increasing bookings and operational efficiency, go with Exely. Its user-friendly interface, real-time synchronization, and dedicated support make it ideal for independent hotels, boutique properties, and city-center hotels looking to streamline their online distribution.
If your hotel requires extensive integrations across multiple OTAs, GDS, and wholesale sites—especially if you operate in Asia Pacific or seek connectivity to platforms like Tripadvisor, Airbnb, or Agoda—Levart might appeal. However, the lack of recent reviews or detailed performance data makes it difficult to confirm its suitability.
For hotels prioritizing ease of use, reliability, and comprehensive support, Exely emerges as the clear choice. Levart’s broader integrations are appealing but unproven at this stage.
Edge: Exely.
Exely is rated 4.95/5 for ease of use, with reviews praising its intuitive interface, quick setup, and minimal learning curve. Users report that Exely’s platform makes updating rates and availability simple and fast, with many noting that staff adoption was seamless, and onboarding took days rather than weeks.
Levart has no recent reviews or user feedback available, so its ease of use remains unverified. Without firsthand accounts, it’s impossible to compare the user experience directly, but the absence of review data raises concerns about its usability for typical hotel teams.
Edge: Exely.
Exely offers unique features like support for weekly and monthly rates, integrated payment processing, an inventory grid, and booking performance reports—features not listed for Levart. Its 13 verified integrations include tools for rate management and online booking, with additional modules for analytics, helping your team make better decisions.
Levart’s standout features include over 100 integrations, PMS connectivity, unlimited channels, and yield rules—features that cater to larger, more complex distribution strategies. Although Levart’s broader connectivity is appealing, its feature set appears less tailored towards smaller hotels or those seeking detailed analytics.
Edge: Exely.
Exely’s 4.95/5 customer support rating is backed by recent reviews praising its responsiveness, professionalism, and proactive communication. Users describe the support team as quick to resolve issues and helpful during onboarding, with many stating support feels like a true partnership.
Levart has no recent reviews or publicly available feedback, making it impossible to assess the quality of its customer service. Given the importance of reliable support for operational continuity, Exely’s high ratings provide a clear advantage.
Edge: Exely.
Levart connects to over 100 channels, GDS, and metasearch engines, surpassing Exely’s 8 verified partners. While many shared integrations exist (like Oracle Hospitality and Mews), Levart’s broader network includes platforms such as Tripadvisor, Airbnb, Agoda, and RMS, making it suitable for properties with diverse distribution needs.
Exely’s 8 verified integrations cover key OTAs and channel management tools, with some integrations unique to its platform. For hotels seeking extensive connectivity to a wide array of channels, Levart’s higher partner count is attractive; however, the quality and performance of these integrations remain unverified.
Edge: Levart.
Exely’s 102 recent reviews and a 4.95/5 customer support rating show its high satisfaction levels among users. Hotels across segments—including boutique, city center, and resort properties—rate Exely highly for ease of use, efficiency, and support, with 98% likelihood to recommend.
Levart’s lack of recent reviews prevents any reliable assessment of user satisfaction. Its market presence in Asia Pacific is minimal, and without feedback, its hotel ratings and user experiences remain unknown.
Edge: Exely.
Exely’s pricing starts at $100 per month, with no free trial or implementation fees, making it transparent and predictable for your hotel’s budget. Levart does not publicly disclose pricing details, which may suggest custom quotes or variable costs depending on the level of integration needed.
Given the available data, Exely offers a straightforward pricing model, while Levart’s costs are less transparent and may vary significantly based on your property’s requirements.
Edge: Exely.
Not ideal if your hotel requires highly specialized integrations not supported by Exely or if your property is based exclusively in Asia Pacific, where Levart’s presence is stronger.
Not ideal if your hotel values proven support and user satisfaction, especially given Levart’s lack of recent reviews and limited regional presence.
Exely and Levart serve different priorities: Exely excels in ease of use, customer support, proven performance, and transparency, making it suitable for hotels valuing stability and simplicity. Levart offers a wider range of integrations and advanced features, appealing to larger or more complex distribution strategies, although its unverified reputation makes it a risk for smaller hotels.
Choose Exely if you prioritize a well-reviewed, straightforward platform with strong support and reliability. Opt for Levart if your distribution needs require many integrations and advanced rate management, and you are comfortable testing a less-reviewed platform.
In conclusion, for most hotels seeking a trusted, highly-rated channel manager, Exely’s proven track record makes it the safer, smarter choice. Levart’s broader connectivity may hold promise, but its unverified performance warrants caution unless your hotel’s distribution strategy demands its specific 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. Exely has an HT Score of 85 and Levart has 0. 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. |
