ROH by ROH clearly stands out as the better payments processing solution for hotels based on verified user data. ROH maintains an overall rating of 4.9/5 across 88 reviews, including 21 recent ones with a 4.7/5 score, reflecting consistent satisfaction. Fortis by Fortis lacks any verified reviews or ratings, making it impossible to verify its current market performance or user satisfaction.
Both products aim to simplify the complex hospitality payments process by integrating with property management systems and improving cash flow visibility. However, ROH delivers with a suite of 19 distinct features focused on automating invoicing, contract management, and payment flexibility, while Fortis offers no publicly documented features or user feedback. Hotels seeking proven impact and operational improvement should consider ROH.
If you operate a hotel in North America, Europe, or Asia Pacific looking for a comprehensive payments platform with proven market adoption, ROH is the clear choice. Its 88 reviews come from diverse hotel types including luxury (17%), branded (13%), resorts (10%), and boutique hotels (5%), with segment ratings consistently above 4.8/5. This breadth of use and high satisfaction indicates ROH fits a wide range of hospitality properties.
If your property demands advanced payment features such as pre-authorizations, recurring payments, and installment plans, ROH’s 19 unique features provide operational workflows Fortis does not document. Fortis’s lack of reviews and feature disclosures means its fit is unproven. Hotels with specialized payment needs or that require seamless integration with Oracle Hospitality or Stayntouch will find ROH more suitable. Due to no available data on Fortis users or features, no definitive recommendation can be made for it at this time.
ROH scores 4.9/5 for ease of use and onboarding from 88 verified reviews, with users consistently praising its intuitive interface that requires minimal training for front desk and sales teams. Reviewers note that ROH simplifies complex payment and contracting workflows, enabling staff to close business faster and reduce manual errors. Fortis has no verified reviews or ratings on ease of use or onboarding, providing no basis for comparison.
Reviewers particularly appreciate ROH’s user-friendly document signing and payment scheduling, which front desk managers and sales teams find straightforward. This reduces training overhead and accelerates adoption across departments. Without data on Fortis, the edge is based solely on ROH’s strong evidence.
Edge: Even.
ROH offers 19 hotel-relevant payment features that Fortis does not disclose or provide. These include refund management, pre-authorizations, payment splitting, pay by link, partial capture, recurring payments, multiple card types acceptance (Apple Pay, Google Pay, Visa, Amex, Mastercard, Discover, Diners Club), chargeback management, payment tokenization, PCI compliance, authorization adjustments, and multi-processor gateway support.
Operationally, these features enable front desk and finance teams to process diverse payment scenarios, automate collections, reduce fraud risk, and manage chargebacks within a single platform. ROH’s support for installment plans and recurring payments is critical for hotels managing group bookings or long-term stays.
Fortis lists no unique features, making ROH the clear leader in functional depth. The lack of any disclosed Fortis features means hotels needing robust payment workflows will regret choosing it today.
Edge: ROH.
ROH maintains a customer support rating of 4.9/5 with 88 reviews and an onboarding score of 4.9/5. Reviewers highlight ROH’s responsive support and quick resolution times, critical for hotels relying on uninterrupted payment processing. One user noted, “Customer service is top notch, whenever I reach out I do get a quick response.”
Fortis has no verified reviews or ratings for customer support or onboarding, providing no evidence of support quality. Without data, no reliable comparison can be drawn beyond recognizing ROH’s demonstrated support excellence.
Edge: Even.
ROH has 2 verified integrations: Oracle Hospitality and Stayntouch, both prominent hotel technology platforms. These integrations facilitate synchronization between ROH’s payment platform and hotel property management or point-of-sale systems, reducing manual data entry and improving operational accuracy.
Fortis lists only 1 verified integration with Yanolja Cloud Solution, a hospitality platform primarily serving the Asia Pacific region. ROH’s broader integration footprint across established global hotel systems suits multinational and branded hotels better.
Edge: ROH.
ROH has 88 verified reviews averaging 4.9/5 overall and 4.7/5 in the last 6 months, showing sustained high satisfaction. Fortis has no reviews, preventing any rating comparison. ROH’s high volume and recency of reviews make its ratings reliable and representative of current product quality.
Segment-specific ratings for ROH include 5/5 for city center hotels (47 reviews), airport/conference hotels (32 reviews), and luxury hotels (50 reviews), indicating broad appeal across property types. Boutique hotels (44 reviews) and resorts (35 reviews) rate ROH at 4.8 to 4.9/5, confirming consistent performance.
Edge: Even.
Fortis does not publish any pricing information, neither base fees nor implementation costs. This opacity complicates budget forecasting and vendor evaluation.
ROH charges a base price of $100.00 but does not disclose flat monthly fees, per-room charges, or implementation fees. ROH does not offer a free trial. While pricing is partially transparent, hotels must contact ROH for full cost details.
Without published pricing for Fortis, ROH’s disclosed base price provides at least a starting point for financial planning.

Not ideal if:
The fundamental difference is that ROH by ROH offers a fully documented, highly rated payments platform with 19 hotel-specific features and verified integrations, whereas fortis by Fortis lacks verifiable user feedback, detailed features, and pricing transparency. ROH delivers operational workflows that save front desk and finance teams time by automating invoicing, payments, and contract management.
Choose ROH if your hotel needs proven ease of use, broad feature coverage including recurring payments and multi-card acceptance, and seamless integration with global hotel systems like Oracle Hospitality. ROH’s strong ratings and case study results show it improves cash flow and operational efficiency.
There is no current evidence to justify selecting Fortis over ROH for hotel payments processing. Until Fortis publishes verified reviews and demonstrates feature parity or unique capabilities, ROH remains the confident choice for properties prioritizing reliability, functionality, and user satisfaction.

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. Fortis has an HT Score of 0 and ROH has 100. 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 →
