Choosing the right Property Management System (PMS) is crucial for your hotel's operational efficiency, guest satisfaction, and revenue growth. Hogatex PMS by Hogatex offers a basic, less reviewed solution, but with no recent or extensive feedback, it’s difficult to gauge its suitability. Stayntouch, on the other hand, boasts over 317 reviews—26 in the last six months—showing consistent recent user feedback and a high 94% likelihood to recommend. Given the data, Stayntouch clearly leads in reliability and ongoing support.
Both products aim to streamline hotel operations, but Hogatex’s minimal review presence and lack of verified integrations or regional presence make it a less competitive choice. How do these differences impact your decision?
Hogatex PMS is described as a comprehensive system that integrates reservations, front desk, housekeeping, and billing into a single platform. However, it has no verified reviews, no recent feedback, and a score of 0/5. This lack of data suggests either limited market presence or poor customer satisfaction.
Stayntouch, by contrast, is highly rated with a 4.56/5 overall score, supported by 317 reviews, including 26 recent ones, and a 94% recommendation rate. It offers extensive features such as revenue management, online check-in, guest apps, and multi-property management.
While Hogatex's capabilities remain uncertain, Stayntouch's proven track record indicates it effectively solves operational and guest service issues. Do you want a PMS with proven recent performance or an unverified option?
If your hotel operates multiple properties, needs a broad set of features like revenue management, online check-in, and extensive integrations, Stayntouch is the obvious choice. Its high user ratings, positive recent reviews, and wide industry adoption make it suitable for mid-sized to large hotels or chains.
In contrast, Hogatex's limited data and zero verified reviews make it unsuitable for hotels prioritizing reliability and proven support. For small independent hotels or those seeking a basic system without extensive integrations, Hogatex might seem attractive, but the lack of recent validation makes it risky.
In summary, choose Stayntouch if scalability, extensive features, and proven customer satisfaction matter. If your needs are minimal, and you can accept the unknowns, Hogatex could be considered—though it’s not recommended.
Stayntouch scores a 4.7/5 in ease of use, with reviewers praising its intuitive interface, mobile capabilities, and quick onboarding. Multiple reviews mention how staff learn the system rapidly, and training is described as efficient and simple.
Hogatex, with a 0/5 rating, provides no user feedback or review data, making its ease of use impossible to evaluate. Without recent reviews or user ratings, it's unclear how your team would adapt or the level of support offered.
Edge: Stayntouch.
Stayntouch offers 49 features exclusive to its platform, including revenue management, online check-in, mobile apps, guest profiles, integrated payments, and real-time reporting. Its feature set is extensive, supporting automation and multi-property management that many hotels require.
Hogatex, with no verified features beyond basic integration, provides no detailed feature list or customer validation. This lack of information suggests it may not support advanced operations or integrations needed for modern hotel management.
Edge: Stayntouch.
Stayntouch’s support ratings are high at 4.68/5, with reviews highlighting efficient onboarding, responsive support teams, and helpful training. Customers frequently mention the ease of reaching support and the support team's proactive approach.
Hogatex offers no recent support reviews, and with a zero rating, it's impossible to assess its responsiveness or quality. The absence of verified customer feedback on support raises concerns about post-sales service.
Edge: Stayntouch.
Stayntouch has 188 verified integrations with third-party vendors, including revenue management, channel managers, and contactless check-in solutions. It supports unlimited interfaces, open APIs, and seamless connectivity, making it adaptable to various hotel systems.
Hogatex has no verified integrations or partner data, limiting its compatibility with modern third-party systems. This restricts scalability and operational flexibility, especially for hotels relying on a broad tech ecosystem.
Edge: Stayntouch.
Stayntouch boasts a 4.56/5 rating based on 317 reviews, with recent feedback in the last six months confirming ongoing satisfaction. Hotels across segments, especially boutique and independent properties, praise its ease of use and support.
Hogatex has no reviews or ratings available, making it impossible to gauge user satisfaction. The absence of recent feedback suggests limited market traction or unresolved support issues.
Edge: Stayntouch.
Hogatex provides no publicly available pricing information, suggesting it might be a niche or customized solution. Conversely, Stayntouch charges $800 monthly, with no free tier or trial, positioning it as a mid-range investment aligned with its comprehensive feature set.
Pricing aside, the clear differentiation is that Stayntouch’s costs are transparent, while Hogatex’s are not, which can impact budgeting and decision-making.
Not ideal if your hotel needs scalability, real-time data, or multi-property oversight.
Not ideal if your hotel requires a low-cost, minimal system with limited features and no need for extensive support or integrations.
Stayntouch is the clear leader, with a proven track record supported by over 300 recent reviews, a high user recommendation rate, and extensive features. Its scalability makes it suitable for a broad range of hotel types, especially those with multiple properties or complex operational needs.
Hogatex’s limited data and lack of recent reviews suggest it is not a reliable choice for hotels seeking proven support, advanced features, or integration capabilities. Its undefined status makes it a risky option, especially for hotels aiming to modernize or scale.
In conclusion, if your hotel values proven performance, extensive features, and ongoing support, Stayntouch is the recommended choice. Hogatex may only appeal to very small, simple operations willing to accept unverified service quality.

| 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. |
