Hospitality Software by Acigrup and ThinkReservations PMS serve the same core function: property management systems (PMS) designed to streamline hotel operations. However, they diverge sharply in their current market presence and feature completeness. Acigrup offers no verified reviews, no publicly available pricing, and zero confirmed integrations. ThinkReservations, by contrast, holds a 4.8/5 overall rating from 427 verified reviews, including 43 in the last six months with a perfect 5/5 rating. This indicates a mature, stable product actively used and supported in the market.
Both products aim to simplify daily hotel operations, from reservations and guest management to billing and reporting. They target property managers seeking to reduce manual work and increase operational clarity. Where they diverge is the extent of available features, integration depth, and user validation. Acigrup currently lacks evidence of customer adoption, which limits confidence in its reliability and scope. ThinkReservations stands out as a field-tested solution trusted by hundreds of small to medium properties, especially independent inns and boutique hotels.
If you operate a small to medium independent property in North America or similar markets, ThinkReservations is the data-backed choice. Its 427 reviews, including 43 recent five-star evaluations, reflect strong user satisfaction across segments such as bed & breakfasts (4.9/5 from 377 reviews) and boutique hotels (4.7/5 from 113 reviews). ThinkReservations’ documented case studies show measurable revenue growth—52% revenue increase for Blue Tang Inn and 24% upsell revenue growth for Zion Ponderosa—validating its impact on profitability.
In contrast, Hospitality Software by Acigrup has no verified reviews, no pricing transparency, no integrations, and no identifiable client testimonials or case studies. The lack of data makes it unsuitable for hotels needing proven, reliable technology. For hotels outside North America or very large operations, ThinkReservations’ limited global reach (9 countries) and focus on small to medium properties may be restrictive. However, current evidence overwhelmingly supports ThinkReservations for properties prioritizing operational efficiency, OTA connectivity, and revenue growth.
ThinkReservations scores 4.8/5 for ease of use and 4.7/5 for onboarding across 427 reviews. Users highlight its intuitive interface and straightforward navigation, which accelerate daily workflows like reservations, room assignments, and guest communications. Reviewers note that training videos and responsive support facilitate staff adoption, making operational transitions smoother. Although some request additional automation and calendar flexibility, the overall user experience supports quick learning and reliable daily use.
Acigrup has no recorded ratings or reviews to assess ease of use or onboarding. Without user feedback, evaluating its operational friendliness is impossible. While ThinkReservations clearly supports front desk and management teams with accessible tools and documentation, Acigrup remains an unknown in this dimension.
Edge: Even.
ThinkReservations offers 39 hotel-specific features that Hospitality Software by Acigrup does not. These include channel management and direct OTA connectivity (Booking.com, Expedia, Airbnb), integrated payment processing with PCI compliance, an advanced booking engine, guest communication tools such as SMS messaging and transactional emails, and a housekeeping module. The system also supports revenue management features like RevPar and ADR reports, automated night audits, multi-currency billing, and digital registration options including tablet/kiosk check-in.
Acigrup does not publicly list any unique features nor shared capabilities, with zero verified integrations or published functionality. This absence suggests it lacks critical operational tools that modern hotels rely on to manage distribution, guest experience, and financial workflows.
ThinkReservations’ feature set affects multiple hotel roles: front desk staff reduce manual booking and payment errors via automation; revenue managers access precise pricing reports; housekeeping teams coordinate room turnovers with the housekeeping module. Acigrup offers no evidence of comparable operational impact.
Edge: ThinkReservations.
ThinkReservations scores 4.8/5 for customer support and 4.7/5 for onboarding across hundreds of reviews. Users repeatedly praise its live-person support, noting accessibility by phone, chat, and email. Several reviews highlight the team’s hospitality knowledge and proactive problem-solving. Training videos and account managers help properties transition smoothly and optimize use.
Acigrup has no reported customer support ratings or testimonials. This absence means no assurance of responsive or knowledgeable service.
Edge: Even.
ThinkReservations has 17 verified integration partners including Sojern, Whistle, TrustYou, Triptease, Canary Technologies, INTELITY, Tripadvisor, Airbnb, and Expedia. These connections enable synchronized channel management, reputation monitoring, guest messaging, and direct OTA bookings, essential for properties focused on wide distribution and guest engagement.
Acigrup lists zero verified integrations and no partnerships, indicating it cannot currently connect to critical hotel technology ecosystems.
For hotels requiring streamlined OTA connectivity and marketing tools, ThinkReservations’ integration ecosystem is essential. Acigrup’s lack of integrations severely limits operational automation and revenue opportunities.
Edge: ThinkReservations.
ThinkReservations holds an overall rating of 4.8/5 from 427 reviews, with a 5/5 rating from 43 reviews in the last six months, indicating current user satisfaction. Review volume is strong across bed & breakfasts (4.9/5 from 377 reviews), boutique hotels (4.7/5 from 113 reviews), and resorts (4.8/5 from 94 reviews). This breadth of positive feedback across segments demonstrates consistent performance and adaptability.
Acigrup has no reviews, making it impossible to assess user satisfaction or reliability.
Edge: Even.
Acigrup does not publish pricing information, does not offer freemium or flat monthly pricing, and does not provide trial options. This opacity complicates budget planning and procurement.
ThinkReservations charges a base price of $500.00, with no implementation fee or trial offered. Pricing is transparent, allowing hotels to evaluate ROI against documented performance improvements.
The lack of pricing data for Acigrup restricts direct cost comparison.

Not ideal if:
Hospitality Software by Acigrup and ThinkReservations PMS both address the need for property management software, but only ThinkReservations demonstrates a mature, customer-validated solution. Acigrup lacks verified reviews, published features, integrations, and pricing. ThinkReservations provides a comprehensive PMS with 39 hotel-specific features, 17 integrations, and a strong reputation among nearly 500 hoteliers.
Choose ThinkReservations if your property values proven OTA connectivity, automated guest communications, integrated payments, and detailed reporting tools. Case studies document revenue increases of up to 52% and improved operational efficiency. Its user-friendly interface and responsive support help front desk staff and management alike.
Only consider Acigrup if you are ready to trial an unproven platform without community feedback or integration capabilities. For most hotels, ThinkReservations offers the operational depth and market presence necessary to support current and future hospitality demands.
Edge: ThinkReservations.

A significant number of reviews ask for more customization, including templates, dashboards, mobile app access, configurable fields, better unit prioritization, and more flexible workflows. While many users appreciate the steady product evolution, they also note that niche property types often need more adaptable tools than the default setup provides.

Users mention financial workflows such as QuickBooks integration, credit card handling, deposits, folios, and tax/accounting reporting. A recurring theme is the desire for more flexibility in expense/revenue categorization, better payment hardware support, and less manual payment entry.

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. Acigrup has an HT Score of 0 and ThinkReservations has 90. 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 →
