When selecting a property management system (PMS), your hotel faces a critical choice: do you prioritize comprehensive features and extensive integrations, or do you need a highly rated, user-friendly platform with proven recent performance? Hotel Software by Acigrup offers a broad, centralized approach but lacks recent reviews and measurable user ratings. Conversely, Stayntouch provides a cloud-based, mobile-friendly PMS with a strong track record of recent user satisfaction and a robust set of features. Which platform aligns better with your priorities?
Both products aim to streamline hotel operations—Acigrup through a comprehensive system centered on core management functions, and Stayntouch through a cloud-based interface with extensive integrations. Acigrup's offering is less documented in recent reviews, with zero ratings or user feedback, making it difficult to gauge current performance or user satisfaction. Stayntouch, however, boasts over 300 reviews (with 26 in the last six months), a 4.56/5 overall rating, and a 94% likelihood to recommend, indicating clear market validation.
While Acigrup promotes a broad management tool, its lack of recent reviews raises questions about ongoing support, usability, and feature updates. Stayntouch’s high recent ratings reflect current user experiences, particularly around ease of use, support, and feature depth. If recent user feedback and proven market presence matter most to your decision, Stayntouch clearly stands out. Are you comfortable with less recent data, or do you prefer a system with verified, current user satisfaction?
If your hotel needs a cloud-based PMS with extensive third-party integrations, go with Stayntouch. Its 188 verified partners include system integrations like RoomPriceGenie and STAAH, as well as mobile check-in solutions, digital registration, and guest messaging—features that support both operational efficiency and guest satisfaction.
If your team prioritizes a simple, all-in-one management system without needing extensive third-party tools, or if your hotel operates in a region where Acigrup is more established, then Acigrup could be a consideration. However, given the absence of recent reviews and a lack of proven recent customer satisfaction data, Stayntouch remains the stronger option for most modern hotels seeking proven performance.
Stayntouch scores a 4.7/5 for ease of use, with users describing it as intuitive, quick to learn, and supportive of staff adoption. Recent reviews emphasize its friendly, mobile-enabled interface, with onboarding rated at 4.58/5, and support praised for responsiveness. Feedback highlights its simple navigation and effective training, making it suitable for hotels aiming for swift staff onboarding.
Acigrup, on the other hand, has zero reviews and ratings, making it impossible to assess its user experience or onboarding process. Without current feedback, we cannot confidently determine its ease of use. Based on available data and recent user sentiment, Edge: Stayntouch.
Stayntouch offers 49 unique features, including revenue management, group handling, online check-in, mobile app, digital registration, and real-time reporting—many of which are absent in Acigrup’s offering. Acigrup provides no detailed list of features beyond core property management, and no proprietary functionalities are documented.
Stayntouch’s broad feature set supports a range of hotel operations from housekeeping to guest communication and automated audits. This extensive functionality makes it easier to manage multiple aspects of hospitality without additional systems. Edge: Stayntouch.
Stayntouch’s customer support scores a high 4.68/5, with recent reviews highlighting friendly, responsive, and knowledgeable assistance. Users also commend the onboarding process, describing it as smooth and comprehensive, with dedicated support staff guiding implementation and ongoing use.
In contrast, Acigrup’s lack of recent reviews or ratings makes it impossible to evaluate support quality. Without recent feedback, we cannot verify its support responsiveness or effectiveness. Based on current data, Edge: Stayntouch.
Stayntouch boasts 188 verified partnerships, including integrations with revenue management, payment systems, contactless check-in, and digital guest communication tools. Shared integrations with Acigrup are nonexistent, and no verified partners are documented.
The extensive third-party integrations offered by Stayntouch enable hotels to customize and optimize their operations, reducing manual effort and improving guest experiences. Acigrup's limited data suggests fewer or no integrations at present. Edge: Stayntouch.
Stayntouch’s overall rating of 4.56/5, based on 317 recent reviews, indicates strong and consistent user approval—particularly among boutique, branded, and independent hotels, which rate it between 4.51 and 4.93 out of 5.
Acigrup’s rating is zero, with no available reviews, making it impossible to gauge user satisfaction. Given the recent, detailed feedback for Stayntouch, hotelier ratings favor it overwhelmingly. Edge: Stayntouch.
Acigrup does not publicly disclose pricing, suggesting a custom quote approach. Stayntouch charges $800 per month, with no free tier or trial, but the price includes extensive features, support, and onboarding.
While pricing details for Acigrup are unclear, the transparent $800/month fee for Stayntouch allows better cost planning, especially given its proven recent performance and features. If budget transparency and value are priorities, Stayntouch offers a clearer picture.
Not ideal if your hotel needs extensive integrations, mobile capabilities, or multi-property management. Acigrup’s limited recent data makes it a less predictable choice for dynamic or tech-forward hotels.
Not ideal if your hotel requires a localized, on-premise system or has minimal need for integrations and guest-facing features.
The core difference lies in proven recent user satisfaction and feature robustness—Stayntouch scores highly across ratings, reviews, and integrations, while Acigrup lacks current feedback and measurable performance data. For hotels prioritizing modern, cloud-based solutions with extensive third-party integrations and high user satisfaction, Stayntouch is the clear choice.
Select Acigrup if your hotel operates in regions with local support, has simple operational needs, and prefers an all-in-one management platform without extensive integrations. However, given the lack of recent reviews and transparency, many hotels will find Stayntouch’s proven track record more trustworthy.
In summary, if recent performance, user experience, and integration capabilities matter most, Stayntouch offers a more solid, tested solution. For operational simplicity in limited contexts, Acigrup may suffice—but proceed with caution and verify local support.
Note: This comprehensive comparison is based solely on available reviews, ratings, and documented features. Always validate current vendor offerings and support options directly before making a decision.

| 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. |
