Choosing the right property management system (PMS) can define your hotel's operational efficiency, guest experience, and profitability. Both Acigrup’s Hotel Software and ThinkReservations PMS aim to simplify hotel management, but their capabilities, support, and market presence differ significantly. Your decision should depend on your hotel’s size, complexity, and growth plans, as well as specific features you need.
While Acigrup offers a foundational system, ThinkReservations provides a full suite of integrated tools and recent, highly-rated support. Are you prepared for the more extensive features and proven track record of ThinkReservations?
Acigrup’s Hotel Software is marketed as a comprehensive hotel management solution, claiming to streamline reservations, check-ins, billing, and reporting. However, it’s notable that it has no reviews, ratings, or recent user feedback, making its actual performance and usability uncertain.
In contrast, ThinkReservations boasts over 356 reviews, with recent feedback in the last six months reinforcing its effectiveness. Its 4.88/5 overall rating and 97% likelihood to recommend reflect strong user satisfaction, especially for small to mid-sized hotels.
Both products aim to handle reservations and operational tasks, but ThinkReservations’ current review volume and recent positive feedback give it a clear advantage. Are you comfortable choosing a system with no user data or reviews?
If your hotel needs a fully integrated platform that handles booking, guest communication, and revenue management, ThinkReservations is the clear choice. Its suite includes channel management, online booking engine, automated messaging, and upselling tools, tailored for small and boutique hotels.
If your hotel operates on a very limited budget or requires only basic management, Acigrup might seem attractive—though the lack of reviews and proven features makes this risky. Larger hotels or those aiming to grow should prioritize ThinkReservations for its proven track record and feature set.
For hoteliers seeking a scalable, well-supported product with recent reviews and high satisfaction, ThinkReservations stands out. Would you prefer a system backed by user feedback or an untested solution?
Based on available ratings, ThinkReservations scores 4.82/5 for ease of use, with users highlighting its intuitive interface and straightforward onboarding. Reviewers note that the platform is “very easy to learn” and “easy to navigate,” making staff adoption smooth.
Acigrup’s ease of use is rated 0/5, with no current user reviews or feedback, making it impossible to assess its usability or onboarding experience. The absence of reviews raises concerns about how user-friendly or reliable the system truly is.
Edge: ThinkReservations.
ThinkReservations offers 39 unique features, including a channel manager, booking engine, guest messaging, automated night audit, multi-currency support, and real-time reporting. Many of these are standard in modern PMS but are notably absent from Acigrup, which only claims to provide core hotel management functions without detailed feature disclosures.
Acigrup’s lack of features or specific integrations makes it less appealing for hotels needing comprehensive operational tools. ThinkReservations’ extensive feature set supports a wide range of hotel types and operational needs, making it the more capable choice.
Edge: ThinkReservations.
ThinkReservations maintains a high customer support rating of 4.82/5, with reviews praising its accessible, knowledgeable team and prompt responses. Users frequently describe support as “excellent,” “helpful,” and “responsive,” contributing to smooth onboarding and ongoing use.
Acigrup’s support scores are unreported, with no recent user reviews to gauge responsiveness or quality. Given the critical role support plays in hotel management, the absence of transparent support ratings or feedback suggests that ThinkReservations is the safer choice.
Edge: ThinkReservations.
ThinkReservations has verified integration partnerships with 16 platforms, including major OTAs (Airbnb, Expedia, Tripadvisor), payment processors, and other tools like Sojern and TrustYou. This broad ecosystem simplifies distribution, payments, and guest engagement.
Acigrup offers no verified integrations or partnerships, which could limit your hotel’s connectivity and growth potential. For hotels aiming to expand online distribution and streamline operations through integrations, ThinkReservations provides a clear advantage.
Edge: ThinkReservations.
Since Acigrup has no reviews, ratings, or recent feedback, it cannot be favorably compared based on user sentiment. ThinkReservations, with 356 reviews, enjoys a 4.88/5 rating, and recent reviews reinforce its high performance.
Hotels in the small to boutique segment particularly rate ThinkReservations highly, citing improvements in operational efficiency and guest experience. Its recent reviews and high NPS score (9.68/5) make it the more trusted system among hoteliers.
Edge: ThinkReservations.
Acigrup’s pricing details are not publicly available, which complicates budget planning or comparison. Its lack of a free trial or transparent pricing indicates potential hidden costs or less flexibility.
ThinkReservations charges a flat fee of $500 per month, with no setup or additional channel management fees. This predictable pricing model and the absence of hidden costs make it easier for your hotel to evaluate ROI and budget accordingly.
Edge: ThinkReservations.
Not ideal if:
Given the lack of reviews, Acigrup is better suited for experimental or very small properties, not for hotels seeking reliability and growth.
Not ideal if:
ThinkReservations’ extensive features and recent support reviews make it a strong fit for properties seeking dependable operational tools.
Acigrup’s Hotel Software appears to be a basic property management solution, but its lack of reviews and feature transparency leave its actual performance in question. Conversely, ThinkReservations offers a proven, well-rounded platform with recent positive feedback, frequent updates, and a high customer satisfaction score.
If you prioritize reliability, robust features, and excellent support, ThinkReservations is the clear choice. It’s suited for small to mid-sized hotels wanting to grow and improve guest experiences, especially given its recent reviews and high ratings.
Choose Acigrup only if you need a very basic, no-cost solution for a minimal-operations property, accepting the risk of limited support and unverified performance.
In summary, for most hotels seeking dependable, feature-rich, and well-supported PMS, ThinkReservations offers a clear advantage. Its recent reviews and high satisfaction ratings make it a safer, more effective investment for your hotel’s future.

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 89. 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 →
