Choosing between Hotellistat and Makcorps depends on your hotel’s specific needs. Hotellistat offers an all-in-one rate shopping and revenue management platform tailored for hotels, while Makcorps provides a hotel price comparison API geared more toward travel agencies and intermediaries. Both aim to improve market positioning, but they approach it differently.
Hotellistat’s comprehensive suite of features and proven track record make it the more dependable choice for hotels seeking detailed market insights. Makcorps’s API, while valuable for price tracking, lacks the depth of hotel-specific tools and recent reviews. So, which suits your hotel better?
Hotellistat’s core strength lies in its ability to provide real-time competitor rate monitoring, detailed analytics, and automation tools within a single platform, making it ideal for dynamic revenue strategies. Makcorps, on the other hand, primarily offers a price comparison API with broad OTA coverage, serving mainly travel agencies or third-party resellers.
Hotellistat has a 5/5 overall rating from 18 recent reviews, with a high likelihood (92%) of recommending it, reflecting strong user satisfaction. Makcorps has no recent reviews or overall rating, making its reliability and user experience less transparent.
Are you looking for an integrated hotel rate management system or a simple API for competitor price tracking?
If your hotel needs a comprehensive rate shopping platform that integrates with your PMS, offers detailed analytics, and supports automation, Hotellistat is the clear winner. Its features include multi-property management, real-time updates, parity monitoring, and detailed competitor analysis, making it suitable for boutique, branded, and city-center hotels.
If your team is primarily seeking a straightforward API to access competitor pricing data from over 200 OTAs to inform pricing decisions externally, Makcorps may suffice. However, its lack of recent reviews and detailed hotel-specific features make it less compelling for property management use.
For hotels prioritizing in-depth analytics and automation, Hotellistat is the better fit. For travel agencies or resellers that just want a quick price comparison API, Makcorps could work — but limited hotel-specific tools weaken its appeal.
Hotellistat scores a 4.39/5 for ease of use, with an onboarding rating of 4.46/5, reflecting a user-friendly interface and strong support during setup. Its platform consolidates multiple tools into one dashboard, making navigation straightforward even for teams new to rate management software.
Makcorps offers a hotel price comparison API, which requires technical knowledge to implement. Its API-centric approach means less emphasis on user interface and more on backend integration, which may be challenging for non-technical teams.
Edge: Hotellistat.
Hotellistat offers 24 unique features, including room and rate filtering, multi-property management, custom dashboards, rate intelligence, OTA rank tracking, discrepancy alerts, and historical trend analysis. Its open API supports extensive integrations, and features like parity monitoring and real-time updates are tailored for hotel revenue teams.
Makcorps provides an API that covers over 200 OTAs for price comparison, but it lacks the broad feature set of Hotellistat. It does not include analytics, automation, or hotel-specific tools, only offering raw competitor pricing data.
Edge: Hotellistat.
Hotellistat’s support rating is 4.72/5, with reviews highlighting fast, reliable communication and dedicated onboarding assistance. Clients like Haus im Tal and MOMA1890 praised its responsiveness and strategic guidance, which is crucial for hotels investing heavily in rate management.
Makcorps provides no recent reviews or detailed support ratings, making it difficult to assess their customer service quality. Its limited presence and lack of client feedback put it at a disadvantage.
Edge: Hotellistat.
Hotellistat integrates with 17 verified partners, including major PMS and channel managers like Fairmas, apaleo, protel, and Mews. Its open API allows further customization and connects with systems already in your hotel.
Makcorps, in contrast, has no verified integrations, functioning solely as an API without pre-built connections or an ecosystem. This limits its utility without significant technical effort.
Edge: Hotellistat.
Hotellistat’s recent reviews consistently rate it at 5/5, with hotels of various sizes praising its analytics, automation, and ease of use. The high NPS score of 9.17/10 and 92% recommendation rate reflect strong satisfaction across different hotel segments.
Makcorps lacks recent reviews or ratings, making it impossible to gauge user satisfaction. Its apparent niche focus on API data access doesn’t translate into hotel-specific user experiences.
Edge: Hotellistat.
Hotellistat’s pricing starts at $300 per month, with no trial or freemium options. Pricing may vary depending on the size of your property portfolio and specific requirements, but it’s transparent and consistent.
Makcorps does not publicly disclose pricing details or subscription models. Its API is likely priced based on usage or custom agreements, making it less transparent.
Not ideal if you prefer a simple API or are only interested in basic competitor price checks.
Not ideal if you require detailed hotel-specific analytics, automation, or support.
Hotellistat is a dedicated rate shopping and revenue management system tailored for hotels, with a proven track record reflected in recent, positive reviews. It provides a broad set of features, integrations, and strategic insights, making it suitable for hotels that want to optimize their pricing and stay competitive.
Makcorps offers a useful API for price comparison across OTAs but lacks the hotel-specific tools, recent user feedback, and integrations necessary for direct hotel management. Its value lies more in enabling external pricing analysis than in providing a full revenue management solution.
If your hotel needs a reliable, feature-rich platform to manage and automate your rates, Hotellistat is the clear choice. If you only require a simple, API-based competitor price check, Makcorps might serve your technical team — but with significant limitations.

| 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. |
