Choosing a hotel keyless entry system is crucial to modernize your property and improve guest satisfaction. Both INTELITY Guest Mobile Apps with Mobile Key and STAYmyway aim to provide contactless, smartphone-based access, but they differ significantly in scope, features, and market presence. Your decision hinges on which aligns best with your hotel's needs—scale, integration complexity, and desired features.
INTELITY offers a comprehensive platform with extensive integrations and proven guest experience enhancements, while STAYmyway presents a straightforward, cost-effective Bluetooth solution with limited features. Which system will truly elevate your property's operations and guest satisfaction?
Both products address the pressing demand for contactless access, but they approach it differently. INTELITY’s platform integrates mobile keys into its broader guest engagement system, offering 35 unique features, including in-room controls, messaging, and room service integrations, tailored for properties seeking a full digital guest experience. STAYmyway, however, focuses solely on transforming smartphones into keys, with just 2 features—Bluetooth and RFID options—making it a simpler, more targeted solution.
While INTELITY’s solution is suitable for hotels looking for a multi-faceted platform, STAYmyway emphasizes ease of implementation and affordability. Do you prefer a comprehensive system or a straightforward, lock-focused approach?
If your hotel needs a versatile, scalable platform that can handle multiple aspects of guest engagement—like messaging, in-room controls, digital directories, and integrations—INTELITY is the clear choice. Its 29 reviews over the last six months, with a 4.65/5 overall rating and a 95% likelihood to recommend, reflect strong recent performance and high user satisfaction.
If your primary goal is to implement a simple, cost-effective mobile key solution that works with existing locks or RFID hardware, and you don’t require extensive features, STAYmyway’s straightforward approach might suffice. However, its limited feature set means it’s less suited for properties seeking a full digital guest experience. Given INTELITY’s recent reviews and higher ratings, it’s the stronger option for most hotels.
INTELITY’s platform scores a 4.6/5 for ease of use, with high praise for its intuitive mobile and tablet interfaces, and a well-regarded onboarding process rated at 4.28/5. Reviewers highlight its simplicity for staff and guests, though some note minor interface improvements could be made. Support from their customer success team is consistently praised, often described as responsive and helpful.
STAYmyway, with no recent reviews, offers a simplified solution—likely easy to deploy given its focus on Bluetooth lock functionality. But the lack of detailed user feedback makes it difficult to assess the user experience fully.
Edge: INTELITY.
INTELITY boasts 35 unique features, including mobile check-in, messaging, in-room controls, analytics dashboards, digital menus, and integration with POS and PMS systems—covering a broad spectrum of guest and operational needs. STAYmyway offers just 2 features: Bluetooth-based keyless entry and RFID lock replacement, making it a minimalistic option.
The depth and variety of features in INTELITY indicate a more comprehensive solution that can support your hotel’s entire guest journey beyond just keyless entry. Edge: INTELITY.
INTELITY’s support ratings are high, with a 4.62/5 score and frequent praise for their proactive, helpful customer service. Reviewers mention that their customer success managers, such as Jessie, quickly resolve issues and provide valuable remote support, though some note occasional delays in technical support for specific features.
STAYmyway, lacking recent reviews, doesn’t have publicly available data on support quality. Its small team size (2 employees) suggests support might be more limited or less scalable for larger hotel operations.
Edge: INTELITY.
INTELITY integrates with over 56 verified partners, including major PMS and lock vendors like Innspire, Oracle Hospitality, Vingcard, and Hapi. This extensive partner network enables seamless operation across diverse hotel systems and simplifies integration for multi-property brands.
STAYmyway has just 7 verified partners, with only two integrations—Bluetooth and RFID hardware—limiting its flexibility. If extensive system compatibility matters, INTELITY’s broader integrations give it a clear advantage.
Edge: INTELITY.
INTELITY’s reviews emphasize its usability, feature depth, and support, reflected in a 4.65/5 overall rating and a 95% likelihood to recommend, based on 29 recent reviews. Hotels across segments—luxury, boutique, resorts—appreciate its comprehensive approach, with an average rating of 4.73/5 from resorts alone.
STAYmyway, with no recent reviews or high-profile customer feedback, cannot be assessed confidently. Given the data, INTELITY’s higher review volume and more recent positive feedback position it as the preferred choice.
Edge: INTELITY.
Pricing details for both products are not publicly disclosed, which is common for enterprise solutions. INTELITY’s model typically involves a setup fee and ongoing subscription costs depending on the scale, while STAYmyway emphasizes low-cost, turn-key implementation. However, given the more extensive features and integrations, INTELITY likely incurs higher costs but offers more value.
Not ideal if your hotel is small, budget-constrained, or only needs basic keyless entry without additional features.
Not ideal if you require a comprehensive guest experience platform or multi-system integrations.
INTELITY’s platform is a robust, multi-feature solution that integrates with numerous hotel systems, delivering an enhanced guest experience and operational efficiencies. Its broad feature set and high review scores make it suitable for hotels aiming for a strategic upgrade—especially in luxury, resort, or boutique segments.
STAYmyway offers a simple, cost-effective way to implement mobile key technology, ideal for properties with limited digital requirements or tight budgets. Its focus on Bluetooth and RFID hardware makes it less flexible but easier to deploy quickly.
If you want a comprehensive, scalable system backed by extensive support and integrations, INTELITY is the clear choice. For straightforward, budget-friendly access control, STAYmyway may suffice, but it lacks the broader capabilities and recent positive reviews that support INTELITY’s leadership in this space.

| 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. |
