Choosing the right guest app for your hotel is essential to elevate the guest experience and streamline operations. Both LasoExperience and STAY aim to improve guest engagement and operational efficiency, but they diverge significantly in features, user feedback, and market presence. Understanding these differences can help you make a confident decision aligned with your hotel’s needs.
LasoExperience offers a broad set of tools focused on personalized guest relationships and revenue growth, but it lacks recent review data and has a very low rating. STAY, on the other hand, boasts a strong recent review base, high satisfaction scores, and extensive integrations, making it a more reliable choice for most hoteliers today.
Are you ready to see which product better suits your hotel’s priorities?
LasoExperience and STAY serve the same core purpose—enhancing guest communication and operational efficiency—but their approach and maturity differ markedly. LasoExperience is marketed as a comprehensive guest relationship platform, offering hyper-personalized experiences and automation tools. However, it has zero ratings or recent reviews, indicating limited current user feedback, which raises questions about its ongoing support and development.
STAY, by contrast, has accumulated over 200 reviews in the past six months alone, with a 4.83/5 customer support rating and a 9.59/10 net promoter score. These recent reviews highlight real-world success stories, such as reducing queues and increasing revenue at large chains like NH Hotels and Riu, making the platform a more tangible choice for hotels prioritizing proven performance.
Given the lack of recent data and user feedback for LasoExperience, do you want a product with current, verified hotel experiences or are you open to exploring a less tested solution?
If your hotel needs a guest relationship platform that emphasizes personalized marketing, automation, and revenue opportunities, LasoExperience might seem appealing. Its unique features include AI-driven guest recommendations and a CRM/CDP system designed to deepen guest engagement. However, with no recent reviews and a current 0/5 rating, its performance and support remain unverified.
STAY is the clear choice if your hotel prioritizes operational efficiency and proven guest satisfaction. It has extensive integrations (20 verified partners, including major PMS and CRM systems), a 4.78/5 ease of use rating, and over 200 recent reviews with a 96% likelihood to recommend. Large chains like NH Hotels and Riu have successfully implemented STAY to improve services and reduce costs, reflecting its reliability.
For most hotels seeking a tested, well-supported platform, STAY's recent data and high user ratings make it the definitive choice. Do you prefer a platform with proven results or one that lacks current user validation?
LasoExperience’s user interface and onboarding process are not rated or reviewed, which makes assessing ease of use difficult. Its minimal presence in recent reviews suggests limited deployment or awareness among current users, leaving questions about staff adoption and daily usability.
STAY has a well-documented ease of use rating of 4.78/5, with reviews praising its intuitive interface, straightforward CMS, and quick onboarding. Hotels like NH and Dolce Sitges highlight how simple it is to implement and manage, with minimal training needed.
Edge: STAY.
LasoExperience offers 10 shared features and one unique feature: Mobile Check-in. Its AI-driven tools for guest profiling and marketing automation are notable but not extensively reviewed or validated.
STAY provides 10 shared features plus 4 exclusive features—Mobile App, Chatbot, Automated Replies, and Message Routing—that enhance communication and operational automation. Its features are well-integrated, tested across large hotel groups, and backed by positive recent reviews.
The breadth and depth of STAY’s features, especially its chat and automation capabilities, give it a significant advantage. Edge: STAY.
LasoExperience’s support ratings are unavailable, and reviews provide no recent feedback, which suggests limited current support activity or hotel experience.
STAY’s support scores of 4.83/5 and recent positive reviews emphasize responsive, helpful assistance. Hotels like VIVA Wyndham and NH Hotels mention how support helped them optimize implementation and resolve issues quickly, reinforcing confidence in STAY’s service.
Edge: STAY.
LasoExperience integrates with only 3 verified partners, including Oracle Hospitality, Maestro PMS, and Book4Time, limiting its connectivity options. This restricts seamless data flow across your hotel’s existing systems.
STAY boasts 20 verified integrations, including major PMS, CRM, and channel management systems like Hotelkit, Mews, SiteMinder, and Unifocus. Its extensive ecosystem supports smoother data exchange, automation, and operational cohesion.
Edge: STAY.
LasoExperience has zero reviews, making it impossible to gauge user sentiment or satisfaction levels.
STAY has accumulated over 200 recent reviews, with an average rating of 4.61/5 and a likelihood to recommend of 96%. Hoteliers specifically praise its role in improving guest satisfaction, operational efficiency, and revenue. Large chains and independent hotels alike have reported tangible benefits.
Edge: STAY.
LasoExperience does not disclose pricing details, and no trial or demo information is available, making budgeting difficult.
STAY charges a flat $300 monthly fee with no implementation or setup costs, and no trial info is provided. While not the cheapest option, its proven value and extensive features justify the cost.
If budget is a concern, STAY’s transparent pricing provides clarity; if you need detailed cost comparisons for LasoExperience, that information is lacking.
Not ideal if:
Not ideal if:
LasoExperience presents itself as a comprehensive guest relationship tool, emphasizing personalization and automation, but it currently lacks recent, verified reviews. Its absence of current user feedback and low rating cast doubt on its ability to deliver consistent results for hotels today.
STAY offers a well-supported, highly rated platform with extensive integrations and proven success stories across large hotel chains. Its recent reviews, high satisfaction scores, and diverse feature set make it the more dependable choice for hoteliers aiming to improve guest experience and operational efficiency efficiently.
For most hotels seeking a reliable, well-rated guest app with tangible results, STAY stands out as the superior option. If you need a proven platform with recent user validation, STAY is the clear winner.

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. LasoExperience has an HT Score of 0 and STAY has 47. 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 →
