Your hotel is evaluating contactless check-in platforms—LIKE MAGIC (Check-in) by LIKE MAGIC and OKKAMI Contactless Check-In by OKKAMI INC. Both aim to streamline guest arrivals, reduce front desk congestion, and enhance guest experiences. While they share the core goal, their features, support, and market presence differ substantially, impacting which is best suited for your property’s needs.
LIKE MAGIC dominates in review volume and recent feedback, indicating a more mature product with proven results. Meanwhile, OKKAMI, although less reviewed, offers certain unique features like automatic translations and PCI compliance. The key question: which platform aligns better with your hotel’s operational scale and guest expectations?
LIKE MAGIC’s platform is built around a comprehensive guest journey, combining contactless check-in, digital keys, and automation, supported by 29 reviews with 2 recent ones. It scores a high 74.02 on the HT Score and boasts a 99% likelihood of recommendation, reflecting strong user confidence. In contrast, OKKAMI INC has no reviews or ratings, making it difficult to assess real-world performance.
The core difference lies in maturity: LIKE MAGIC’s platform has been tested and refined, while OKKAMI’s offering appears more nascent, with no publicly available user feedback. LIKE MAGIC’s emphasis on guest self-service and automation contrasts with OKKAMI’s focus on pre-arrival document uploads and express check-out. Which features are more aligned with your hotel’s current and future needs?
If your hotel prioritizes a well-established platform with proven efficacy and a high user satisfaction rate, LIKE MAGIC is the clear choice. Its suite of features, including contactless check-in, digital keys, and a guest journey app, is backed by nearly 30 reviews, with recent feedback emphasizing ease of use and operational efficiency. It’s especially suited for hotels aiming to reduce staffing while improving guest experience.
If your hotel needs specific functionalities like automatic translations, PCI compliance, or easy room selection, and you’re comfortable exploring a less proven solution, OKKAMI INC might be worth considering. However, without review data, there’s greater risk in terms of reliability and user satisfaction. For most hoteliers seeking a verified, robust solution, LIKE MAGIC offers the more dependable choice.
LIKE MAGIC’s UI receives a 4.9/5 rating, reflecting a highly intuitive interface favored by users. Its onboarding process is rated 4.78/5, and support reviews highlight a support team rated 4.83/5, indicating strong customer service. Reviewers praise its simplicity, highlighting that guests can check in without downloading apps—just clicking a link.
OKKAMI has yet to provide user ratings or reviews, making it impossible to gauge ease of use. Its features, such as document uploads and mobile check-out, seem straightforward but lack the social proof that reassures new users. Based on current data, edge: LIKE MAGIC.
LIKE MAGIC offers 16 shared features along with one unique feature: Lobby Kiosk, supporting in-person self-service check-in. Its additional features include full guest journey management, automated task handling, and integrations with various PMS and key systems.
OKKAMI provides three exclusive features: automatic translations, PCI compliance, and easy room selection, which are not available in LIKE MAGIC. While these are valuable for certain markets, the overall feature set of LIKE MAGIC is broader and more tested, providing a more complete contactless solution.
Edge: LIKE MAGIC.
LIKE MAGIC’s customer support is rated 4.83/5, with reviews praising its responsiveness and onboarding assistance. Hoteliers note that support helps streamline staff training and quickly resolves issues, making implementation smoother and less disruptive.
OKKAMI has no review data to evaluate support quality. As a relatively newer and less reviewed platform, support reliability remains unverified. For stability and confidence in ongoing assistance, edge: LIKE MAGIC.
LIKE MAGIC integrates with 10 verified partners, including major systems like Oracle Hospitality, Mews, and SALTO Systems. It supports a variety of integrations—covering property management, access control, and online booking channels.
OKKAMI connects with 12 verified partners, including Infor, Amadeus, and HotelKey. While it offers a slightly broader selection, the real-world integration performance isn’t yet proven through reviews.
Given LIKE MAGIC’s established reputation and proven integration success, edge: LIKE MAGIC.
LIKE MAGIC’s review score of 74.02 and 29 reviews—two of which are recent—show strong user satisfaction, especially in Europe and Asia Pacific. Its users consistently praise its ease of use, support, and the efficiency it brings.
OKKAMI, lacking any reviews or ratings, cannot be rated by hoteliers. This absence makes it impossible to determine user satisfaction or property-specific performance.
Edge: LIKE MAGIC.
LIKE MAGIC charges a flat base price of $700, with no mention of implementation fees or ongoing costs. It does not offer a freemium model or per-room charges, simplifying budgeting.
Pricing data for OKKAMI INC isn’t publicly available, with no mention of fees, subscriptions, or trial options. Without transparent pricing, assessing value becomes conjectural.
Based on available data, edge: LIKE MAGIC for clear, predictable pricing.

| 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. |

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?

| 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. |
