Choosing between Blastness Market Intelligence and Makcorps hinges on what your hotel needs most. Blastness offers a comprehensive rate shopping and revenue management platform with extensive features, while Makcorps provides a simple API for competitor price tracking. Your decision should depend on whether you want an all-in-one solution or a focused price comparison tool.
Both products aim to give you a competitive edge, but they serve different functions. Blastness focuses on market intelligence, dynamic pricing, and distribution, whereas Makcorps specializes in real-time OTA price comparisons. Do these differences align with your hotel’s strategic goals?
Blastness is designed to serve hotels seeking detailed market insights, revenue management, and multi-property management tools. Its features include competitor strategy monitoring, parity reporting, and performance analytics, all in a user-friendly platform. Makcorps, however, offers a straightforward API that lets travel businesses compare prices across 200+ OTAs with a simple request, making it ideal for companies needing quick, raw data.
Your hotel may benefit from Blastness if you need a full suite of revenue tools and detailed market analysis. Conversely, Makcorps is better suited if your team requires a quick, scalable way to track OTA prices without additional management features. Are you looking for an all-encompassing system or just a powerful competitor price tracker?
If your hotel needs a robust, integrated platform for rate shopping, revenue management, and multi-property oversight, Blastness is the clear choice. Its 14 reviews in the last six months show a high level of recent customer engagement, with a 5/5 customer support rating and a 4.93/5 value score—testament to its reliability and depth.
If, however, your team’s primary focus is on monitoring competitor prices across numerous OTAs via a flexible API, Makcorps offers a simple, cost-effective solution. Yet, it lacks recent reviews or customer support ratings, making Blastness the safer, more proven option for hotels that want comprehensive tools.
Blastness scores a perfect 5/5 for ease of use, with a highly rated onboarding process and an intuitive interface that most users find easy to navigate. Reviewers praise its user-friendly dashboards and helpful customer support that makes adoption smooth. Makcorps, on the other hand, offers a minimalistic API approach without a dedicated UI or onboarding process, which could be challenging for non-technical staff.
Edge: Blastness.
Blastness stands out with 22 unique features, including competitor strategy monitoring, parity reports, real-time updates, and advanced analytics dashboards. It covers rate comparisons, OTA rank tracking, local event monitoring, and multi-property management—features that Makcorps does not offer.
Makcorps focuses solely on its hotel price comparison API, providing access to over 200 OTAs with quick GET requests. Its limited feature set makes it ideal for raw price tracking but unsuitable for broader revenue management needs. Edge: Blastness.
Blastness boasts a perfect 5/5 customer support score, with recent reviews highlighting its proactive, responsive team. Customers describe the support as "supportive, proactive and quick to meet all our needs," and the onboarding as nearly perfect at 4.93/5. Makcorps, lacking recent reviews and customer support ratings, offers no evidence of dedicated support services.
Edge: Blastness.
Blastness integrates with 15 verified partners, including popular solutions like Oracle Hospitality, hotelcube, and Vertical Booking, providing extensive options for connecting your existing systems. Makcorps currently has no verified integrations, limiting its immediate usability within a hotel’s tech stack.
Edge: Blastness.
Blastness has a distinct advantage with 14 recent reviews in the last six months, maintaining a 5/5 overall rating and a 10/5 Net Promoter Score (NPS). Users across different hotel segments, including boutique and city-center hotels, find it highly valuable. Makcorps has no reviews or recent customer feedback, making it impossible to gauge user satisfaction.
Edge: Blastness.
Blastness does not publicly disclose its pricing but operates on a subscription model tailored to hotel size and needs, with no trial available. Makcorps also does not list prices, but its API-based model suggests a flexible, possibly tiered pricing structure. Both products lack transparent pricing, so your team should inquire directly for detailed quotes.
Not ideal if your hotel operates with very limited staff or if you lack technical resources to fully leverage analytics.
Not ideal if you want an all-in-one platform with support, dashboards, or additional revenue tools.
Blastness provides a comprehensive, well-supported platform that combines rate shopping, revenue management, and analytics, proven by recent reviews and high customer satisfaction. Its 22 features and multiple integrations make it suitable for hotels aiming to optimize revenue and streamline operations. Makcorps, meanwhile, offers a specialized API that enables quick price comparisons across OTAs, but it lacks the broader functionality and recent customer feedback needed for most hotels.
Choose Blastness if you want an all-in-one, reliable solution with ongoing support. Opt for Makcorps if your primary goal is to access competitor pricing data via API, and you have the technical capacity to implement it.
In conclusion, for hotels looking to actively manage revenue with proven tools and recent positive feedback, Blastness is the clear winner. Makcorps may serve niche needs but falls short in customer support, recent reviews, and feature depth.

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. Blastness has an HT Score of 0 and MakCorps has 0. 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. |
