Choosing between Duve App by Duve and the Mobile App (STAYmyway) by Staymyway hinges on your hotel’s specific needs. Duve offers a comprehensive guest management platform combining communication, upselling, and contactless check-in, while Staymyway primarily provides a digital key solution with basic guest interaction features. Your decision should align with whether your focus is on a full-service guest experience or a streamlined access solution.
Duve’s extensive feature set and larger review base give it a distinct advantage for hotels seeking an all-in-one platform. Conversely, Staymyway’s simplicity and digital key focus might suit properties prioritizing access management over broader guest engagement.
Duve and Staymyway fundamentally serve different hotel needs. Duve’s platform is built for operators wanting to streamline guest communication, automate check-ins, and upsell services, which directly impacts revenue and guest satisfaction. Staymyway, however, is a digital key provider designed to enhance access without extensive guest interaction features.
While Duve boasts a 4.75/5 overall rating from nearly 500 reviews, its recent reviews and higher engagement levels reinforce its market strength. Staymyway’s zero ratings and reviews suggest limited market presence and less recent validation. Do you prioritize a holistic guest experience or just mobile room access?
If your hotel needs a platform to handle booking communications, digital check-in, upselling, and guest engagement, go with Duve. It’s ideal for mid to large properties aiming to automate operations, boost revenue, and improve guest satisfaction with over 496 reviews and a 4.75/5 rating.
If your priority is providing a mobile key for simple access and minimal guest interaction, Staymyway might be sufficient. However, with no recent reviews or ratings, it’s less proven at scale and unlikely to support complex guest service needs. For most hotels, Duve offers a more complete solution.
Duve’s ease of use is highly rated at 4.73/5, with many reviews praising its intuitive interface and smooth onboarding process, which facilitates staff adoption and guest engagement. Its comprehensive features are designed to be accessible, though some users note the initial setup can be complex due to its richness.
Staymyway, lacking detailed user feedback, likely offers a straightforward app for digital key access. But without reviews, it’s unclear how user-friendly the platform truly is in real-world hotel operations. Edge: Duve.
Duve provides 23 exclusive features, including WhatsApp integration, automated replies, messaging surveys, mobile check-in, room service ordering, and multi-lingual translations. These features enable full guest communication, automation, and revenue opportunities.
Staymyway offers only basic digital key access and guest notifications, with no additional features listed. The limited feature set makes Duve the clearer choice for hotels wanting a versatile guest experience platform.
Edge: Duve.
Duve’s support ratings stand at 4.65/5, with many reviews highlighting responsive, helpful service, especially during onboarding and troubleshooting. Users appreciate their support team’s quick responses and willingness to improve.
Staymyway offers no publicly available support ratings or recent reviews, which raises concerns about ongoing assistance. Given Duve’s proven support record, it’s the more reliable choice. Edge: Duve.
Duve connects with 65 verified partners, including major PMS systems like WebRezPro, Oracle Hospitality, and Cloudbeds, along with integrations for door locks, channel managers, and AI solutions. Its open API supports extensive customization.
Staymyway has only 7 verified partners, including some hotel management systems, but fewer options overall. For hotels reliant on integrations to streamline operations, Duve’s broader ecosystem offers significant advantages. Edge: Duve.
Duve’s reviews are overwhelmingly positive, with a 4.75/5 rating from nearly 500 reviews, primarily from hotels across Europe, North America, and other regions. Larger properties like luxury hotels and vacation rentals rate Duve highly, especially for its automation and revenue features.
Staymyway, with no recent reviews or ratings, has no measurable hoteliers’ feedback to compare. Given the volume and recency of Duve’s reviews, it clearly holds a leadership position. Edge: Duve.
Duve’s pricing starts at $900/month, with no freemium options or hidden fees. It’s a fixed monthly fee, reflecting its enterprise-level capabilities.
Staymyway’s pricing is not publicly available, which suggests it may be tailored or less transparent. Based on the market and feature scope, Duve’s clear pricing model offers better predictability for budgeting.
Duve offers a comprehensive guest experience platform with extensive features, integrations, and a proven track record supported by almost 500 recent reviews. It’s suited for hotels aiming to automate, upsell, and elevate guest satisfaction across multiple touchpoints.
Staymyway’s core strength lies in providing mobile room access with minimal guest interaction, ideal for properties focused solely on streamlined access. However, its lack of recent reviews and limited features make it less attractive for hotels seeking a full-service platform.
If your goal is to optimize guest engagement and revenue, Duve is the clear choice. Conversely, if simple digital key access is your priority, Staymyway could suffice, but with less proven impact and fewer features.

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. Duve has an HT Score of 100 and Staymyway 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. |
