Choosing between MyStay Check-in by MyStay and Nets for contactless check-in hinges on your hotel’s priorities. MyStay offers a comprehensive platform with a proven track record, while Nets appears to be a less established option with limited data. Both aim to streamline guest arrivals, but their features, support, and market presence differ significantly.
Your team needs a reliable, well-reviewed solution with ongoing support and integrations. Which product aligns better with your operational goals and guest experience expectations?
MyStay Check-in specializes in contactless guest management, boasting an impressive review count of 40 and a high rating of 5/5, complemented by recent reviews confirming its ongoing relevance. Its features include online check-in, digital payments, guest communication, and PMS integration, making it a full-service contactless solution.
Nets, on the other hand, has no reviews, ratings, or documented features. Its market presence is absent from the regions where hotel tech is thriving, and it lacks verified integrations or customer feedback. This leaves a significant gap in confidence and proven reliability.
So, while MyStay’s reviews and recent feedback underscore its reliability and continuous improvement, Nets’ lack of data makes it difficult to assess. Are you prepared to choose a proven solution or risk an untested platform?
If your hotel needs a contactless check-in system with extensive features, proven customer satisfaction, and proven integrations, go with MyStay. It’s ideal for properties seeking digital guest management, automation, and operational efficiency, especially given its 40 reviews and 5-star rating.
If your hotel requires a payment system with no established reputation, integrations, or customer feedback, Nets isn’t recommended at this point. It’s better suited for hotels willing to experiment with unverified solutions or with minimal expectations for support and reliability.
For hoteliers prioritizing reliability, full-feature coverage, and support, MyStay is the clear choice. Nets does not provide sufficient evidence of its value or performance.
MyStay’s user rating for ease of use is 4.91/5, reflecting an intuitive interface, straightforward onboarding, and high staff adoption. Many reviews highlight how rapidly properties can set up and start benefiting from automated check-ins, digital communication, and online payments.
In contrast, Nets has no available ratings or user feedback, making it impossible to evaluate its usability. Without data, the assumption is that Nets may not match MyStay’s ease of implementation and daily operation.
Edge: MyStay.
MyStay offers 14 unique features, including PMS integration, guest segmentation, multi-channel communication (email, SMS, WhatsApp), digital payments, door lock integration, self-service check-in, and check-out, as well as offer management and A/B testing tools. These features support a comprehensive, customizable guest experience.
Nets provides no documented features, and there are no shared features with MyStay. Its limited transparency puts into question its capability to serve as a full contactless check-in solution.
Edge: MyStay.
MyStay’s customer support boasts a rating of 4.93/5 and recent reviews describe it as highly responsive and helpful, with users appreciating prompt technical assistance. Hoteliers comment that support helps resolve issues quickly and contributes to platform confidence.
Nets, lacking reviews, support ratings, or customer feedback, offers no evidence of service quality. Without established support infrastructure or user testimonials, confidence in Nets’ support remains unverified.
Edge: MyStay.
MyStay integrates with over 30 verified partners, including PMS providers like Priority Software, Kwentra, and RoomRaccoon, as well as channel managers and property management tools. This extensive network facilitates smooth operations and data flow.
Nets shows no verified integrations or partner connections, limiting its interoperability and ease of integration with your existing systems.
Edge: MyStay.
MyStay’s reviews are recent, with all 40 reviews rating it 5/5. It is especially favored by serviced apartments (19%) and city center hotels (16%), with an overall 98% likelihood to recommend based on recent feedback.
Nets has no reviews or rating data, so no hoteliers have expressed satisfaction or dissatisfaction. Its lack of feedback means you cannot rely on peer experience.
Edge: MyStay.
MyStay charges a base fee of $400 per month, with no freemium model, implementation fee, or monthly per-room charges. Its transparent pricing allows for predictable budgeting without unexpected costs.
Nets’ pricing is not publicly available or detailed, making it difficult to compare costs directly. The absence of transparent pricing suggests potential additional or undisclosed fees.
Edge: MyStay.
Not ideal if your hotel is very small, has minimal digital needs, or operates in regions where MyStay has limited presence.
Not ideal if your hotel needs proven reliability, full features, or international support.
MyStay checks all the key boxes with a proven record, extensive features, and satisfied users. It addresses the core needs of hotels looking to implement a contactless check-in process that enhances guest experience and operational efficiency.
Nets, lacking reviews, features, and integrations, remains an unverified option. Unless your hotel is willing to accept the risk of an untested platform, MyStay provides the safer and more comprehensive choice.
If your hotel values reliability, proven support, and full feature set, choose MyStay. Nets might appeal to experimental properties or those with very basic needs, but it’s not recommended without further validation.

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. MyStay has an HT Score of 22 and Nets 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. |
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 →
