Choosing between MyStay Check-in by MyStay and TMRW Hotel Checkin by TMRW LIFE hinges on your hotel’s specific operational needs and guest experience goals. Both solutions aim to make check-in contactless and reduce staff workload, but they diverge significantly in features, user base, and market presence. Since MyStay has substantially more reviews and recent feedback, it offers a more tested and trusted platform for hotels seeking a reliable contactless solution.
Your team should consider what matters most: whether you need a broad feature set and a proven track record or a more streamlined, integrated guest app. Which platform best aligns with your hotel’s size, segment, and digital ambitions?
MyStay Check-in excels at providing a comprehensive, flexible contactless check-in solution with over 40 reviews and a near-perfect overall rating of 5/5. Its broad regional presence and strong customer support make it suitable for diverse hotel types, especially those seeking advanced automation and integration capabilities.
TMRW Hotel Checkin, with only a single recent review and no overall rating, offers a simplified, easy-to-use guest-facing app that focuses on automation and streamlining operations for hotel chains and serviced apartments. However, its limited review count makes it a less established choice for hoteliers prioritizing proven reliability.
Are you looking for a platform with a proven track record and extensive feature options, or a straightforward app designed for fast deployment? This fundamental question will guide your decision.
If your hotel needs a highly customizable, feature-rich contactless check-in system with a large regional footprint, go with MyStay. Its extensive feature set — including guest segmentation, upselling, multi-channel communication, and online payments — is suited for hotels aiming to enhance operational efficiency and guest satisfaction.
For hotels that primarily operate in serviced apartments or extended stays, and want a simple, guest-facing app to automate check-ins and key management, TMRW LIFE could suffice. Its device-agnostic, easy-to-use interface offers a quick, minimal-touch solution, but lacks the depth of features and proven support found in MyStay.
This makes MyStay the better choice for hotels seeking reliability and advanced functionality, while TMRW may appeal to those prioritizing simplicity and quick implementation.
MyStay’s user ratings reflect a high ease of use at 4.91/5, and most reviews highlight its intuitive setup and straightforward guest interface. Its onboarding process is well-rated at 4.82/5, with hoteliers praising its quick deployment and minimal staff training requirements.
TMRW LIFE scores a perfect 5/5 in ease of use, with a simple, guest-facing app that’s easy to operate across devices. However, with just one review, we lack broader feedback on onboarding and staff adoption.
Edge: MyStay.
MyStay offers 9 unique features, including guest segmentation, room upgrade merchandising, offer templates, and digital payment capture — features that TMRW LIFE does not provide. These enable targeted marketing, revenue optimization, and flexible communication strategies.
TMRW LIFE includes 4 features like device agnosticism, pre-arrival upselling, easy room selection, and ID verification. While these suit streamlined check-in processes, they lack the depth and customization options of MyStay’s suite.
Edge: MyStay.
MyStay’s support and onboarding ratings are both high at 4.93/5 and 4.82/5 respectively, with reviews citing prompt and helpful assistance. Users appreciate the continuous updates and active communication from the team, which bolsters confidence in long-term reliability.
TMRW LIFE scores 5/5 in support, but with only one recent review, it’s difficult to gauge consistency or volume of customer service. Given the extensive user feedback for MyStay, it remains the more dependable choice.
Edge: MyStay.
MyStay connects with 30 verified partners, including major PMS and channel managers like Onity, Clock, and WuBook. Its broad integration ecosystem ensures smooth operation across various hotel tech stacks.
TMRW LIFE has only 5 verified partners, including Stripe and Vingcard, with fewer options for seamless integration. This limits flexibility for hotels with complex systems.
Edge: MyStay.
MyStay’s users, primarily in diverse hotel segments such as serviced apartments, boutique hotels, and city hotels, rate it at 5/5 based on 40 reviews. Recent feedback consistently praises its reliability, features, and support.
TMRW LIFE, with only one review from a serviced apartment operator, cannot provide a broader rating trend. Its limited data makes it hard to assess overall user satisfaction.
Edge: MyStay.
MyStay charges a flat monthly fee of $400 with no implementation or trial fees. Its transparent pricing makes it accessible for hotels of various sizes, especially those seeking an all-in-one solution.
Pricing for TMRW LIFE is not publicly available, which could complicate budgeting decisions. Its lack of transparent costs suggests a custom quote approach, often typical of high-end integrated solutions.
Not ideal if you prefer a minimal, simple guest app with limited features, or operate only in highly specialized segments with very specific needs.
Not ideal if you need extensive automation, detailed segmentation, or integrations with multiple PMS and revenue management tools.
MyStay Check-in offers a comprehensive, robust platform with proven success and a broad feature set, making it ideal for hotels seeking reliability and operational flexibility. Its extensive support, integrations, and high user ratings provide confidence in long-term use.
TMRW Hotel Checkin presents a sleek, simple guest app that emphasizes ease of use and quick onboarding. However, its limited reviews and features make it better suited for smaller, tech-forward properties or chains focusing on guest experience without complex automation.
For most hotels evaluating these two, MyStay is the safer, more proven choice. It’s the platform with more reviews, recent positive feedback, and a broader feature set that can scale with your needs.
According to HTR's product database, MyStay Check in and TMRW Hotel Checkin share 5 features. Here are the key differences — features one has that the other lacks.

| 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 →
