Choosing between MyStay by MyStay and Upgrade Pack by Upgrade Pack hinges on your hotel's priorities. Both solutions target enhancing guest experiences and increasing revenue but serve different core functions—MyStay excels in guest communication and operational automation, while Upgrade Pack focuses on loyalty-driven upgrades. Given your goal to improve guest engagement and revenue, which platform aligns best with your current needs?
MyStay offers a comprehensive, contactless guest management system with high user satisfaction, extensive reviews, and recent updates. Upgrade Pack, while promising in its niche, has no recent reviews or market presence data. Which software will truly deliver sustained value for your hotel?
MyStay and Upgrade Pack address distinct needs within the hotel industry. MyStay provides an all-in-one platform for communication, upselling, and contactless check-in/out, proven by 41 recent reviews with a 4.82/5 rating and a 96% likelihood to recommend. Upgrade Pack, however, has no recent reviews or verified customer feedback, making it difficult to gauge its current relevance or effectiveness.
While MyStay has a global presence across 17 countries and integrations with over 30 partners, Upgrade Pack's reach remains unverified. If your hotel relies on proven, reviewed solutions with active support, MyStay is clearly the stronger choice.
If your hotel needs a robust guest engagement system that combines automated communication, contactless check-in, and revenue-generating upselling, go with MyStay. Its high review count and recent positive feedback indicate a trusted platform with a track record of improving operational efficiency.
If, on the other hand, your hotel or organization seeks a simple upgrade platform for loyalty or premium experiences, and you are comfortable with unverified claims or limited recent feedback, Upgrade Pack may seem appealing. However, lacking recent reviews, its actual effectiveness remains unconfirmed.
For hotels prioritizing proven performance, active support, and a broad feature set, MyStay is the clear winner.
MyStay receives a 4.85/5 rating for ease of use, with reviewers praising its intuitive interface, straightforward onboarding, and minimal staff training requirements. Users highlight that the platform simplifies complex operations like automated messaging and digital check-in, making adoption quick and smooth across departments.
In contrast, Upgrade Pack’s usability is unverified due to no available recent reviews or user feedback, leaving its ease of use uncertain. Without tangible user experiences, it's impossible to confidently assess its onboarding process or staff adoption.
Edge: MyStay.
MyStay offers nine unique features, including guest segmentation, multi-channel communication, digital payment, and offer experimentation—none of which are present in Upgrade Pack. Its features support personalized marketing, automation, and contactless processes, directly impacting revenue and guest satisfaction.
Upgrade Pack provides a loyalty-based upgrade platform with real-time upgrade availability, but it lacks the broader guest engagement features found in MyStay. Without additional features or integrations, its value proposition is narrower.
Edge: MyStay.
MyStay’s support and onboarding are highly rated at 4.85/5, with reviewers emphasizing prompt assistance and ongoing support from a dedicated team. Comments like “the great flow of the whole team and their continuous support” highlight its commitment to customer success.
Upgrade Pack has no recent reviews or publicly available customer support ratings, making it impossible to evaluate its support quality. The absence of feedback diminishes confidence in its post-sale assistance.
Edge: MyStay.
MyStay’s ecosystem includes 30 verified partners, including popular PMS and channel managers like Priority Software, Kwentra, and RoomRaccoon, facilitating seamless operational workflows. In contrast, Upgrade Pack shows no verified integrations or partner connections, limiting its flexibility.
The extensive integration network of MyStay ensures your hotel can connect with existing systems, avoiding data silos and manual workarounds.
Edge: MyStay.
MyStay enjoys an average rating of 4.82/5 from 40 recent reviews, with hotels across various segments praising its efficiency, usability, and support. Boutique hotels, serviced apartments, and city-center properties particularly appreciate its features.
Upgrade Pack has no recent reviews or user ratings, so its satisfaction level remains unverified. Without recent feedback, it’s uncertain whether it meets hotelier expectations.
Edge: MyStay.
MyStay charges a base fee of $400, with no freemium version, monthly flat fee, or per-room charges. Pricing transparency and a clear fee structure make budgeting straightforward.
Upgrade Pack’s pricing details are unavailable, and no trial or demo information is provided, raising questions about its affordability and value.
Note: The lack of pricing transparency for Upgrade Pack makes comparison difficult; however, the proven value and support of MyStay justify its cost.
Not ideal if your hotel prefers a simple upgrade platform without broader communication needs.
Not ideal if you need a comprehensive guest engagement platform or active support.
MyStay stands out as a comprehensive, well-supported upselling and guest communication platform with proven recent reviews and high satisfaction ratings. Its extensive features and integrations make it suitable for hotels seeking operational efficiency and revenue growth.
Upgrade Pack appears to target a niche upgrade experience, offering real-time upgrade options and loyalty integration. However, its lack of recent reviews, verified user feedback, and integrations makes it a risky choice for hotels needing reliable, proven solutions.
If your priority is a trusted, feature-rich platform that improves operational flow and guest experience, go with MyStay. If your focus is solely on upgrade offerings and you are comfortable with unverified claims, Upgrade Pack might be worth exploring, but with caution.
Upselling Software pricing is rarely straightforward. Here is what we know from each vendor's public pricing data. Always request a custom quote for your property size.

| 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 →
