Choosing between ReGuest Hotel CRM by Reguest and TrustYou Customer Data Platform (CDP) hinges on your hotel's specific needs—whether you prioritize personalized guest engagement or comprehensive reputation management. Both solutions aim to improve guest relations and revenue, but they approach these goals differently. If your team seeks an advanced CRM with targeted communication tools, Reguest is designed for that. Conversely, if you want a platform focused on review insights and data consolidation, TrustYou stands out. So, which product aligns better with your hotel’s strategic focus?
Both ReGuest and TrustYou serve as tools to enhance guest engagement and improve operational insights, but their core functionalities differ. ReGuest emphasizes a sophisticated CRM system with AI-driven communication, personalized newsletters, and segmentation, making it ideal for direct marketing and guest retention strategies. TrustYou, meanwhile, consolidates guest feedback from multiple channels, providing sentiment analysis and trend visualization to manage reputation and improve service quality. Do you want to deepen guest relationships through targeted campaigns or analyze reviews for strategic improvements? That choice defines which platform suits you better.
If your hotel needs a highly user-friendly CRM that offers robust segmentation, personalized outreach, and AI-supported guest communication, go with ReGuest. Its 27 recent reviews with an average score of 83 suggest strong usability and features tailored for direct guest engagement. Conversely, if your team requires a platform that aggregates reviews, enhances reputation management, and provides detailed sentiment insights, TrustYou—used by more hotels with 44 reviews and a score over 91—is the more proven solution. For hotels focused on targeted marketing, ReGuest is ideal; for those prioritizing reputation insights, TrustYou is the better pick.
ReGuest scores slightly higher in ease of use ratings—4.81/5 versus TrustYou's 4.82/5—indicating both are highly intuitive. ReGuest's onboarding is praised for its clarity, with users highlighting how quickly new team members adopt its features, especially its newsletter and segmentation tools. TrustYou's interface is also straightforward, favored for its clarity in review analysis and trend visualization. However, users note that TrustYou’s detailed analytics may require some training for full utilization. Edge: TrustYou.
ReGuest offers 6 unique features, including email newsletters, template editing, WYSIWYG HTML editing, campaign templates, PCI compliance, and an open API—elements that facilitate personalized marketing. TrustYou, with only one exclusive feature—A/B testing—focuses on review analysis and sentiment insights. Both platforms share 18 features, like guest profile management and multi-channel feedback, but ReGuest’s suite caters more directly to marketing automation. Edge: ReGuest.
ReGuest’s customer support scores 4.93/5, with reviewers emphasizing its helpful, responsive team that makes onboarding and issue resolution smooth. TrustYou’s support, rated at 4.8/5, is praised for quick responses and effectiveness, but some users mention delays in certain feedback updates. Both are highly rated, but ReGuest's support seems slightly more consistent, especially during onboarding. Edge: ReGuest.
TrustYou offers integrations with 59 verified partners, including major hotel systems like RoomRaccoon, TrustYou itself, and Profitroom, covering a broad spectrum of hotel tech stacks. ReGuest, with 20 verified partners, provides key integrations such as Vioma, Guestnet, and some booking platforms. If your hotel relies heavily on a wide array of third-party systems, TrustYou's extensive integration list provides more flexibility. Edge: TrustYou.
TrustYou has a higher overall rating of 91.37 and more recent reviews—30 in the last six months—indicating strong current user confidence. ReGuest's score of 83.16 is based on fewer reviews (27) with less recent feedback. Hotels across various segments, especially branded and boutique properties, tend to rate TrustYou higher for reputation management. For up-to-date satisfaction, TrustYou holds the edge.
ReGuest does not publicly disclose a pricing structure, suggesting a customized quote based on hotel size or needs. TrustYou charges a starting price of $400 per month, with no freemium or flat-rate models. Given the transparent pricing, TrustYou might be easier to budget for, but the actual costs depend on your hotel's scope and system complexity.
ReGuest is a sophisticated CRM designed for hotels targeting personalized guest engagement and direct booking growth. Its suite of communication tools, segmentation, and automation features make it ideal for marketing-driven teams seeking to build loyalty.
TrustYou, however, excels in reputation management and review analysis, offering extensive integration options, sentiment insights, and multi-channel feedback aggregation. Its proven track record and higher recent review count make it a more reliable choice for hotels prioritizing guest perception and feedback.
If your hotel’s main goal is targeted marketing and guest personalization, ReGuest is the clear choice. If managing reviews, monitoring sentiment, and improving overall reputation are your priorities, TrustYou offers the more established, broadly integrated platform.
In conclusion, for hotels focused on building direct relationships and marketing automation, ReGuest is the better fit. For those seeking robust review insights and reputation oversight, TrustYou provides the stronger, more recent user support and 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. Reguest has an HT Score of 84 and TrustYou has 93. 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 →
