ROH by ROH and Sertifi by Flywire both serve the hospitality industry with payment processing and contract management solutions but target slightly different operational needs. ROH excels as a comprehensive payments platform integrating invoice automation, payment reminders, and contract e-signatures in one system, ideal for hotels prioritizing streamlined financial workflows and cash flow visibility. Sertifi by Flywire focuses on secure, fast payment capture and eSignatures with strong PCI compliance and multiple payment processor integrations, better suited for hotels emphasizing secure transaction processing and broad payment method acceptance.
Both platforms solve the fundamental problem of simplifying and securing payment collection and contract management in hospitality, reducing manual follow-up and administrative burden. ROH’s strength lies in automating invoice generation and scheduling reminders, improving deposit recovery and financial organization. Sertifi’s strength lies in its fast, secure payment capture with multi-processor support, enhancing security and ease of payment from guests across regions.
If your property is a boutique or luxury hotel in North America or Europe that needs an all-in-one solution integrating contracts, invoicing, and payments with automation to accelerate deposit capture, ROH’s 4.9/5 overall rating across 88 reviews, including 21 recent ones, supports it as the better fit. Its case study with Le Méridien St. Louis Clayton shows 90% recovery of outstanding invoices in 60 days, a strong operational result for hotels focused on cash flow.
If you run a branded or city center hotel with complex payment processor needs across multiple countries—Sertifi by Flywire’s broader verified partner network (7 vs. 2 for ROH) and multi-currency settlements make it preferable. Sertifi’s 4.7/5 rating across 131 reviews demonstrates stable performance but note the absence of recent reviews, potentially reflecting limited feedback on current product updates.
Limited data exist for small properties and vacation rentals, but ROH’s presence in these segments (rated 5/5 by 3 vacation rental reviewers) suggests it may better serve smaller operators needing straightforward automation. Sertifi’s strength in security and payment processor coverage suits larger enterprises handling diverse payment types but with less recent user sentiment data.
ROH holds an ease of use rating of 4.9/5 with onboarding at 4.9/5 from 88 reviews, including 21 recent ones. Reviewers highlight ROH’s intuitive interface that requires minimal training for staff and clients, easing the collection and contract signing process. Comments emphasize the platform’s simplicity, saving time for front desk and sales teams by consolidating payment and contract workflows.
Sertifi by Flywire scores 4.8/5 ease of use and 4.6/5 onboarding across 131 reviews but lacks recent reviews in the last six months, which weakens the reliability of these scores for the current product. Reviewers praise its quick learning curve and straightforward interface but mention issues with login access for associates and some user role management hurdles, indicating a steeper learning curve in certain operational areas.
Edge: ROH.
ROH offers 9 unique features including Payment Splitting, Partial Capture, Recurring Payments, and acceptance of digital wallets like Apple Pay and Google Pay, which enable hotels to better accommodate guest payment preferences and improve cash flow by scheduling installment plans and adjusting authorizations. These features reduce manual payment tracking and increase flexibility at the front desk and revenue management teams.
Sertifi by Flywire offers 10 unique features centered on payment security and processor diversity, such as 3-D Secure Payments, Multi-Currency Settlements, and integrations with Elavon, TSYS, Vantiv, Heartland, GlobalPayments, First Data, and Chase. These features enhance transaction security and broaden payment acceptance in global markets, critical for hotels processing payments internationally or through multiple gateways.
Both share 10 features, including core eSignature capabilities and basic payment processing. ROH’s unique feature set leans toward operational flexibility and guest payment convenience, while Sertifi’s focuses on payment security layers and processor variety.
Edge: Even.
ROH scores 4.9/5 for customer support and 4.9/5 for onboarding, reflecting consistent praise for responsiveness and helpfulness. Reviewers cite quick responses and top-notch assistance, which supports smooth implementation and issue resolution, key for hotels sensitive to downtime in payment processing.
Sertifi by Flywire’s customer support rating is 4.6/5 with onboarding at 4.6/5. While users appreciate the quick resolution of issues and strong security guidance, some reviews note challenges with user role management and login access, indicating areas where support could improve to reduce operational friction.
Edge: ROH.
Sertifi by Flywire has 7 verified partners compared to ROH’s 2, including shared integration with Oracle Hospitality. Sertifi’s unique integrations with Infor, Amadeus, HotelKey, Stripe, and Thynk provide broader connectivity to major PMS and payment ecosystems, beneficial for hotels using multiple systems or operating in diverse markets.
ROH integrates with Stayntouch in addition to Oracle Hospitality, focusing on core hospitality platforms but with a narrower footprint. Hotels requiring extensive system connectivity, especially multi-PMS environments or wide payment gateway coverage, will find Sertifi’s integrations more comprehensive.
Edge: Sertifi by Flywire.
ROH and Sertifi by Flywire score closely overall with 4.9/5 and 4.7/5 respectively. ROH’s 4.7/5 rating over 21 recent reviews confirms sustained customer satisfaction, while Sertifi lacks recent reviews, leaving its current rating less certain.
Segment ratings favor ROH in luxury hotels (4.9/5 across 50 reviews vs. 4.6/5 across 61), boutique hotels (4.9/5 vs. 4.8/5), resorts (4.8/5 vs. 4.7/5), and city center hotels (5/5 vs. 4.8/5). Sertifi leads in branded hotels (4.7/5 from 88 reviews vs. ROH’s 4.8/5 from 47) but the difference is marginal.
ROH also scores perfectly in segments like limited service & budget hotels (5/5) and airport/conference hotels (5/5), albeit with fewer reviews. Sertifi’s ratings in smaller segments like vacation rentals and RV parks are lower or based on minimal data, limiting conclusions.
Edge: Even.
Both ROH and Sertifi by Flywire publish a base price of $100.00, do not offer freemium or monthly flat or per-room pricing, and have no implementation fees or trial periods. Pricing transparency is equal, but the lack of volume-based or tiered pricing details may require direct negotiation for large properties or portfolios.

ROH by ROH and Sertifi by Flywire both help hotels streamline payments and contract management but diverge in focus. ROH emphasizes invoice automation, payment scheduling, and guest payment flexibility, creating an all-in-one financial infrastructure. Sertifi prioritizes payment security, processor diversity, and global transaction support.
Choose ROH if your hotel seeks an integrated platform that automates invoicing, payment reminders, and supports flexible guest payment methods like Apple Pay and installment plans. Its strong ease of use and customer support make it ideal for boutique, luxury, and resort hotels aiming to improve cash flow and operational efficiency.
Choose Sertifi by Flywire if your hotel requires extensive payment gateway integrations, multi-currency support, and enterprise-grade payment security, particularly for branded hotels operating internationally. Its wider integrations and security features are best for properties prioritizing secure, compliant payment processing across multiple regions.
ROH’s higher recent review volume and ratings suggest greater current user satisfaction, while Sertifi’s longer market presence and broader integrations suit properties with complex payment needs. The decision hinges on whether your priority is operational payment automation and guest payment convenience (ROH) or global payment processor variety and security (Sertifi).

| 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 →
