Choosing the right property management system (PMS) can make or break your hotel’s operational efficiency and guest experience. Both Soraso by Smart Finder and Stayntouch aim to streamline hotel management, but their differences are stark. Soraso’s lack of recent reviews and zero ratings suggest it’s either untested or obsolete. Conversely, Stayntouch boasts a robust review base, recent feedback, and a strong reputation, making it the more promising option for hoteliers serious about their tech stack.
Are you looking for a proven system with current user confidence, or are you exploring lesser-known options? Your decision should hinge on real-world performance and support—both of which favor Stayntouch.
Soraso by Smart Finder has yet to garner any reviews or ratings, which makes assessing its suitability nearly impossible. Without recent feedback or a proven track record, it’s hard to gauge its performance or reliability. Stayntouch, on the other hand, has over 300 reviews, a 4.56/5 rating, and a 94% likelihood to recommend. Recent reviews highlight its ease of use, excellent support, and features that improve daily operations.
Given the absence of meaningful data for Soraso, your hotel risks adopting a system with unknown or unverified performance. Should you invest in a product with little to no user feedback, or opt for one with proven results and active support? The choice seems clear.
If your hotel needs a system with a proven reputation, comprehensive features, and active user support, Stayntouch is the clear choice. Its extensive review base and recent positive feedback demonstrate reliability and user satisfaction. If you’re open to a lesser-known solution with no reviews or data, Soraso might seem appealing—but that’s a risky gamble.
Hotels in need of a scalable, mobile-friendly platform with extensive integrations and a strong track record should lean toward Stayntouch. Conversely, if your team is experimenting or you have specific, niche requirements, Soraso’s untested status could be a concern.
Stayntouch’s user interface scores a near-perfect 4.7/5, with reviews praising its intuitive design, quick onboarding, and easy staff adoption. Users mention that new team members learn the system fast, and support teams are responsive to questions, making daily operations smoother. Soraso has no current ratings or reviews, leaving its ease of use unverified and speculative.
In a market where staff turnover is high, and efficient onboarding is essential, the proven simplicity of Stayntouch offers a clear advantage. Edge: Stayntouch.
Stayntouch offers 49 features, covering everything from revenue management, online check-in, and group handling, to integrated contactless solutions, and mobile apps. Its feature set is extensive and tailored for multi-property management, with modules for housekeeping, billing, and real-time reporting, among others. Soraso provides no listed features or unique functionalities, making it impossible to compare on this basis.
For hotels that require a feature-rich environment with proven modules, Stayntouch’s offerings are far more comprehensive. Edge: Stayntouch.
Stayntouch’s support ratings are very high at 4.68/5, with reviews emphasizing efficient onboarding, ongoing assistance, and responsive technical support. Users often cite the support team’s professionalism and thorough training as key benefits. Soraso has no user feedback or ratings, so its support quality cannot be assessed.
In the hospitality industry, reliable support is essential to avoid operational disruptions. With proven support and recent positive reviews, Stayntouch clearly has the edge here. Edge: Stayntouch.
Stayntouch integrates with 188 verified partners, including major systems like RoomPriceGenie and STAAH, facilitating seamless operations across various tech stacks. Soraso, on the other hand, has only 2 verified partners, with one shared partner (IDeaS). The limited integrations for Soraso suggest it’s less adaptable to your existing infrastructure.
If your hotel relies on multiple third-party systems, Stayntouch’s extensive integrations make it a more flexible and future-proof choice. Edge: Stayntouch.
Since Soraso has no reviews, it can’t be rated or compared on user satisfaction. Stayntouch, however, enjoys a 4.56/5 rating based on 317 reviews and a 94% recommendation rate. Hotels across segments—luxury, boutique, and branded—commend its ease of use, support, and feature set.
For a hotel that values current, validated user feedback, Stayntouch’s rating confirms its strong market position. Edge: Stayntouch.
Soraso’s pricing details are unavailable, which makes assessing its affordability impossible. Stayntouch charges a flat $800 monthly fee, with no setup or implementation costs, providing clarity for your budget planning.
Given the opacity around Soraso’s pricing, choosing Stayntouch offers transparency and predictable expenses, critical for operational planning. Edge: Stayntouch.
Since Soraso offers no data on features or support, it’s better suited for early-stage testing rather than full-scale deployment.
Not ideal if your hotel operates on a very tight budget or requires custom, niche solutions not covered in standard modules.
Soraso remains an unverified and largely untested option, with no reviews or feature data to support its suitability. Its lack of recent activity makes it a risky choice for modern hotels seeking reliability and support. Stayntouch, with over 300 reviews, recent positive feedback, and an extensive feature set, is the clear leader.
If your hotel needs a trusted, full-featured property management system, Stayntouch is the safer, smarter choice. Soraso might appeal to early adopters willing to gamble on unknown software, but most hotels should opt for the proven track record of Stayntouch.

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. Smart Finder has an HT Score of 0 and Stayntouch has 91. 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 →
