Choosing the right contactless check-in system for your hotel hinges on understanding each product’s strengths and limitations. Akia Contactless Check-In by Akia offers a well-rounded, highly-rated platform with extensive user reviews, whereas Ulyses Tesipro’s Guest Experience System has no recent reviews or measurable ratings, making it difficult to gauge real-world effectiveness. Both aim to streamline guest arrivals, but Akia’s proven track record and active user base make it the more reliable option for hoteliers.
Are you prioritizing a product backed by recent data and extensive user feedback, or are you considering newer options without established reviews? This choice will influence your operational efficiency and guest satisfaction.
Akia Contactless Check-In is the clearer choice due to its high ratings, recent positive reviews, and a sizable user base. With a 4.95/5 overall rating based on 38 reviews—most within the last six months—Akia demonstrates ongoing customer satisfaction. Ulyses Tesipro, with no recent reviews and a score of zero, offers no proven track record to evaluate its suitability for your hotel.
Given the data, Akia’s active presence and high guest recommendation rate favor it as the more trustworthy solution.
Akia excels in contactless check-in solutions, boasting a suite of features like self-service check-in, digital registration, and SMS messaging. The platform is built to improve operational speed and reduce physical contact, a benefit that recent reviews consistently highlight.
Ulyses Tesipro offers no current reviews, ratings, or feature details, leaving hoteliers without evidence of its performance or usability. Without recent customer feedback, it’s impossible to confirm whether it truly simplifies guest arrivals or enhances communication.
Edge: Akia Contactless Check-In
If your hotel needs a proven, user-rated system with extensive integrations, Akia should be your pick. Its 38 reviews, including recent ones, confirm it’s easy to implement, user-friendly, and capable of reducing staff workload through automation.
If, however, your hotel is interested in emerging solutions and can accept the risk of unverified performance, you might explore Ulyses Tesipro. But with no current reviews or user ratings, it’s unaffordable to rely on it as your primary contactless check-in tool.
Edge: Akia Contactless Check-In
Akia’s ease of use is strongly supported by a 4.82/5 rating and positive reviews emphasizing its intuitive interface, quick onboarding, and minimal staff training. Reviewers praise its mobile friendliness, clear communication, and straightforward setup, making staff adoption smooth.
Ulyses Tesipro provides no recent reviews or user feedback to evaluate its usability. Without such data, it’s impossible to determine whether it offers a user-friendly experience or if staff would adapt easily.
Edge: Akia Contactless Check-In
Akia offers a broad set of features—35 unique functionalities including photo sharing, chatbot booking, WhatsApp integration, digital document signing, and PMS integration. The platform also supports ID verification, payment processing, and door lock integration, making it highly versatile.
Ulyses Tesipro lacks publicly available feature data or reviews, so its capabilities remain unverified. Without confirmed features, it’s impossible to compare on this front.
Edge: Akia Contactless Check-In
Akia’s support scores are notably high, with a 4.86/5 rating. Review excerpts commend their knowledgeable staff, quick responses, and helpful onboarding, indicating strong ongoing support.
Ulyses Tesipro offers no recent review data about customer support, support quality, or onboarding experience. The absence of feedback makes it impossible to assess their service level.
Edge: Akia Contactless Check-In
Akia integrates with 32 verified partners, including leading PMS systems like WebRezPro, Stayntouch, and innRoad, plus keyless access providers like FLEXIPASS. This extensive connectivity allows for streamlined operations across platforms.
Ulyses Tesipro has no verified integrations listed or confirmed partnerships. Without this data, integration capability remains uncertain.
Edge: Akia Contactless Check-In
Akia’s selection is supported by a 4.95/5 overall score based on 38 reviews, with recent ratings confirming ongoing satisfaction. Hoteliers praise its ease of use, automation, and positive impact on guest reviews.
Ulyses Tesipro’s lack of reviews or ratings means we cannot determine how hoteliers perceive it. Its user satisfaction remains unverified.
Edge: Akia Contactless Check-In
Pricing details for Akia are not publicly available, but it does not offer a freemium or trial version, implying a paid, possibly customized package. Ulyses Tesipro’s pricing is similarly undisclosed, with no trial or free options noted.
Without transparent pricing, hoteliers must contact vendors directly for quotes.
Not ideal if your hotel relies heavily on physical check-in processes or has limited internet access.
What about Ulyses Tesipro?
Not ideal if you need immediate, reliable support or proven functionality.
Not ideal if you want a verified, well-rated, and widely supported contactless check-in solution.
Akia Contactless Check-In is a mature, reviewed platform with proven benefits—improving check-in speed, guest communication, and operational efficiency. Its extensive feature set and high customer satisfaction make it a dependable choice for hotels looking for a contactless system.
Ulyses Tesipro offers no recent reviews or strengths to support its use. Without verified user feedback or feature data, it’s risky to adopt as your primary contactless solution.
Choose Akia if you want a tested, well-supported platform with clear benefits. Consider Ulyses Tesipro only if you are willing to accept the uncertainty and want to experiment with less proven technology.
In summary, Akia’s active user base, recent positive reviews, and comprehensive features make it the recommended option for hoteliers seeking a reliable contactless check-in system. Ulyses Tesipro’s lack of verified data leaves its effectiveness unproven, making it unsuitable as a primary solution at this time.
Contactless Check-in 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. |
