Choosing the right hotel management software can dramatically influence your property's efficiency, guest satisfaction, and profitability. Both eviivo Suite™ HMS and ThinkReservations All-in-1 HMS aim to streamline operations, but they cater to different hotel profiles and operational priorities. While eviivo boasts a larger global footprint and a broader feature set, ThinkReservations emphasizes ease of use and revenue optimization through its comprehensive platform. Which solution aligns best with your property's needs?
eviivo Suite™ and ThinkReservations are both designed to simplify property management, yet they serve different segments and operational styles. eviivo is known for its extensive integrations, especially with independent hotels and vacation rentals, and its focus on automation and multi-channel synchronization. ThinkReservations, meanwhile, emphasizes straightforward usability, strong guest communication, and revenue-driving features, making it popular among small and medium-sized properties. Do you prioritize a broad feature set or ease of operation?
If your hotel is a small property or inn seeking a user-friendly system with proven revenue uplift capabilities, go with ThinkReservations. Its intuitive interface, strong OTA integration, and upselling tools have earned it a high user rating of 4.88/5 from 312 recent reviews. If your hotel manages multiple properties, vacation rentals, or requires advanced automation, eviivo's larger feature library and global presence make it the better fit, despite its lower overall rating of 1/5 and fewer recent reviews. Which profile best describes your hotel?
ThinkReservations scores slightly higher for ease of use at 4.8/5 based on user reviews, with many praising its straightforward setup and helpful onboarding. Users frequently highlight how easily staff adapt to its interface, with some calling it "like adding another employee." eviivo, rated at 4.48/5, is also praised for its intuitive reservation and billing processes but has some complaints about interface design complexity. Edge: ThinkReservations.
eviivo boasts 41 shared features plus 13 unique, including native email marketing, guest CRM, and integrated CRS, making it highly versatile for independent hotels and vacation rentals. ThinkReservations offers 41 shared features and 2 exclusive ones, notably point of sale and GDPR compliance, emphasizing simplicity and legal readiness. If your property needs advanced marketing and operational tools, eviivo’s feature set is more comprehensive. For straightforward booking and guest management, ThinkReservations’ core features suffice. Edge: eviivo.
eviivo’s support scores 4.57/5, with users highlighting helpfulness and professionalism, especially during onboarding. However, some reviews mention occasional communication issues, particularly in chat support. ThinkReservations outperforms slightly with a 4.79/5 rating, with users describing their support team as "very accessible" and "knowledgeable," providing quick resolutions. When it comes to reliable, responsive support, ThinkReservations has the edge.
ThinkReservations enjoys a higher overall rating at 4.88/5, based on 312 recent reviews, with many users from small properties and inns praising its ease of use and revenue tools. eviivo's score of 1/5 is notably low, but its 191 reviews include many from larger or more complex properties, with mixed satisfaction levels. For recent, positive feedback from small lodging operations, ThinkReservations leads. Edge: ThinkReservations.
eviivo’s pricing starts at $700/month, with no free tier or trial, reflecting its enterprise-level focus. ThinkReservations charges $1,100/month, also without a free trial, but its pricing includes more built-in automation tools aimed at ROI. Both are premium, subscription-based systems, but your choice depends on your budget and whether the added features justify the higher cost.
The core difference lies in their target users: eviivo’s extensive feature set and global presence make it suited for larger, independent, or vacation rental properties, despite its lower recent review scores. ThinkReservations excels in simplicity, user satisfaction, and revenue-focused tools, making it ideal for small hotels and inns that prioritize ease of use and quick ROI.
Choose eviivo if your property requires broad integrations, automation, and multi-channel management—especially if you operate multiple locations or vacation rentals. Opt for ThinkReservations if your focus is on straightforward operations, guest engagement, and revenue growth with minimal complexity.
In conclusion, if recent reviews and ease of use matter most, ThinkReservations is the stronger choice. However, for extensive features and a proven track record in diverse markets, eviivo remains a robust, albeit more complex, solution.

| 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. |

|
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?

| 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. |
