Beds24 vs Naver Sync

Beds24 is cloud software for accommodation providers, combining booking, property, and channel management. Its channel manager exchanges inventory and prices with connected channels through two-way XML and imports bookings; iCal synchronization is also available. A customizable, mobile-friendly booking page supports commission-free direct bookings. Property tools cover housekeeping, guest management, room assignment, and front-desk work, alongside automated messaging, dynamic pricing, cleaning management, and payment processing. Beds24 offers web access and iOS and Android apps for managing bookings, arrivals and departures, availability, and Airbnb and Booking.com messages. API V2 provides third parties access to accounts, properties, bookings, and inventory, with read-only and read/write token options. Its integration marketplace lists partners across accounting, business intelligence, compliance, distribution, guest experience, and property operations. Beds24 says it uses 256-bit SSL encryption and regular backups, and describes itself as a GDPR-compliant SaaS data processor. A listed hostel plan for one dorm and one bed costs €15.90 a month, billed monthly with no minimum term; channel manager and integrations cost extra. A free trial is available.

Naver Sync is a web service for lodging operators managing Naver Reservations alongside online travel agency calendars. It imports other-channel iCal reservations into Naver Reservations and sends Naver reservation changes back through NaverSync iCal. Calendar connection guidance covers Airbnb, Booking.com, Agoda, Expedia, Trip.com, and Stayfolio. Hostex OAuth and Beds24 API connections can synchronize reservation changes, with optional room-level inventory and rate synchronization. Naver-side changes are processed near real time after detection, while other channels follow their own collection schedules. For supported channels, a refresh request may confirm changes within minutes under suitable conditions. Billing is based on connected rooms, and multiple channels linked to one room count once. The Starter plan costs ₩19,900 per month plus ₩5,000 per connected room per month, with no per-reservation fee. There is no free plan, but a 14-day trial can start without payment information. Naver Sync focuses on iCal reservation and availability synchronization rather than PMS functions such as settlement, messaging, or full rate management.
