BookingCenter vs Mews Accounting

BookingCenter provides property management and reservation software for independent hotels, motels, inns, B&Bs, resorts, and vacation rentals. Cloud-based MyPMS includes front desk booking management, an interactive availability chart, folio controls, customized messaging, and back-office reports. Its booking engine supports templates, HTML APIs, and WordPress solutions for online reservations. The channel manager synchronizes rates and availability in both directions and imports bookings automatically through OTA and GDS connections, including Booking.com, Expedia, TripAdvisor, Airbnb, VRBO, Google Hotels, Sabre, Amadeus, and Travelport. MyGuest provides a mobile-friendly guest concierge and staff tracking for requests and incidents; the AI concierge communicates through SMS, iMessage, and WhatsApp in 14 languages. MyCard is a PCI-compliant payment gateway supporting EMV and contactless payments. MyPMS has a full-featured 30-day free trial, while the desktop PMS has a separate 45-day trial. MyPMS Self-Setup costs $50 a month, with no setup fee and unlimited rooms. MyPMS Concierge Setup costs $1,200, paid once for setup and training, followed by $50 a month. Desktop software supports Windows and Macintosh OS X, but Mac OS X desktop support ended after version 10.13.

Mews Accounting is hotel accounting software that updates financial information from deposits through checkout and invoicing in real time. Its live ledger tracks deposits, in-stay balances, and receivables, with drill-down from totals to individual bills. Teams can download a date-locked trial balance as PDF or Excel, with taxes separated from revenue across rooms and outlets. Charge-routing rules assign nights, taxes, and extras to a guest, company, or group organizer, with reservation- or guest-level exceptions. Built-in Accounts Receivable supports invoice issuance through reconciliation; teams can also send reminder batches, produce company statements, pause reminders during disputes, and share reminder history. Shared settings and templates support consistent revenue categories and accounting mappings across properties. Ledger and trial-balance data can be exported as PDF, Excel, or CSV, or supplied through open APIs. Mews names QuickBooks, Xero, and Yardi among integrations and links to a marketplace with more than 1,000 integrations. It runs on web and through an API. Pricing is on request, varies by property, and payment processing fees are separate from the subscription.
