Cloudbeds Channel Manager vs Octorate

Cloudbeds Channel Manager connects a property’s booking operations with online travel agencies and other booking channels. It lists 450 connected channels, OTA connections, real-time inventory synchronization, and support for multi-property operations. The Booking Engine is included in the One and Experience plans, alongside the Channel Manager; Experience also adds Guest Experience. Flex includes PMS, Payments, and Marketplace, with distribution brought by the customer and the channel manager partner separate. Enterprise offers custom packages for hospitality groups, brands, or management companies. The product is listed for Android, iOS, and web. Cloudbeds offers paid plans, but prices are available on request, and there is no free plan. The plan structure distinguishes whether Channel Manager and Booking Engine are included, so those choosing Flex should note that its distribution and channel manager arrangement differs from the other listed packages.

Octorate is a cloud hospitality platform for managing reservations and property operations across hotels, B&Bs, vacation rentals, hostels, campsites and other properties.
