Cloudbeds alternative
StaySynq vs Cloudbeds.
A direct comparison of pricing, OTA sync speed, built-in modules, and migration timeline. Updated May 2026.
Where StaySynq wins.
Most hotels switching from Cloudbeds cite one of four reasons.
Predictable pricing as you grow
Cloudbeds charges per room on top of the base plan. A 60-room hotel pays ~3x more than a 20-room hotel on the same tier. StaySynq charges per property — one flat monthly fee regardless of room count. No surprises as you expand.
OTA sync 10x faster
StaySynq pushes rate and availability changes to all connected OTAs in under 60 seconds. Cloudbeds averages 5–15 minutes per sync cycle. In peak season with rapid rate changes, that gap costs you revenue.
Restaurant POS included — no integrations
Cloudbeds has no native F&B module. Every restaurant charge requires a third-party POS with a separate contract, separate login, and a sync that can lag by minutes. StaySynq includes table management, KOT, and real-time room charging in one system.
Live in days, not months
Cloudbeds onboarding averages 4–12 weeks with self-serve data migration. StaySynq's team handles full data transfer — rooms, rates, reservations, guest profiles — in 5–7 days. Founder-led onboarding is included on all plans.

Common questions from Cloudbeds customers.
- Can I migrate from Cloudbeds to StaySynq without downtime?
- Yes. We run both systems in parallel during a one-shift overlap period. Your Cloudbeds account stays active until you're confident. We migrate all reservations, rate plans, and guest profiles before you flip the switch. Most properties complete the switch without missing a single check-in.
- Does StaySynq support all the OTAs I'm currently using on Cloudbeds?
- StaySynq connects to 14+ OTAs natively: Booking.com, Agoda, Expedia, Airbnb, Hotels.com, Trip.com, MakeMyTrip, Google Hotel Ads, Hostelworld, Cleartrip, and more. If you're using a niche regional OTA on Cloudbeds, contact us before switching — we'll confirm coverage or add it to our roadmap.
- Is StaySynq more expensive than Cloudbeds?
- For properties under 50 rooms, StaySynq is typically less expensive because we don't add per-room surcharges. For larger properties, our flat per-property pricing becomes significantly cheaper than Cloudbeds' room-based model. Request a quote and we'll do a side-by-side cost comparison for your specific property.
- How does Cloudbeds' multi-property support compare?
- Cloudbeds requires a separate account login per property. There's no native group-level reporting across properties — you export from each account separately. StaySynq's multi-property management is built into every plan: one login, one dashboard, cross-property RevPAR and occupancy reports, and brand-level policy management.
