Mews alternative
StaySynq vs Mews.
Mews is one of the best-known cloud PMS platforms, used by more than 15,000 hotels, with its own POS, payments and revenue management. This page compares it with StaySynq, which is built around Indian hotel operations, and says plainly where Mews is the better fit.
Updated October 2026.
What StaySynq brings.
GST billing and filing exports
Room GST applied night by night at the right slab, SAC codes on every line, and an invoice register and HSN/SAC summary exported for GSTR-1. See GST billing.
Indian payments and channel managers
UPI, cards and card terminals through Razorpay, and two-way OTA sync through your channel manager, which reaches MakeMyTrip, Goibibo and the other Indian OTAs.
Banquets, bar and excise in one system
A banquet module with online quotations, BEOs and GST on advances, plus bar peg tracking and excise registers alongside the restaurant POS.
Migration included
Our team imports your data, runs a parallel shift and handles the cutover as part of onboarding. Most properties are live in 5–7 days. See how migration works.

Questions from Mews users.
- Is Mews available in India?
- Mews is sold in many countries, but its website doesn't mention India-specific GST invoicing, rupee pricing or an India office. Ask Mews directly about India support before deciding.
- Does StaySynq have a revenue management system like Mews?
- No. StaySynq supports derived rate plans, where rates follow a master rate, but it doesn't have an automated pricing engine. If automated revenue management is a priority, Mews is stronger there.
- Is StaySynq cheaper than Mews?
- Neither publishes prices. Mews prices per room and charges for onboarding separately; StaySynq quotes per property with unlimited users and includes migration. Book a demo and we'll give you a quote to compare.
- Can I move from Mews to StaySynq?
- Yes. Our team imports your room types, rate plans, reservations and guest profiles and runs a parallel shift before you switch. Start with the PMS migration checklist.
