Choose Tribii if…
- You want a free plan up to 20 rooms instead of a 30-day trial and a monthly bill.

Tribii vs Little Hotelier, in depth
Two all-in-ones for independent hotels
Little Hotelier and Tribii both target small and independent properties with an all-in-one approach. The difference is the commercial model: Little Hotelier is a paid subscription with distribution built in; Tribii is free up to 20 rooms with a commission-free booking engine.
The trial-versus-free question
Little Hotelier offers a 30-day trial, then bills monthly by room count. Tribii’s free plan has no clock and no monthly bill up to 20 rooms, so there is nothing to expire and nothing to pay until you grow past 20 rooms.
What 'channel sync' really means
Little Hotelier inherits SiteMinder's channel network, a genuine strength if OTA reach is your priority. Tribii pulls in OTA reservations on its Max plan, and full two-way channel sync is available on request, so weigh this row for your mix of direct and OTA business.
Moving from Little Hotelier is free. Tribii's AI onboarding imports your rooms, rates and reservations so nothing starts from scratch.
