Tribii vs Little Hotelier, line by line.
How we price this: for each company we take the cheapest plan they publish that does what Tribii's Free plan does, a booking engine that can take an online card payment, a website, and reservations, rates and invoicing, for a 20-room property. Where a company publishes no price at all, we say so and the range shown is marked as an estimate: it is ours, not a quote from them. Prices are shown in the currency each company publishes and are never converted. Where you land may differ, so check their pricing page before deciding.

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 includes its own two-way channel manager on the Max plan, so availability, rates and OTA reservations sync there too; weigh this row against your own 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.
