The free Mews alternative for independent hotels
Mews is a modern, per-room PMS for tech-forward and larger properties, sold by quote. Tribii gives independent hotels the essentials free up to 20 rooms, including a website Mews does not build for you.
An honest, side by side comparison.
Mews is a modern cloud PMS with strong automation and one of the largest integration marketplaces, priced per room by custom quote. Tribii is built for independent hotels that want the essentials without a per-room subscription: a booking engine, a website builder, reservations, invoicing and AI, free up to 20 rooms.
Choose Tribii if…
- You want a free plan up to 20 rooms with no per-room monthly fee.
- You want a built-in website builder; Mews expects you to bring your own site.
- You want an all-in-one that is free to start and scales by room count, not a per-room subscription.
- You want EU e-invoicing and AI onboarding included.
Mews may fit better if…
- You run a larger or multi-property group and need enterprise automation.
- You want the biggest integration marketplace and an open API.
- You need a purpose-built hotel POS and advanced kiosk hardware.
Tribii replaces Mews with a free booking engine and the free hotel PMS, free for up to 20 rooms with 0% commission on direct bookings.

Where Tribii is different from Mews
Free, not per room
Tribii is free up to 20 rooms. Mews is quote-only, with per-room pricing reported by third parties.
Website included

F&B without a separate add-on

Tribii vs Mews, in depth
Modern PMS, different audience
Mews is a modern, automation-first PMS with an excellent integration marketplace, aimed at tech-forward and larger properties. Tribii is built for independent hotels that want the essentials working out of the box.
Per-room pricing vs free up to 20 rooms
Mews is quoted per room, per month. For a property under 20 rooms, Tribii’s free plan removes that recurring cost entirely while covering the booking engine, PMS essentials, invoicing and AI.
The website gap
Mews expects you to bring your own website and embed its booking widget. Tribii builds your hotel website for you, in the free plan, alongside the booking engine.
Switching from Mews is free. Tribii's AI onboarding imports your rooms, rates and reservations to get you live quickly.
