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.

Comparison compiled by Tribii from public product information. Competitor plans and prices change: check their current pricing before deciding.

Where Tribii is different

Where Tribii is different from SiteMinder

A full property, not just distribution

Tribii runs reservations, front desk, guests and invoicing. SiteMinder is a channel manager, not a PMS.

Booking engine included free

Tribii's booking engine is free. On SiteMinder it lives on the paid Plus tier.

Free up to 20 rooms

Tribii is free up to 20 rooms. SiteMinder is a paid subscription after a 14-day trial.

Tribii vs SiteMinder, in depth

Channel manager vs property system

SiteMinder leads in distribution: it pushes your rates and availability to hundreds of OTAs. It is not a property management system, so front desk, housekeeping and invoicing happen in a separate tool. Tribii is that property system, with a booking engine included.

What 'free up to 20 rooms' replaces

On SiteMinder, the booking engine and website live on the paid Plus tier. Tribii includes both, plus the PMS essentials and invoicing, free up to 20 rooms.

Distribution without the subscription

You can keep SiteMinder and still run Tribii for the property, or move both onto Tribii: the Max plan includes a two-way channel manager, so rates, availability and OTA reservations sync inside the same system that runs your front desk. Either way, the property system itself is free up to 20 rooms.

You can run Tribii alongside your existing channel setup. Our AI onboarding imports your rooms, rates and reservations for free.

Questions about switching

SiteMinder has no free plan. After a 14-day trial it starts from about €95 per month by room count, and the booking engine is not in the base plan: it needs the Plus tier at about €119 per month. Tribii's booking engine is free for up to 20 rooms.
