Choose a channel manager for your booking sites — Beds24 vs RedAwning vs RoomCloud
List your booking sites and the jobs each link must do. Rates, open dates, bookings and cancellations can follow different rules. Check those rules before adding a tool. Check whether the offer is a full suite, extra channel links or managed help.
Beds24: what to consider
Allow time to set up room types, prices and channel links. Booking changes follow each channel’s rules. Do not assume you can add it as a separate layer to any other property tool. Read the Beds24 profile for its plans and requirements.
RedAwning: what to consider
Check which owner or property-manager offer fits you. Compare the work done for you as well as channel coverage. Check what you pay, what is left out and how long the contract lasts. Read the RedAwning profile for its plans and requirements.
RoomCloud: what to consider
Ask if your US property and software qualify. Exact change rules were not confirmed for every channel. Sync claims do not prove zero double bookings. They do not prove that all links update at the same speed. Read the RoomCloud profile for its plans and requirements.
Explore all booking-site management tools, what booking-site connections can cover, booking-site services and channel managers to continue your shortlist.
Common questions
Where should I edit listings when using Beds24, RedAwning and RoomCloud?
Decide which system controls rates, open dates and listing text. Check the sync mode before editing both sides. One system may own prices while another owns photos. Write down where your team should make each change.
What should I check after connecting one of these tools?
Match each home to the right listing. Check future bookings and manual blocks, then look at dates and prices on each booking site. Go far enough to inspect the offer, but do not complete a test booking unless you intend to buy it.
Where do I edit Airbnb listing text with Beds24’s Everything sync?
Edit it in Beds24. Everything sync uses the text and photos from Beds24 in place of Airbnb’s descriptive content. Changes made only in Airbnb can be overwritten. Use View Content in Beds24 before choosing this mode to check what it will send.
Does RedAwning’s distribution service replace my property software?
Its page for property managers says your property software stays in control. RedAwning handles the channel links. Check that it works with your current system. Agree where to edit rates and dates. Linking booking sites does not mean it takes over every property task.
Can I use Stripe with RoomCloud?
RoomCloud lists Stripe as a payment link. Check that it works with your account and country before you choose it. Ask both providers about payment methods, fees and setup. A logo in the list does not mean every method is included.
