Per-room pricing that does not suit a 12-room motel.
Flat subscription banded by rooms, from $5/month on Basic.
Australia · Updated 2026-09-19
Hotel software in Australia — from $5 a month, flat.
Australian motels, pubs with rooms, holiday parks, B&Bs and boutique hotels run on one flat subscription: front desk, housekeeping, restaurant and bar POS, a commission-free direct booking website, and payments. No per-room pricing, no setup fee, and no commission on direct bookings. Subscriptions are billed in US dollars ($5/month on Basic, $50 a year).

Price
Cheapest hotel software in Australia
The cheapest genuinely complete option is our Basic plan at $5/mo — $50/yr, about $4.17 per month. Nothing else is priced flat like this: per-room platforms charge a fee for every room you own, per-property platforms charge for every branch, and percentage-of-booking pricing rises exactly when trade is good.
| Plan | Monthly | Yearly | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Basic | $5/mo | $50/yr (≈$4.17/mo) | Up to 20 rooms, 1 property |
| Standard | $10/mo | $99/yr (≈$8.25/mo) | Up to 60 rooms, 2 properties |
| Enterprise | $30/mo | $299/yr (≈$24.92/mo) | Unlimited rooms, up to 3 properties, free website |

Local fit
Built for how Australia hotels actually run
- check_circle Stripe and PayPal collection into your own merchant account, so guests pay in Australian dollars.
- check_circle Regional-property reality: offline desktop mode keeps the front desk running where mobile coverage is thin.
- check_circle Pub-with-rooms and motel workflows: bottle-shop and bistro sales post straight to the room folio.
- check_circle Holiday-park and apartment mix: cabins, powered sites and units all bill through one folio and one reconcile.
- check_circle No implementation consultants — owner-operators are live the same day.
Why owners switch
The daily leaks, and what stops them
OTA commission on every weekend of the season.
A commission-free direct booking page on your own domain.
Bistro and bottle-shop sales not reaching the room.
POS charges post to the folio, so checkout covers food, drinks and stock.
Cleaning and maintenance tracked on a whiteboard.
Live room status, housekeeping tasks and maintenance tickets in one place.
Payments
Payments your guests in Australia actually use
Money settles into your own merchant or bank account. LodgeStatus never holds your funds and never takes a percentage of a booking.

Offline reliability
Regional and coastal Australian properties lose coverage regularly. The desktop app keeps check-ins, folios and POS sales working offline and syncs when the connection returns.
Benchmarks
How much hotel software costs in Australia
What the rest of the market charges Australia hotels, and the pricing model behind each figure. Publicly listed price cards, reviewed September 2026.
Enterprise-scope regional PMS
From ~A$150/month, publicly listed from A$1,000/month at the top end
Public price cards for this segment conflict wildly — expect per-property or per-room tiers plus onboarding.
Per-room PMS pricing
$7.99–$17.99 per room / month (public price cards, Sep 2026)
A 20-room property on $7.99/room pays about $160/month — roughly 32× the flat $5/month Basic plan.
Entry-tier PMS with a booking fee
$29–$179/month plus ~1% of bookings
The percentage fee compounds in your strongest months.
Spreadsheets and a paper book

Free until the first double booking or unposted bistro bill costs more than a year of software.

LodgeStatus Basic at $5 per month ($50 a year, about $4.17 per month) flat, with no per-room pricing, no setup fee and a 30-day free trial.

Yes. The desktop app runs check-ins, folio charges and POS sales offline and syncs when the connection returns.
Is it suitable for a motel or pub with rooms?
