Hotel software in Canada — from $5 a month, flat.

Canadian independents — motels, inns, lodges, boutique hotels and aparthotels — 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 per-property 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 Canada

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

Published Canada pricing. No setup fee, no per-room charge, no commission on direct bookings.

Local fit

Built for how Canada hotels actually run

  • check_circle Stripe, PayPal and Helcim for card collection into your own merchant account, with Interac e-Transfer guests settled at the front desk.
  • check_circle Seasonal-property economics: ski, lake and cottage seasons concentrate revenue, so flat cost in the shoulder months matters.
  • check_circle GST/HST-ready invoices you can hand to corporate and travel-agent accounts.
  • check_circle Small-team operations with no IT department: browser and desktop apps, no server to maintain.
  • check_circle Owner-operated inns get the same multi-property switching as larger groups.

Why owners switch

The daily leaks, and what stops them

Per-room pricing that ignores a short season.

Flat subscription banded by rooms — the same price in January and July.

OTA commission on bookings you could have taken direct.

A commission-free booking page on your own domain, bundled free on Enterprise.

Breakfast, bar and shop sales tracked on separate sheets.

Everything posts to the guest folio and appears on one bill at checkout.

Housekeeping and maintenance requests lost in texts.

Room status, cleaning tasks and maintenance tickets in one place.

Payments

Payments your guests in Canada 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

Rural, mountain and coastal properties see service interruptions. 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 Canada

What the rest of the market charges Canada hotels, and the pricing model behind each figure. Publicly listed price cards, reviewed September 2026.

Per-property cloud PMS

From $150/property/month

About 30× a Basic LodgeStatus plan before add-ons such as payments or a channel manager.

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 rises with your best months, so software cost peaks with trade.

Spreadsheets and a paper register

C$0

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

LodgeStatus

$5/mo flat · $50/yr

One subscription with every feature included — no per-room fee, no setup fee, no booking commission, and no charge for the direct booking website you launch on day one.
