Hotel software in the United States — from $5 a month, flat.

US independents — motels, inns, B&Bs, boutique hotels and extended-stay properties — run on one flat US-dollar 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. Basic is $5/month, or $50 a year.

Price

Cheapest hotel software in United States

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 United States pricing. No setup fee, no per-room charge, no commission on direct bookings.

Why owners switch

The daily leaks, and what stops them

Per-room pricing that grows every time you renovate.

Flat subscription banded by rooms — adding rooms inside your band does not change the bill.

A PMS quote that needs a sales call before you know the price.

Published, self-serve pricing from $5/month with a 30-day free trial.

Restaurant, bar and shop sales not hitting the guest folio.

POS charges straight to the room with one bill at checkout.

Housekeeping status living on a clipboard.

Live room status with cleaning tasks and turnover tracking.

Payments

Payments your guests in United States 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

Storm season and rural coverage both knock out connectivity. 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 United States

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

Independent-friendly PMS

From $149/month

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

Entry-tier PMS with a booking fee

$29–$179/month plus ~1% of bookings

The percentage fee scales with your busiest months, so your bill rises when trade does.

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.

Cloud PMS per property

≈$200–$1,000+/month before modules

Mid-market cloud platforms bill per property before channel manager and payment modules are added.

Enterprise chain PMS

≈$700/month list, $12–$25 per room reported

Typically 3–6 months of implementation with setup fees and consultants.

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.
