PMS, POS, or booking platform - know what it'll actually cost before you commit.

Estimates development costs for hospitality software based on product type (PMS, POS, booking platform, channel manager, guest app), property scale, feature requirements, third-party integrations, and compliance needs. Pricing reflects 1Raft's hospitality sector delivery experience.
A basic property management system (PMS) for a single hotel starts at $80K–$150K. Multi-property systems with channel management, revenue optimization, and guest apps run $200K–$400K. The biggest cost drivers are OTA integrations and PCI compliance requirements.
Core features: reservation management, room inventory, check-in/check-out, billing, and housekeeping coordination. Competitive features: channel manager (Booking.com, Expedia sync), revenue management, guest mobile app, and CRM. API-first architecture is essential for future integrations.
Single-property operators should use established PMS platforms (Opera, Cloudbeds, Mews). Custom development makes sense for hotel chains with 10+ properties, unique operational workflows, or brands that need deep integration between PMS, POS, loyalty, and guest experience systems.
