A “free” booking engine: look at the commission

A booking engine lets your guests book directly on your website, without going through an OTA. Offers advertised as free often get paid another way, for example through a commission on every booking.

Heroes PMS makes the opposite choice: a fixed monthly price and 0% commission on direct bookings. The more your site sells, the better the option pays off.

What the Heroes PMS booking website includes

  • Your booking website, on a subdomain we provide or on your own domain name
  • Availability and prices read live from your calendar: no separate inventory to keep
  • Bookings land in the same calendar as all the others
  • 0% commission on direct bookings

What stays free

The PMS: calendar, bookings, guest profiles, payment tracking and the mobile app, for one property with 10 rooms at most, with no time limit.

You can manage your direct bookings taken by phone or email for free, then add the booking website the day you want to sell online.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is the Heroes PMS booking engine free?

No. The PMS is free for up to 10 rooms, but the direct booking website is a paid option at $12 per month per property.

Does Heroes PMS take a commission on direct bookings?

No. The booking website is billed monthly, and no commission is taken on the bookings it brings you.

Do I need to have a website already?

No. The booking website can run on a subdomain provided by Heroes PMS, or on your own domain name if you have one.

Does the booking website update itself?

Yes. It reads availability and prices from your calendar: a booking entered in the PMS closes the room on the site, and a booking made on the site lands in the calendar.

Can I start without the booking website?

Yes. The Free plan lets you use the PMS for free; you add the booking website the day you want to take bookings online.
