Clock PMS pricing and what a small hotel pays per year

Clock PMS Suite has no public rate card. The vendor page cites roughly 250 to 810 euros a month for the full feature set, directories list starting points of $100, $150 and $600 a month, and a competitor blog estimates about $150 a month at 20 rooms and $450 at 100 rooms, with a one-time onboarding fee on top. Those numbers do not agree, so the only figure you can budget from is a written quote. Innkeeper publishes every plan, so a 8 to 30 room property can put a real number next to it: the Hotel plan is $888 a year billed yearly with the booking engine, channels and deposits included.

How much does Clock PMS cost?

Clock Software sells its PMS Suite through an estimator and a quote. Here is what the public sources show:

Source What it shows What it likely means
Clock Software vendor page Most hotels pay about 250 to 810 euros a month for the full feature set The upper range is a full suite, in euros
Software Advice and GetApp Starting at $100 a month Entry level for a very small property, modules not clear
ITQlick Starting at about $150 per property a month Estimate, not a quote
Hotel Tech Report Starting at about $600 a month Likely a fuller package
Competitor blog About $150 a month at 20 rooms, $450 at 100 rooms, $1,500 or more at 500 rooms, onboarding of about 1,500 to 2,600 euros Revenue and room count based, written by a rival so treat it as an estimate

Treat every line as a planning guess. The only number that counts is a written quote for your room count and your modules.

What the price is meant to cover

Clock PMS Suite is a modular cloud system: front desk, channel manager, booking engine, housekeeping, POS and revenue tools, plus an API. A hotel with a restaurant, a spa and a revenue manager can use all of that. A 10 to 30 room owner-run inn usually needs a narrower set: tape chart, channel sync, housekeeping board, invoices and a booking button on the website.

If a module you need to sell rooms is a separate line in the quote, your real price is higher than the headline. If you will never use the POS or revenue tools, ask whether the price drops without them.

What to ask for in a written Clock PMS quote

  • Whether the price depends on room count, annual revenue or both, and what happens to the bill when either grows.
  • Which modules are in the base price: channel manager, booking engine, housekeeping, payments.
  • The one-time cost of onboarding, data migration and training, and whether it is invoiced in euros or dollars.
  • Included staff users and the price of each extra user.
  • Support hours and time zone, since the vendor is European and you may call at the start of your day.
  • Card processing, tokenization and any per-transaction fee.
  • The contract term, renewal terms and notice period to cancel.

The one question that settles the comparison is the 12 month total in US dollars: subscription, onboarding and every module you need to sell rooms. If the quote is in euros, the exchange rate and your card's foreign transaction fee belong in the total, and an expense management tool that reads receipts and card charges can show what a euro-billed software subscription really cost you over the year.

Clock PMS cost per year by room count, next to Innkeeper

Because there is no price list, the Clock column shows the ranges from public sources and marks which one each comes from. Replace them with your quote.

Rooms Clock PMS per year Innkeeper billed yearly Innkeeper paid monthly
8 About $1,200 to $1,800 at the lowest directory starting points $288 (Inn) $588 (Inn)
20 About $1,800 (competitor estimate of $150 a month), more with modules $888 (Hotel) $1,788 (Hotel)
30 From your quote $888 (Hotel) $1,788 (Hotel)
50 From your quote $2,988 (Boutique) $5,988 (Boutique)
100 About $5,400 (competitor estimate of $450 a month) Over 80 rooms, ask about Group Over 80 rooms, ask about Group

The vendor's own range works out to about 3,000 to 9,700 euros a year at 250 to 810 euros a month. Add onboarding, training and any module billed on its own line. Innkeeper has no setup fee, no booking commission and includes the booking engine and channel manager.

When Clock PMS is still the right system

If you run a larger hotel, a property with a restaurant, spa and revenue manager, or a group that needs an open API and POS in one vendor, Clock is built for that and the price may be fair for what you get. We do not offer an open API, and a property that needs one should not switch to Innkeeper.

For an owner-run inn, B&B, motel or small hotel the picture changes. You need to avoid double bookings, take direct reservations without commission, keep housekeeping moving and send accurate invoices. A dollar price you can read before you talk to anyone is part of that.

Where Innkeeper fits on price

Innkeeper is a cloud PMS for owner-run inns, motels, B&Bs and small hotels up to 80 rooms. Every plan is on the hotel PMS pricing page: Inn at $49 a month for up to 10 rooms, Hotel at $149 for up to 30 rooms and Boutique at $499 for up to 80 rooms, or about half that billed yearly. There is no setup fee and no booking commission.

Clock PMS pricing questions

How much does Clock PMS cost per month?

Clock does not publish a rate card. Its own page cites roughly 250 to 810 euros a month for the full feature set, and directories show starting points between $100 and $600. Ask for a written quote and compare the 12 month total in dollars, including onboarding and every module.

Does Clock PMS charge an onboarding fee?

One competitor blog reports a one-time onboarding fee of about 1,500 to 2,600 euros for a 20 room property. We could not confirm it with the vendor, so ask for onboarding, migration and training as separate lines in the quote.

Is Clock PMS priced per room?

Not in any way you can read in advance. Sources describe a monthly fee tied to room count and, in one case, annual revenue. Ask how the price changes when you add rooms or revenue grows.

Is Clock PMS cheaper than Innkeeper?

We cannot say without your quote. Innkeeper's Hotel plan is $888 a year billed yearly for up to 30 rooms with the booking engine and channels included, so compare that with your Clock total for the same 12 months.

What is a cheaper alternative to Clock PMS for a small hotel?

For an inn, B&B, motel or small hotel up to 80 rooms, a cloud PMS with a published price and the booking engine and channels inside the plan. Innkeeper starts at $288 a year for up to 10 rooms, and Hotel at $888 a year covers up to 30.
