ThinkReservations pricing and what a B&B or inn pays in year one

ThinkReservations pricing is quote-based: the company publishes no price list, and you get a number after a demo. Directories report about $100 to $250 a month for a small B&B, plus a one-time setup and onboarding fee of about $500 to $2,000. For a 6 to 8 room property, that puts the first year at roughly $1,700 to $2,800 all in.

How much does ThinkReservations cost?

For a typical US bed and breakfast or inn with 5 to 15 rooms, ThinkReservations costs about $1,200 to $3,000 a year in subscription, according to cost ranges published by Roommaster, SelectHub and ITQlick. Add a setup and onboarding fee in the first year, and card processing on every payment you take.

The ThinkReservations pricing page lists what is included and asks you to call or request pricing. There is no public rate card and no self-serve trial, so every owner starts from a quote. If you want to compare it with a PMS whose price is on the page, open our live demo now and put both numbers side by side.

What the ThinkReservations subscription includes

ThinkReservations sells one subscription rather than named public tiers. The price is set by property size, number of users and the modules you run. Its own site lists these products:

Product What it covers
Property management system Reservations calendar, guest records, front desk, reporting
Booking engine Direct reservations on your own website
Channel manager Two-way connection to OTAs such as Booking.com and Expedia
Payment processing Integrated card payments, billed per transaction
Guest communications Email and text messaging with guests
Websites and marketing Property websites and email marketing
Dynamic pricing Rate adjustments based on demand
Integrations Accounting, door locks and other connected tools

Roommaster's 2026 breakdown says the core subscription covers the PMS, booking engine, channel manager and integrated payments. Website and marketing services are the items most likely to change your quote, so ask for each module as its own line.

Reported ThinkReservations prices by property size

Because there is no list price, the only public numbers come from software directories and from vendors who compare themselves with ThinkReservations. Treat them as a starting range, not a quote.

Cost item Reported range Source
Monthly subscription, small B&B about $100 to $250 Roommaster
Entry price, single user about $50 a month SelectHub, Software Finder
Setup and onboarding, small property about $500 to $2,000 one time Roommaster, ITQlick
Data migration about $500 to $3,000 by data volume Roommaster
Card processing Standard per-transaction rates Roommaster
Contract Month to month, no long-term contract Roommaster

The $50 figure you will see on some directories is a per-user entry price. It is not what a fully configured inn with a booking engine and channel manager pays, so budget from the $100 to $250 range.

First-year cost example for three property sizes

Here is what the first year looks like with reported ThinkReservations costs next to Innkeeper's public prices. Payment processing is left out of both columns, because every PMS that takes cards charges it and the rate depends on your volume.

Property ThinkReservations, reported first year Innkeeper, public price
8-room B&B about $1,700 to $2,800 all in $288 a year on Inn, or $588 paid monthly, no setup fee
15-room inn about $2,800 to $4,400 all in $888 a year on Hotel, or $1,788 paid monthly, no setup fee
30-room independent hotel about $4,400 to $6,000 all in $888 a year on Hotel, or $1,788 paid monthly, no setup fee

The largest gap is at the small end. An 8-room B&B pays about $1,200 to $2,300 more in year one with the reported ThinkReservations figures, most of it in the setup fee and the higher monthly base. From year two the setup fee drops away and the gap narrows, which is why you should compare three-year totals, not just the first invoice.

Other costs to check before you sign

Setup, training and migration

Ask whether onboarding, training and moving your data from your current system are included in the quote or billed on top. Directories report these as separate one-time fees, and they are often the biggest number in the first year.

Payment processing

Card payments run through integrated processing and are billed per transaction. Ask for the exact rate and whether you can keep your own processor. When deposits and payouts land in your bank, you still have to match them to reservations, and a tool that matches receipts and categorizes every business expense keeps the rest of the property's spending out of that spreadsheet.

Websites and add-on modules

A new website, email marketing and dynamic pricing are the modules most likely to raise a quote. If you already have a website, ask for the price without it.

Growth

Because the price depends on rooms and users, check the quote at the room count and staff size you expect in two years, not just today.

How to get a comparable ThinkReservations quote

Book the demo, then ask for a written quote that answers each point below, so you can compare it line by line with other vendors.

  • Monthly price at your exact number of rooms and staff users
  • One-time setup, onboarding, training and data migration fees, each listed separately
  • Card processing rate and whether an outside processor is allowed
  • Which modules are in the price: booking engine, channel manager, website, messaging, dynamic pricing
  • Contract length and notice period
  • How you export reservations, guests and invoices if you leave

Our guide on how to choose a PMS for a small hotel has the full list of twelve vendor questions and what a good answer sounds like.

When a published-price PMS is the better deal

ThinkReservations is a strong choice if you want a vendor that sets you up by hand and answers the phone, and its reviews on support back that up. For a property with a complex mix of rooms, vacation rentals and retail, that help can be worth the setup fee.

For an owner-run B&B or inn that would rather see the price and start on its own, Innkeeper lists every plan on its 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, with no setup fee, no booking commission and no contract. The calendar, channel manager software, booking engine, invoices and housekeeping board are included from the first plan. Our ThinkReservations alternative page compares the two feature by feature and shows how to move your reservations in four steps. If other vendors are on your list, read our Cloudbeds pricing and Little Hotelier pricing breakdowns next.
