Why small properties look for a ResNexus alternative
ResNexus has a loyal following among innkeepers, a friendly US support team and a long list of features. The owners who shop around usually point to three things.
The price depends on a conversation
ResNexus does not show a price list. Your quote depends on your unit count and your season, and extras such as the hosted website, SMS messaging, payments and a site map are billed on their own lines. Several Capterra reviewers say their costs keep increasing over time. Innkeeper shows every plan on the pricing page, so an owner can check the full yearly bill before speaking to anyone.
Built for campgrounds and resorts as well as inns
ResNexus serves RV parks, campgrounds, resorts and hotels from one product, which is why its menus carry site maps, POS, contracts and night audit. Reviewers on Hotel Tech Report say the system can feel overwhelming for smaller properties. Innkeeper is built only for rooms: the tape chart, channel sync, invoices and the housekeeping board, and very little else to learn.
Reports, mobile use and Direct Connect issues
Recurring comments on Hotel Tech Report mention report accuracy and mobile use, and some Capterra reviews describe slow answers when the OTA Direct Connect runs into problems. Innkeeper runs in any browser, including a phone at the desk or in the housekeeping cart, and the live demo lets your team judge that before you pay anything.
Where ResNexus is the better pick
Be fair about it. If you run a campground, an RV park or a resort with cabins and sites, ResNexus has site maps, point of sale and contracts that Innkeeper does not offer. Its support team and Hospitality Coaches get strong marks, and its reported entry price can sit below our Inn plan paid monthly. If you want a hosted website and email marketing from the same vendor, ResNexus covers that too.
How to move from ResNexus to Innkeeper
-
01
Export your data
Export future reservations and your guest list from ResNexus reports as CSV or Excel files, or ask your support rep for the export. Keep ResNexus and its OTA connections running until the move is finished.
-
02
Import and check
Upload the files to Innkeeper. Future stays land on the tape chart with guest, dates, room and total, and guest profiles keep their history. On Boutique we run the import with you in an onboarding session.
-
03
Connect your channels
Connect Booking.com, Expedia, Airbnb and Google in Innkeeper and put the booking engine on your website. Compare availability for the next 90 nights against ResNexus side by side.
-
04
Switch over
Disconnect the OTAs from ResNexus, confirm they are live in Innkeeper, then cancel ResNexus. It has no long-term contract, so there is no term to wait out.
Who should pick Innkeeper, and who should stay on ResNexus
Innkeeper fits owner-run hotels, country inns, B&Bs, guesthouses and small motels with up to 80 rooms, where one or two people handle reservations and the owner wants a short list of screens and one plan price. Our pages on bed and breakfast software and inn management software show how that daily routine looks.
Stay with ResNexus if your property mixes rooms with RV sites or campsites, if you sell retail at a front desk POS, or if you rely on its hosted website and email marketing. Switching costs staff time, so it pays off when the daily fit and the price are both clearly better.
ResNexus alternative questions
What is the best alternative to ResNexus?
For a hotel, inn or B&B under 80 rooms, the best ResNexus alternative is a cloud PMS with the channel manager and a commission-free booking engine in a published monthly price. Innkeeper does this from $49 a month for up to 10 rooms. Cloudbeds, Little Hotelier, ThinkReservations, innRoad and WebRezPro are other systems innkeepers compare.
How much does ResNexus cost?
ResNexus does not publish prices. Its pricing page says pricing is custom, based on your units and seasonality. Capterra lists a starting price of $30 a month, and RoomMaster reports about $30, $50 and $89 a month across editions, with a 10-room B&B near $110 a month once a hosted website is added.
Does ResNexus have a channel manager?
Yes. ResNexus connects directly to Expedia, Booking.com and Airbnb, and also lists Vrbo, TripAdvisor and Google. Its marketing page says the Premier edition allows commission-free OTA bookings, so ask whether your edition adds any fee on OTA reservations. Innkeeper includes its channel manager on every plan with no booking commission.
Does ResNexus charge a setup fee?
ResNexus says it does not charge a setup fee for the PMS. The hosted website is different: RoomMaster reports about $299 to $499 to set it up plus about $80 a month, and an interactive site map for campgrounds runs $499 to $2,500 one time. Innkeeper has no setup fee on any plan.
Can I import my reservations from ResNexus?
Yes. Export future reservations and guest records from ResNexus as CSV or Excel, or request an export from its support team, and upload them to Innkeeper. They land on the calendar with their guest profiles. On the Boutique plan we run the import with you in an onboarding session.
