Evaluating PMS Options: Stayflexi’s Advantages Over Mews

In the ever-evolving world of hospitality technology, choosing the right Property Management System (PMS) can significantly impact guest experience, operational efficiency, and revenue growth. Two standout players in the market are Mews, a globally recognized PMS with a strong presence in Europe and North America, and Stayflexi, a fast-growing platform known for automation, flexibility, and modern design.

While both are built for the modern hotelier, Stayflexi brings unique advantages that cater especially well to dynamic, multi-segment hospitality businesses. Here’s a feature-by-feature comparison to help you make the best decision for your property.

1. Automation-First Design

Stayflexi: Built from the ground up to automate daily operations — from self check-ins and auto-room assignments to automated folios, payments, and reconciliations.
Mews: Offers automation features, but often depends on third-party tools or requires more configuration for specific workflows.

2. All-in-One Platform

Stayflexi: Combines PMS, booking engine, channel manager, POS, housekeeping, and rate intelligence into a single interface.
Mews: Offers robust core PMS features with integration options, but many functions (like POS or analytics) often rely on external tools and partner add-ons.

3. Hourly & Flexi Booking Capabilities

Stayflexi: A clear advantage — supports hourly and flexible duration bookings, enabling higher revenue per room by maximizing idle inventory.
Mews: Primarily supports traditional night-based bookings, making it less adaptable for co-living, airport stays, or short-stay accommodations.

4. Mobile App & On-the-Go Control

Stayflexi: Fully operational mobile app with offline capabilities, empowering staff to manage tasks from anywhere.
Mews: Has a mobile-friendly dashboard, but functionality is more limited compared to Stayflexi’s native mobile apps for both staff and owners.

5. Integrated Revenue Intelligence

Stayflexi: Built-in rate intelligence dashboard for real-time competitor pricing, rate recommendations, and dynamic pricing tools.
Mews: Supports integrations with external RMS providers, which often come with additional costs and setup time.

6. Website Builder + Integrated Booking Engine

Stayflexi: Offers a customizable, ready-to-launch website builder seamlessly integrated with its booking engine, making it easy to drive direct bookings without additional setup.
Mews: Provides a booking engine, but website creation is typically managed through third-party integrations or external platforms.

7. Faster Onboarding & Personalized Support

Stayflexi: Known for quick onboarding and responsive customer success teams, especially in emerging markets and Asia-Pacific.
Mews: Offers global support, but onboarding may take longer and is often self-serve or tiered by plan.

8. Transparent, Scalable Pricing

Stayflexi: Modular pricing with no hidden fees. Properties only pay for what they use — ideal for growing hotels and vacation rentals.
Mews: Pricing varies based on integrations and add-ons, which can increase overall cost over time.

Conclusion

Both Stayflexi and Mews are capable PMS solutions built for modern hospitality. But if you're looking for more flexibility, higher automation, integrated tools, and scalable pricing, Stayflexi could be the better fit for your hotel or vacation rental.
