Companies that serve as your revenue manager — plus the data platforms and RMS tools the industry runs on. Who they are, how they work, and who they're built for.
A human team acts as your revenue manager — strategy, yield decisions, RMS configuration, ownership reporting. Built for independent hotels and smaller ownership groups without in-house RM.
Data tools that feed RM decisions — comp set rates, market pace, pickup reports, demand forecasting. Usually tech-first, subscription-based, and used by in-house RM teams as their data layer.
Automated pricing engines that connect to the PMS and push rate recommendations or auto-accepts. IDeaS, Duetto, Atomize. Require in-house expertise to configure and manage effectively.

Formed from the merger of OTA Insight and Lighthouse, this is now one of the most widely used revenue intelligence platforms in hospitality. Rate shopping, market demand signals, pickup reports, and comp set benchmarking. Used by both in-house RM teams and management companies.
Revenue benchmarking platform with a strong focus on net revenue and channel acquisition cost analysis. Competes with STR on benchmarking but adds a layer of channel economics — useful for understanding the true cost of OTA-driven revenue vs. direct.
The industry standard for competitive set benchmarking. STAR reports are the primary tool for measuring RevPAR index (MPI, ARI, RGI) against a defined comp set. Now owned by CoStar. Used by virtually every management company, ownership group, and lender in the industry.
The dominant RMS for full-service and large-portfolio operators. IDeaS G3 RMS is the industry benchmark for automated pricing. Requires meaningful configuration investment and trained users to get full value. Widely used by major brands and management companies at full-service properties.
RMS focused on open pricing — rates that move independently rather than through a traditional BAR ladder structure. Popular with full-service, resort, and lifestyle properties that want more granular segment-level pricing. Strong in markets with complex group and transient mix.
AI-driven RMS positioned for select-service and independent operators who want automated pricing without the enterprise overhead of IDeaS or Duetto. Lighter implementation footprint, faster to deploy. Growing adoption in the select-service segment as an alternative to manual pricing.
