Self service support, Top up pricing model.

This is both a review of the plugin and the service, the plugin is just an extension of the service and is useless without subscribing.

I was building a site for a client with a B&B and looking at many of the channel managers on the market, a lot of them seemed to be targeting bigger hotels and required you to request a quote without listing a price, so you know they are going to take you for all your worth, I was doing my research on the OTA’s also, seeing which ones give the lowest commission, booking.com was 15%, airbnb 3%, so I googled channel manager for airbnb and beds24 was ranking well for that so I gave them a look, honestly the front site isn’t keeping up with the latest web design trend/fad so I didn’t have the biggest expectations, and I was pleasantly surprised, the backend has all the functionality you need with a clear pricing structure, and everything is responsive/mobile ready. I really liked the idea that you can add an extra channel for 1 euro a month, remove it if it’s not bringing in bookings.

Pros.
-Transparent pricing.
-Relatively Easy to use.
-All the Functionality you need
-Integrates with a bunch of payment gateways to accept bookings, I was using Stripe, what’s nice is that the default have is to redirect to beds24 SSL secured page so you don’t need to pay up for a SSL cert to accept payment online.

Cons.
It doesn’t seem to be a huge company, you won’t get phone support,
but they generally respond to questions within 2-8 hours on their forum. You can submit tickets also and those usually get resolved also within about the same time.

All in all, for small establishments, this is definitely the most financially prudent solution.
