3RPMS
Live3RPMS reliably manages your reservations, availability and master data — but it leaves you on your own for guest automation and invoicing.
Hotel software comparison 2026: which gaps zimrly closes
zimrly complements your hotel software — or replaces it, if you want. This matrix shows, for the eight PMS zimrly supports, which extra functions you get as an add-on and what each piece of software leaves open natively. Invoices, guest communication, reviews, repricer connection and insights run through any connector. Two functions, however, depend on zimrly being allowed to write bookings back into your system reliably — those are listed per software below.

Fully available with zimrly as your own PMS
Every other function in the matrix runs through any connector. These need a verified booking return path into your hotel software — and that does not exist for every system yet. With zimrly as your own PMS they are there from day one.
- OTA distribution via zimrlypartly available
Distribution through zimrly needs two building blocks per hotel software: a mirror that pushes your rates and availability out to the channels, and a verified return path that writes the OTA booking back into your system. For this software neither exists today.
Fully available today with: 3RPMS — partly with: Smoobu.
- Own direct-booking engine
The zimrly booking engine only sells rooms it can reliably write back into your hotel software afterwards. That verified return path does not exist for this software yet.
Fully available today with: 3RPMS.
What is missing natively?
Every PMS is strong at its core — and typically leaves the same gaps open. Here in one sentence per system.
Smoobu
LiveSmoobu keeps bookings, calendars and channel sync together — but you need more for legally compliant invoices and automated guest communication.

Why zimrly can replace your PMS
Switching PMS has to be planned carefully. The benefit is straightforward: reservations, availability, rates, communication, invoicing and distribution live in one system instead of an expensive chain of PMS, add-ons and manual hand-offs.
zimrly is that system: €99 net per month for up to 10 rooms or units, then €8 net for each additional unit. AI and the phone agent are billed transparently by actual usage, with configurable cost and usage limits.
The status stays honest: 3RPMS and Smoobu are connected live, the remaining connectors are in beta — technically built, in pilot operation. Which function already runs in production for your PMS is shown above in the "Integration status" column.
One hotel. One system. Less manual work.
