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 does not replace your hotel software — it complements it. 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. All functions run PMS-agnostically through the respective connector; what matters is the integration status (live or beta).

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.
apaleo
BetaNatively missing are the German mandatory and comfort topics: § 14 invoices with tourist tax, automated guest communication and bundled review management — exactly the gaps zimrly closes.
Cloudbeds
BetaNatively missing are the German mandatory and comfort topics: § 14 invoices with tourist tax, automated guest communication and bundled review management — exactly the gaps zimrly closes.
Beds24
BetaNatively missing are the German mandatory and comfort topics: § 14 invoices with tourist tax, automated guest communication and bundled review management — exactly the gaps zimrly closes.
Sirvoy
BetaNatively missing are the German mandatory and comfort topics: § 14 invoices with tourist tax, automated guest communication and bundled review management — exactly the gaps zimrly closes.
Hostaway
BetaWhat is often missing: German § 14 invoices, tourist tax and guest communication that doesn't turn every enquiry into manual work.
Guesty
BetaWhat German hosts miss: legally compliant § 14 invoices, tourist tax and guest communication without manual work.
Why zimrly closes the gaps as an add-on
Switching PMS is expensive, risky and disrupts operations. The good news: in most cases it isn't necessary at all. Your PMS does what it was built for — reservations, availability, master data — usually solidly. What's missing are the German mandatory and comfort topics around it: legally compliant § 14 invoices with tourist tax, guest communication that doesn't turn every enquiry into manual work, bundled review management, a price cap for the repricer, self check-in and payroll export.
Exactly these building blocks you add with zimrly — PMS-agnostically through the respective connector. You keep your PMS and pick one of three clear plans: Start at €49 (guest guide, reviews, insights, two users included), Pro at €99 (adds WhatsApp inbox, AI replies, self check-in) and Max at €159 per month (all-in incl. invoicing, tourist tax, DATEV and tax-advisor access).
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.
Keep your system. zimrly does the rest.
