Join Thousands of Hotels Thriving with roommaster
The transition to roommaster is straightforward and efficient. Our implementation team handles data migration including reservations, guest profiles, and historical information.

Profitroom is a direct-booking and marketing suite, not a full PMS, so its pricing is module based and part of it is a commission on the bookings it wins. The channel manager is reported at about €69 per month (about $75) for unlimited channel connections, plus €35 per month (about $38) to connect your PMS. The Booking Engine 360 is commission based at around 3.5% per confirmed reservation, and the CRM, marketing automation, loyalty, and website tools are custom quoted. Because it is a booking and marketing layer, you still run it on top of a separate PMS.
Because a booking engine is one piece of the stack, it helps to see it inside the whole. roommaster includes a commission-free hotel booking engine in the PMS itself, which is a useful reference point as you read.

Profitroom sells modules rather than one PMS subscription, and you assemble the pieces you need around a PMS you already run. The core lines are the Booking Engine 360, priced on a commission per confirmed reservation; the Channel Manager, at a flat monthly fee plus a PMS integration fee; and the CRM with marketing automation, loyalty, and Smart Guest Database, quoted per property.
On top of those sit optional service engagements: website design and build, plus digital marketing services such as SEO and paid advertising management, which are billed separately and sometimes offered on a pay-per-stay model instead of a fixed fee. Profitroom is an official Booking.com Premier Partner with two-way PMS connectivity, and it markets to European independents, small chains, and resorts in the 10 to 75 room range. New accounts are commonly offered a two-month trial and complimentary setup.

Because Profitroom is a booking and marketing layer, the right comparison is module by module, not tier by tier. The table below combines Profitroom's stated modules with reported figures from directories such as HotelMinder.
Two things stand out. The real recurring cost is not the €69 module fee, it is the 3.5% commission on the direct bookings the engine wins, which scales with your revenue. And every module here assumes you already pay for a separate PMS, since Profitroom does not run the front desk, folios, or housekeeping.
The module fees look small until you add the commission on direct revenue, which is where the real spend sits. The worked figures below are reported market estimates, not official Profitroom quotes, and each assumes you also pay for a separate PMS.
A 20-room independent hotel: the channel manager plus PMS integration is about €104 per month ($115). Add the Booking Engine 360 at 3.5% on, say, €20,000 of monthly direct revenue and that is €700, for a total near €800 per month ($885) before CRM and marketing.
A 45-room boutique resort: €104 per month in modules, plus 3.5% on around €60,000 of direct revenue is €2,100, landing near €2,200 per month (~$2,440) before the CRM/marketing suite, which is quoted on top.
A 100-room resort: €104 per month in modules, plus 3.5% on around €150,000 of direct revenue is €5,250, so budget near €5,350 per month (~$5,900), before a separate PMS subscription and custom marketing lines.
Use it as a template: add the fixed module fees, then 3.5% of your monthly direct booking revenue, then the custom CRM and marketing lines, and finally the PMS bill you already pay. A fuller walkthrough of that method sits in our hotel software pricing guide. If direct bookings are the goal, our five strategies to increase direct bookings guide shows where that revenue comes from.

The module fees are the visible part. These are the costs that surface later, and they are the reason a €69 headline can become the smallest line on the invoice.
To be fair, Profitroom earns strong reviews for a real reason: as a direct-booking and marketing specialist it is a Booking.com Premier Partner with a conversion-focused engine, a capable CRM, and full-service digital growth. If filling rooms directly is your single priority and you already run a PMS you like, that focus is a genuine strength, and it competes well against a standalone hotel crm software plus booking engine bought separately.

These are different tools, so this is not a full-PMS scorecard. Profitroom is a booking and marketing layer that sits on your PMS; roommaster is a PMS with the booking engine already inside. The comparison below is on the booking-engine and distribution overlap.
Profitroom is built to fill rooms. roommaster is built to run them, with the booking engine already inside the PMS, so you are not paying a commission to a separate layer to capture your own direct bookings.
That difference matters most on the commission line. Because roommaster includes a commission-free booking engine, a channel manager, and built-in revenue management in one resort pms software quote, your direct bookings do not carry a 3.5% cut to a third party, and you are not paying a PMS and a booking suite side by side. You run reservations, guest records, and distribution off one system, which keeps guest data in one place for marketing rather than split between a PMS and a separate CRM. For a growing independent, that single-vendor setup is easier to budget than a stack of modules, as our independent hotel software buyers often find.
Where does Profitroom still win? If you already run a PMS you are happy with and want a best-in-class direct-booking and marketing layer on top, the specialist is the better pick, and its CRM and digital services go deeper than a bundled PMS engine. But if you would rather own the booking engine inside the PMS and skip the commission, roommaster is the stronger fit.

Profitroom is a capable direct-booking and marketing suite, and for a hotel or resort that already runs a PMS and wants stronger direct sales, the €69 channel manager and conversion-focused engine can pay for themselves. The catch is total cost: the 3.5% booking commission grows with your revenue, the CRM and marketing modules are custom quoted, and you still carry a separate PMS bill underneath, so the real number is well above the headline module fee.
The smart move is to model it honestly. Add the fixed module fees, then 3.5% of your monthly direct revenue, then the custom CRM and marketing lines, and finally your existing PMS cost. Then hold that all-in figure against a single bundled quote that already includes the booking engine. If you are weighing the full stack, our best hospitality management software comparison applies the same lens.

Profitroom is module based. The channel manager is about €69 per month plus €35 for PMS integration, and the Booking Engine 360 is commission based at about 3.5% per confirmed reservation. CRM and marketing modules are custom quoted, and you also pay for a separate PMS.
No. Profitroom is a booking engine, channel manager, and CRM/marketing suite. It integrates with your property management system rather than replacing it, so you still run a separate PMS for front desk, folios, and housekeeping.
The main extras are the 3.5% booking commission that grows with direct revenue, the €35 monthly PMS integration fee, custom-quoted CRM and marketing modules, separate digital marketing engagements, and the cost of the PMS you still run underneath.
The Booking Engine 360 is reported at about 3.5% per confirmed reservation, so the fee scales with the direct bookings it wins. On €60,000 of monthly direct revenue that is roughly €2,100, which is usually far larger than the fixed module fees.
Profitroom commonly offers new accounts a two-month trial with complimentary setup. Full pricing for the CRM, marketing, and loyalty modules is quoted per property, so you speak with sales for a custom figure.
Profitroom charges a commission on direct bookings and sits on top of a separate PMS. roommaster includes a commission-free booking engine, channel manager, and revenue tools inside one PMS quote, so direct bookings do not carry a third-party cut.
