A guest finds your hotel on an OTA, then opens your website. The OTA shows a lower price, so the guest goes back and the OTA takes the commission.

PriceMatch AI closes that gap while the guest is still on your page.

PriceMatch AI on a demo hotel: same guest, same search, checked live eight ways, matched on the hotel's own booking engine, evidence kept, booking won direct. Press play.

Matches or beats any OTA, plus perks

PriceMatch AI checks the price this guest can see on the OTA, live. Your booking engine then shows a price that matches or beats it, with the same extras, and the guest earns your loyalty points and perks on top. Every match is logged with evidence. The eight like-for-like checks are in how hotel price matching works.

Why Loyalty, CRM and PriceMatch AI work best together

  • Loyalty gives the guest a reason to book direct
  • The AI-powered CRM knows the guest and brings them back with the one right offer
  • PriceMatch AI removes the last reason to book anywhere else

Win the first booking. Keep the guest. Win every booking after.
