Mangobeds vs. SiteMinder
A fair, side-by-side comparison to help you choose the right property management platform for your business.
At a glance
SiteMinder is the world's largest open hotel commerce platform, connecting over 47,000 hotels in 150+ countries to 450+ booking channels. It's a powerful channel manager and distribution hub, with an optional booking engine and website builder on its Plus plan. SiteMinder integrates with 350+ PMS systems but does not include its own PMS.
Mangobeds is an all-in-one property management platform built by operators who run hotels, hostels, and colivings themselves. It includes PMS, channel manager, booking engine, AI agents, and invoicing in a single transparent plan, with no per-booking fees.
The key difference: SiteMinder is a distribution-first platform that connects to your existing PMS, while Mangobeds is an all-in-one platform that replaces the need for a separate PMS entirely.

Pricing
All-in-one pricing vs. add-on costs
SiteMinder's base plan covers channel management, but key features like the booking engine require an upgrade to Plus. Mangobeds includes everything in one plan.

Why operators choose Mangobeds over SiteMinder
All-in-one vs. distribution-only
SiteMinder is a powerful distribution platform, but it doesn't include a PMS, invoicing, or housekeeping. You need to pay for a separate PMS and connect it. Mangobeds gives you everything in one plan: PMS, channel manager, booking engine, AI agents, and invoicing.
No hidden transactional fees
SiteMinder charges transactional fees on certain channel connections and metasearch bookings. Mangobeds has zero commission on all bookings, direct or via OTAs. What you see is what you pay.
AI agents included, not missing
Mangobeds includes AI agents that handle guest enquiries 24/7, automate communications, and provide smart insights. SiteMinder has no built-in AI agent capability — you'd need to bolt on a third-party tool.
Built for all property types
SiteMinder is built primarily for traditional hotels. Mangobeds is designed for hotels, hostels, colivings, B&Bs, and vacation rentals alike, with features tailored to each property type, including coliving-specific tools and smart gap filling.
Simpler, more transparent pricing
SiteMinder's pricing varies by plan tier, with key features like the booking engine locked behind the Plus plan and add-ons for GDS, metasearch, and guest engagement. Mangobeds has one plan with everything included.
Free migration, zero setup fees
Switch to Mangobeds with zero friction. We migrate your data for free, connect your channels, and get you live in hours, not weeks. No setup fees, no consultants, no long-term contracts. Ready to migrate?

Mangobeds has been a great booking system for our Coliving. It is easy to use and the team behind it is amazing. They are open to suggestions on adding features and are very fast to respond to any questions you may have. We highly recommend using Mangobeds for your Coliving!

Awesome. The best booking engine for colivings. Not just super easy to set up and use, but it also includes all the necessary features that a coliving needs, and more. Moreover, the team is just great, no words for the kindness and availability of the guys. We recently started our coliving project and I could not imagine of a better partner than mangobeds. I have been supported and helped since the onboarding and they are doing their best to help us grow. Just amazing!!

Mangobeds is the perfect booking system for a small coliving space like Nine Coliving. We are using Mangobeds for our Coliving for almost a year now and we are super happy. The system is completely made for Coliving spaces and whenever we have a suggestion to make the tool work better for us, the team always help.

We’ve been using Mangobeds for a month now and it is everything we wanted. After trying 5 other booking systems - this one is perfect if you run a coliving space. The best part about it, is the amazing team behind who are cocreating this booking process with you to make it seamless and are extremely responsive. Don’t look elsewhere - this is it.

Starting and running our rural coliving has been exciting and challenging, and Mangobeds has made managing bookings and communications with guests so much easier. It’s simple to set up and use, and it has everything we need to keep things running smoothly. What’s really great is that the people at Mangobeds understand what colivings are all about. They’re always quick to answer our questions, and they’re always adding new features that make our lives easier based on our feedback. A special thanks to Ramón for his support, patience and guidance,he’s been a huge help! Mangobeds feels like more than just a booking engine, they feel like a partner who wants us to succeed. And that is invaluable. Looking forward to the path ahead together!

After sales customer service is superb. Mangobeds gets our operations. The app is always upgrading to be better and more optimized whenever we give feedback. The system is easier to use than the previous one AND it’s as affordable. My operational team were so happy when we made the switch. Whenever we encounter an issue, 99% of the problems are resolved within 24hours. I cannot be happier to make the switch.

The team is extremely supportive and dedicated. They not only use coliving spaces themselves but also maintain friendships with coliving operators.

For sure one of the best investments we have made - I can’t praise it enough!
