Mangobeds vs. Simple Booking

A fair, side-by-side comparison to help you choose the right property management platform for your business.

At a glance

Simple Booking is a cloud-based hotel booking engine and central distribution system by the Zucchetti Group, serving over 4,000 hotels worldwide. It focuses on boosting direct online reservations through a conversion-optimized booking engine, channel management, metasearch integration, and revenue analytics. Simple Booking does not include a PMS — it's designed to work alongside your existing property management system.

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: Simple Booking is a distribution and booking engine specialist that complements your existing PMS, while Mangobeds is an all-in-one platform that replaces the need for a separate PMS entirely.

Why Mangobeds

Why operators choose Mangobeds over Simple Booking

All-in-one vs. booking layer only

Simple Booking focuses on the booking engine and distribution layer. You still need a separate PMS for check-in/out, housekeeping, invoicing, and daily operations. Mangobeds gives you everything in one plan: PMS, channel manager, booking engine, AI agents, and invoicing.

Up to 75% cheaper with PMS included

Simple Booking charges $10–15 per unit/month for distribution alone, and you still need a separate PMS on top. Mangobeds includes PMS, channel manager, booking engine, AI agents, and invoicing in one plan — at a fraction of the cost.

AI agents included, not just a chatbot

Simple Booking offers RezMate, a booking chatbot. Mangobeds includes full AI agents that handle guest enquiries 24/7, automate communications across channels, and provide smart operational insights — not just booking assistance.

Built for all property types

Simple Booking is designed primarily for hotels. Mangobeds is built 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.

No separate PMS costs

With Simple Booking, you need to budget for a separate PMS on top of their distribution fees. Mangobeds eliminates that entirely — one subscription covers your full operational stack.

저희가 저희 숙소에 예약 시스템을 도입하기로 했을 때, 가능한 모든 옵션을 살펴봤습니다. Mangobeds는 저희 필요에 가장 잘 맞는 기능을 제공하며 단연 눈에 띄었습니다. 몇 달 사용해 본 지금, 이보다 더 만족할 수 없어요. 팀은 невероятно... 죄송, 한국어로 자연스럽게: 팀은 정말 빠르게 응답해 주었고, 저희가 겪는 모든 특별한 상황에 대해 언제나 질문에 답하고 해결책을 제시해 주었습니다. 지금까지는 10점 만점에 10점인 경험입니다.

정말 훌륭한 도구를 만들었습니다. 온보딩부터 일상적인 관리까지, Mangobeds에서의 경험은 탁월했습니다. 이전 예약 시스템에서의 마이그레이션을 제가 아무것도 하지 않아도 될 정도로 매끄럽게 처리해 주었습니다. 기능들이 매우 잘 설계되어 있고 진정으로 유용합니다. Mangobeds로 전환한 이후, 일상 업무에서 상당한 시간을 절약하고 있습니다. 정말 눈에 띄는 점은 그들의 대응 속도입니다. 새로운 요구가 생길 때마다 연락하면 같은 날 구현해 주는 경우가 많습니다. Mangobeds 뒤에 헌신적이고 매우 전문적인 팀이 있다는 것이 분명히 느껴집니다.
