Pricing and packaging
Ribat charges a flat monthly fee per property by room count, from $49 (1–2 rooms) to $289 (101+ rooms), with every tool included, 0% booking commission and a 14-day free trial.
Cloudbeds’ pricing page asks you to request a quote and does not list prices. Its Flex tier expects you to bring your own distribution through a partner channel manager, while the One tier includes the channel manager and booking engine. Ask for a quote with every module you need priced in.
Smart locks
Ribat’s TTLock integration creates a unique passcode per booking, emails it to the guest and expires it at checkout. Battery and offline alerts are included, and codes can be generated, revoked or extended manually.
Cloudbeds describes a marketplace with 400+ integration partners but its pricing page does not name lock vendors, so ask which lock brands are supported and what they cost.
When Cloudbeds is a better fit
- You run a larger hotel and want a broader hospitality suite than Ribat’s feature set, including its large integration marketplace.
- You need a booking engine for your own website, which Ribat does not provide.
- Airbnb is a core channel for you and you need its rates, messaging and guest details inside your PMS. Ribat keeps Airbnb availability in sync.

- You want TTLock door codes created for every booking automatically.
- You want a short setup of about 15 minutes and a 14-day free trial.
- You want no booking commission and no multi-property penalty.
