Mews alternative: own your PMS instead of renting it
THE SHORT ANSWER
Mews is software you subscribe to. Pricing: Per room, quote-based. Mews says it is “priced on a per-room basis” and builds a custom quote for each property. Occupancy Labs builds your hotel company its own PMS for one fixed price, custom-built around how you operate, and your company owns the code and the data.
