COMPARISON

PAIVUS vs Mews

Mews is a genuinely strong platform rated Best PMS three years running. The question is whether a global enterprise platform with no published pricing and a typical two-year contract is the right fit for a 20-room independent hotel in the UK.

The honest case for Mews

If you run a multi-property group, need 1,000+ marketplace integrations, or want a platform with a decade of enterprise hardening behind it, Mews is a legitimate choice. The trade-off is cost and commitment — a realistic full-feature Mews stack is well above what a small independent hotel typically budgets for software, on a multi-year contract with pricing only available after a sales call.

Where PAIVUS is different

PAIVUS is built specifically for UK independent hotels — VAT compliance, yield management, and payments included as standard, with no requirement to sit through a sales call to find out what it costs.
