Straight comparisons and practical guides for teams choosing software for hotels, vacation rentals and property operations. No fluff, no fake benchmarks - just what each tool is good at, and where Brahma fits.
Two kinds of page live here. Comparisons and alternatives help you weigh a specific tool you are already considering. Guides walk through a decision end to end. Both link down into the solution pages.

The category check, the eight questions to ask every vendor, what it should cost, and how to migrate safely.

Read the guideThe three pricing models, what drives the price, the hidden costs nobody quotes, and how to budget.
Read the guideBefore you compare vendors, get the category right. This is the sequence we would run with you on a call.
A system of record (PMS, PM software), a distribution tool (channel manager), or the layer that does the work (agents). Most teams need two.
Write down the jobs that eat your week - replies, turnovers, arrears, reports. That list, not a feature grid, decides the shortlist.
Everything must connect to what you already run. If a tool will not sit alongside your stack, it is a migration, not an upgrade.
Per-room and per-unit pricing scales against you. Price the work you remove, not the seats you add.
Ask for a live workspace on your data, not a slide deck. Then decide.

Explore BrahmaOne monthly fee, hosting, AI usage and support included, and agents that add on as you grow. Every plan begins the same way - with a free assessment and a free first month - so you see it working before you commit.
No credit card required. We assess the work, stand the platform up on your own systems, and run the first month alongside your team. You continue only if you are happy with the results and can see a measurable impact on your revenue and your cost - if you cannot see it, say so and walk away.
Unlimited properties, units and rooms
On every plan. Add doors, add rooms, add listings - your Brahma bill does not move.
One agent, one job, live in weeks. The smallest way to see the platform work on your own data.
A working platform with your first agents live, fast. Built for the small and growing business.
Heavier operations: more connectors, more agents, priority delivery.
Your own instance, on your own domain or subdomain, with your governance - run by us, reviewed by your team.
Every plan includes hosting, AI usage, and support, with usage metered per agent and shown live in your portal. Extra agents add on at $249 per agent per month, and extra connectors as fixed builds - far less than the subscription it replaces. Sub-agents are the specialist workers each agent can call on to finish a job. You get the full number before we start.
