Alternatives

Softinn alternatives for homestay operators in Malaysia

Softinn is a Melaka hotel system with daily prices, from MYR 9.00 a day for Lite, and a free package charging 12% commission. For homestay owners wanting a monthly fee in ringgit and long-term rentals in the same unit, UrusPro is an alternative with first listing free, then RM 10 a month per homestay listing and RM 3 per room.

What Softinn's own site says

  • Softinn's pricing page publishes daily prices, not monthly: Lite from MYR 9.00 a day, Solo MYR 10.00, Elite MYR 14.30, Master MYR 15.00 and All Star MYR 20.00 a day.
  • All of those prices are marked as excluding tax, and every paid package carries a Get Quotation button.
  • The Starter package is listed as free with 12% commission, and the paid packages are listed as 0% commission.
  • The page offers a 14-day free trial with no credit card, and a 10% discount for annual payment.
  • The page footer states Softinn Solutions Sdn. Bhd., built in Melaka, for hotels in Southeast Asia.

Read from the Softinn pricing page on 13 September 2026. Prices change; check for yourself before deciding. We do not compare features with Softinn because we have never run it.

Why Malaysian operators look for something else

  • A daily price makes monthly budgeting harder: MYR 9.00 a day is about RM 270 a month for one property.
  • The free package carries 12% commission on every booking, so it stops being free once bookings come in.
  • The product is sold as a hotel system, and small homestay owners usually only need a calendar, direct bookings and cleaner operations.
  • Long-term monthly rentals are not part of the hotel software world.

Options, by situation

  1. Option 1

    UrusPro

    For: Malaysian operators with 1 to 15 units, homestay or monthly rental.

    Published prices in ringgit, first listing free, then RM 10 a month for each homestay listing and RM 3 a month for each room or bed let monthly, no commission on bookings, FPX, DuitNow and QR payments, and long-term rentals and tenancy documents in the same unit.

  2. Option 2

    Stay with Softinn

    For: Boutique hotels, resorts or chalets with a front desk and a shift team.

    It is sold as a hotel system and carries modules such as kiosk and front desk management. If that is what you run, switching to a homestay tool is a step backwards.

  3. Option 3

    A spreadsheet, for now

    For: One unit with a few bookings a month.

    Below a certain point, any system adds work without adding revenue. The trouble starts at the second unit or the second channel.
