When Touch Stay or Hostfully fits better
If you manage many units and want the guidebook tied into property management software or automated guest messaging, the larger tools are built for that, and Herely does not connect to property management systems today.
When Herely fits better
- You host one to twenty places and want a guide that is live in fifteen minutes.
- You also run a restaurant, café or bar: the same account makes a QR menu with photos, prices, allergens and calories.
- Your guests come from many countries: nine languages, with missing texts translated for you.
- You want the printed QR to look good: eight sign designs with your colors and logo.
- You prefer one flat price to paying per property.

Good to know
Is Herely cheaper than Touch Stay?
For one property the prices are close. Herely charges one flat $9 a month (or $54 a year) for all your pages, so it costs less as you add properties.
Does Herely integrate with property management software?
Not today. Herely is a standalone guidebook and menu tool.
Do guests need an app?
No. Guests scan a QR code or tap a link and the page opens in the browser.
Can I try it without a card?
Yes. The 7-day trial starts when you sign up and needs no payment details.
