The short version
Mews is a well-established hotel system used by more than 15,000 hoteliers, with a large marketplace of connected apps. mDOS runs the hotel too, with front desk, night audit, housekeeping, rates and a channel manager, and adds your restaurant bookings, guest marketing, reviews, loyalty (Beta) and website, at one price per site with every feature included. If you want one system for the whole guest journey and an AI team (Beta) that helps you sell, mDOS is worth a look. If you want the widest choice of connected apps, Mews is hard to beat.
How our software compares
This compares our software’s features only. Our AI agents and our partner Marketing Experts come on top, and no single tool here includes them. Every mDOS line is live today unless it says Beta. Every Mews line comes from Mews’s own website; “Not listed” means we couldn’t find it there. Checked on 9 Oct 2026; sources are listed below.
And on top of the software: AI agents that do the legwork, and vetted Marketing Experts running it with you. No single tool compared here includes them.
Where mDOS is stronger
- Fixed pricing: one price per site with every feature included, so no surprise per-user or per-module costs.
- Marketing tools included in every plan: SEO, AI search, social media, Google Business Profile, paid ads, digital PR (Beta) and visitor intelligence. Run them yourself, with the AI team (Beta), or let our marketing team run them on the Managed plan.
- Your restaurant, events, website and guest marketing run in the same system as your rooms, at one price per site.
- An AI team (Beta) that drafts campaigns and review replies around the clock once you switch it on, and live chat with our marketing team on every plan.
- Vetted Marketing Experts on the Managed plan: a Certified Partner Agency (such as Founding Partner Mr Digital) runs your marketing for you, under a retainer contracted and invoiced by that partner.
Where Mews is stronger
- A much larger marketplace: Mews lists more than 1,000 connected apps and an open way to link your own tools.
- Scale and track record: Mews says more than 15,000 hoteliers use it.
- Guest technology such as digital room keys and self-serve kiosks, which mDOS doesn’t offer today.
- Revenue management with real-time, automatic pricing, where mDOS changes rates by rules you set.

Moving from Mews at your own pace
You don’t have to switch everything at once. Start with guest marketing or your website, keep Mews running side by side while its contract runs out, and we move your guest history across. We build a switching plan around your hotel.
More than a hotel system
Unlike Mews, mDOS isn’t only a hotel system. You get The Platform, The AI Agents and The Marketing Experts, working as one, at one price per site.
World-leading software
Not just a hotel system: your website, bookings, customer records, marketing and team tools in one system.
Tireless AI agents
AI agents draft campaigns, review replies and follow-ups for you to approve, and spot problems early. Nothing goes out without your approval.
Real experts driving it
Vetted Marketing Experts, led by our Founding Partner Agency Mr Digital, set the plan and steer the AI. On Managed, we run your marketing and answer for the results.
