Frequently asked questions
No. Duetto is an RMS that automates rate decisions. Guestivo is a guest experience platform. They solve different problems and many hotels run both.
Not directly — Duetto is an RMS that talks to the PMS, not the guest experience platform. Guestivo and Duetto meet through the PMS in the middle: Duetto pushes rate decisions to the PMS, Guestivo reads reservations and posts folio charges to the same PMS. We integrate with any PMS that exposes an API (scoped per customer at onboarding); Apaleo is our reference integration, currently in Apaleo Store certification (2026).
Typically at 80+ rooms or with complex segmentation and seasonality. Below 50 rooms, lighter RMS alternatives or disciplined manual yield management often suffice.
Yes. Guestivo does not require Duetto or any specific RMS. It works with whatever pricing approach the hotel uses.
