Practical takeaways for small properties
- Cloudbeds does not publish a price, so a price comparison needs a quote from them for your room count.
- Cloudbeds may suit you better if you run properties in several countries, sell on a wide set of OTAs, or want its partner marketplace and revenue tools.
- BitLegacy may suit you better if you want a published INR price, a 60-day trial and GST invoice series built for India.
- Compare like with like: a plan with the PMS alone is not the same as PMS plus booking engine plus channel manager.
Switching from Cloudbeds to BitLegacy
Ask Cloudbeds for your room list, rate notes and open reservations. On BitLegacy, create the property, map rooms, set your GST profile and connect the guest website; add Channel Manager if you sell on OTAs. Run a parallel weekend on the 60-day trial before cutover. We do not promise migration hours or zero downtime.
Frequently asked questions
How much does Cloudbeds cost?
Cloudbeds does not publish a price on its pricing page. Each plan (Flex, One, Experience, Enterprise) shows "Request a quote", so the price is on request. Checked Nov 6, 2026. BitLegacy Starter is ₹299/month for 2 rooms.
Does Cloudbeds support Indian GST invoices?
India and GST are not mentioned on the Cloudbeds pages we checked (Nov 6, 2026), so ask Cloudbeds how it handles the CGST / SGST / IGST split and your invoice series. BitLegacy issues GST folios on every paid plan.
How does BitLegacy invoice numbering compare with Cloudbeds?
BitLegacy lets you continue an existing series, use prefixes that reset with the Indian financial year on 1 April, checks the 16-character limit in CGST Rule 46, keeps a separate credit-note series and runs a series per GSTIN. The Cloudbeds Help Center (Nov 6, 2026) describes a prefix and starting index number, and says the number is not reset each year.
Does BitLegacy charge a commission on direct bookings?
No. BitLegacy takes 0% commission on direct stays. Cloudbeds also states it adds no commission on its Booking Engine or Channel Manager bookings; OTAs still charge their own commission.
Who should choose Cloudbeds instead?
Properties that operate across countries, want a large partner marketplace, or need a platform they buy by quote, after confirming India billing and support in writing.
