SitesPlaced vs eZee — which is better in 2026?
eZee: Long-running hotel software, now sold by Yanolja Cloud Solution (YCS): a booking engine from ₹2,250 a month plus GST, with a channel manager and front-desk system on bigger plans. Here is a plain, row-by-row comparison with SitesPlaced for a homestay, guesthouse or small hotel — price, commission, the booking engine, minimum rooms, channel manager and GST — including what SitesPlaced doesn’t do yet.
By Manan Agrawal, Founder · Updated October 28, 2026
Short answer: for a homestay, guesthouse or small hotel that sells mostly direct, SitesPlaced is the better value. eZee is a complete hotel system, and if most of your nights sell on Booking.com and MakeMyTrip its channel manager earns its fee — SitesPlaced has no automatic OTA sync yet, so you would add those bookings by hand. For a homestay or small hotel with 1–10 rooms, though, eZee’s booking engine alone is listed at ₹2,250 a month before GST, and it plugs into a website you must already have. SitesPlaced gives you the website and the booking engine together for ₹0: dates on a calendar with each night’s price, the total with GST before the button, and bookings you confirm yourself or instantly. For a small stay that wants direct bookings without a monthly software bill, SitesPlaced is the better choice.

What eZee does well — and where it stops
eZee is a real product and these are the things it genuinely does well. Whether they are worth paying for depends on how your bookings actually arrive:
- ✓A full hotel suite from one company: booking engine, channel manager, front-desk system (PMS — the software for check-ins, rooms and bills) and more.
- ✓A channel manager on the Supreme and Champion plans, so rooms and rates stay in sync on OTAs (online travel agents such as Booking.com and MakeMyTrip) without retyping.
- ✓Built for hotels with a reception desk and staff — things a 40-room property genuinely needs.
- ✓Priced in room bands, so the entry plan is set for a small property of 1–5 rooms.
Which one should you choose?
If most of your guests find you on Google, Instagram, WhatsApp or by word of mouth, SitesPlaced is the answer: a free website with a booking engine and 0% commission. The right-hand column is the short list of cases where you need more than that today.
Choose SitesPlaced if you…
- • You have 1–10 rooms and ₹2,250 to ₹7,500 a month plus GST is more than your direct bookings justify.
- • You don’t have a website yet — SitesPlaced gives you the website and the booking engine together, free.
- • You want guests to see the full price for their stay, GST included, before they press the button.
- • Most of your bookings come by phone and WhatsApp and you want one calendar where each room-night can only be sold once.
When eZee is the better fit
- • Most of your nights sell on Booking.com, MakeMyTrip or Agoda and you need a channel manager to sync them automatically — SitesPlaced doesn’t do that yet.
- • You run a larger hotel whose front desk, booking engine and other systems all need to work as one.

Frequently asked questions
Which is better — eZee or SitesPlaced?
For a homestay or small hotel taking direct bookings, SitesPlaced: the website and booking engine are free, there is 0% commission on every booking, and GST is worked out on the bill for you. eZee is the better pick if you need a channel manager to sync Booking.com and MakeMyTrip automatically, or a full front-desk system for a bigger hotel. For a 1–10 room stay that sells mostly direct, SitesPlaced costs nothing to run and does the job.
How much does eZee cost for a small homestay?
As listed on Techjockey in October 2026, eZee Reservation (the booking engine) starts at ₹2,250 a month before GST for 1–5 rooms. With a channel manager it is ₹5,250, with the front-desk system ₹4,500, and all three ₹7,500, each before GST. eZee’s own site asks for your property type and room count before it quotes. SitesPlaced’s booking engine and website are free; ₹199 a month adds your own domain.
Does SitesPlaced have a channel manager like eZee?
No. SitesPlaced doesn’t sync with Airbnb, Booking.com or MakeMyTrip automatically yet. You add those bookings to the calendar by hand — a tap from the Calendar tab — and each room-night can then only be sold once, so your own website can’t sell a room you already sold elsewhere.
Can guests pay online when they book on SitesPlaced?
Not at the moment of booking. You choose how guests pay — at the property, a deposit first, or in full first — and you collect the deposit or payment by UPI or bank transfer after you confirm. You record each payment on the booking, and it shows on the guest’s bill.
Do I need a website to use eZee?
eZee’s booking engine is sold to plug into your existing hotel website, as listed on Techjockey. SitesPlaced includes the website — the Homestay & Stays template with rooms, photos, meals, nearby places and directions — on the free plan.
Your own booking website, free
Publish your rooms, take bookings on a calendar that shows each night’s price and the total with GST, and run arrivals, check-ins and payments from one dashboard — free, with 0% commission. ₹199 a month adds your own domain.
