The Hotels Network and TinyBell both help hotels get more direct bookings. Here is an honest side-by-side comparison to help you choose.
The Hotels Network is a direct booking platform built for hotel chains and large independents. It combines price comparison, upselling overlays, email retargeting, and metasearch management. Hotels sign an annual contract, connect their PMS, and work with a dedicated account manager.
TinyBell is a conversion widget for independent hotels. You install one script, create a widget, and it is live in 5 minutes. No PMS connection. No onboarding call. Published pricing, monthly contract.
The honest difference
The Hotels Network is a full platform that requires time, budget, and a team to use well. TinyBell is a focused tool that works out of the box for a single hotel manager running everything themselves.
THN has a price comparison widget that shows your direct rate next to OTA prices in real time. TinyBell does not. If rate comparison is your primary need and you have an API-ready booking engine, THN covers that specifically.
TinyBell A/B testing is cookieless, meaning it includes visitors who reject cookies. THN testing is cookie-based, so those visitors are excluded from your experiments by default.
On price: THN does not publish pricing. TinyBell starts at €39/month, billed annually, with no limits. If budget is a factor, that gap is real.
Choose THN if
You manage a hotel chain or a large property with a PMS, a revenue management process, and a budget for an annual platform. You want hands-on support from a dedicated account team and need rate comparison as part of the package.
Choose TinyBell if
You run an independent hotel and want direct booking conversion working today. You want published pricing, no annual lock-in, and a setup you can do yourself.
