An Amenitiz alternative for independent owners

Amenitiz is a solid management and booking suite, but its heart is in the hotel world: hotels, guesthouses and properties with a front desk, with PMS, check-in and room-management modules. If you run one or several vacation rentals, much of that power goes unused while you still pay for its complexity. The alternative built specifically for your case — simple, modern and custom, with no hotel logic — is Kanarix.

Kanarix vs Amenitiz: quick comparison

How Amenitiz works and what it costs

Amenitiz combines a booking website, channel manager and a PMS (property management system) with plan-based pricing. It’s designed for operations with a front desk and many rooms, so its workflow and price reflect that complexity. For a property with a reception desk it makes complete sense; for a vacation rental, you pay for layers of management that don’t fit your day-to-day.

Where it falls short for a vacation rental

The issue isn’t that Amenitiz is bad — it’s that it’s over-sized for your case. Configuring a hotel PMS, maintaining room types and hotel-style rates, and navigating features you don’t need adds friction. A vacation-rental owner wants something direct: a nice website, bookings, calendar and a guest portal, without the machinery of a hotel.

How Kanarix is different

Kanarix is built exclusively for vacation rentals. You don’t pay for hotel modules you won’t use: you focus on direct bookings, calendar, seasonal pricing and the guest portal, with your brand and 0% commission. Pricing is simple and transparent — €49 per month plus €15 per property — and we build it in about 2 weeks, with support included.

Built for your case

Everything in Kanarix is designed around what matters to a vacation-rental owner. No front desk, no room types, no hotel complexity: a simple, guided experience anyone can understand, focused on filling your calendar with direct bookings.

Simple multi-property

Manage several properties from one clear dashboard, with independent calendars and seasonal pricing for each. Adding a property costs €15 per month; pricing grows predictably with your business, with no plan jumps or locked features.

Who it’s for (and who it’s not)

Kanarix fits if you have vacation rentals and want simplicity and custom design without the complexity of a hotel PMS. If you run a hotel with a 24h front desk, many rooms and hotel processes, a suite like Amenitiz will have features Kanarix doesn’t aim to cover.
