Prostay vs. RoomRaccoon
RoomRaccoon is a capable independent stack. Prostay is the one with AI agents that act.
RoomRaccoon has built a strong all-in-one for independent hotels. Prostay competes by shipping a more mature AI agent layer, deeper payment flexibility and integrated accounting on top of the same all-in-one promise.
Credit where it’s due.
These are the rows where RoomRaccoon genuinely earns its customers. We don’t pretend otherwise.
All-in-one
A capable independent platform.

Where we make a different bet.
These are the rows we built the platform to win. Each one is anchored in a real product surface.
AI
AI agents that act.
RoomRaccoon ships AI features. Prostay ships AI agents that quote, post charges and issue keys with deterministic tool-use and audit trails.
Payments
Flexible acquiring + same-acquirer F&B.
Prostay Pay covers PMS folio and POS with one settlement file. RoomRaccoon’s payment story is good but typically less flexible across regions.
Accounting
Accounting in the platform.
Prostay Accounting auto-posts journals and produces owner statements; RoomRaccoon typically integrates with a third-party accounting tool.
Sales
A real sales-software module.
Hotel Sales Software ships RFP responses, accounts and pace data. RoomRaccoon focuses on the rooms side; sales workflows are commonly handled outside.
