Sirvoy vs Visbook — which hotel PMS fits your business?
Sirvoy and Visbook are both established hotel systems with Nordic roots, but they are built for different types of businesses. The main practical difference: Sirvoy has public pricing from $15/month with no contract and a free plan. Visbook is priced via quote.
Who is who?
Sirvoy
Sirvoy started in 2008 in Hjo, Sweden, as a family project. Today Sirvoy is used in 140+ countries — by everything from single B&Bs to hotel groups with multiple properties. The company is still family-owned and builds software around the same principle as day one: transparent pricing, no contract, and 24/7 human support.
Visbook
Visbook started in Norway and has 20+ years of history. Since 2024, Visbook is part of Visit Group together with Bookvisit. They serve over 1,000 customers in the Nordics and are particularly common at hotels that also run a restaurant or resort. Visbook focuses on complete operations for larger properties.

Frequently asked questions
Is Sirvoy cheaper than Visbook?
Sirvoy has public pricing from $15/month. Visbook is priced via quote, so we cannot answer generically — but Sirvoy's entry tier is clearly lower than what larger PMS solutions typically land at after a sales conversation.
Can I use Sirvoy if I have a restaurant?
Yes. Sirvoy has a POS module that handles both restaurant and retail. Visbook has a longer track record specifically in restaurant operations and may be better if that is the core of your business.
How long does it take to get started with Sirvoy compared to Visbook?
You can set up Sirvoy yourself in an afternoon — it is built to be self-serve. Visbook usually involves a project manager and a longer implementation phase, which is normal for larger hotel systems.
Do both offer English support?
Yes, both offer English support. Sirvoy also has 24/7 human support in multiple languages.
Can I switch from Visbook to Sirvoy?
Yes. Many customers switch down to Sirvoy when they realize they do not need everything Visbook offers, and that a simpler solution does the job. Our support team helps with data import.
