GuideChimp vs Touch Stay: which fits your team?

Where GuideChimp is the better fit
Operators with a team across several properties, who want every guide organised by property and a lower bill.
Built around your team
Each property holds its guest, cleaner and staff guides side by side, and your SOPs sit above them, covering every property. On Portfolio you choose which SOPs each team member can see.
Costs less, and less again as you grow
Team and Portfolio cost about 20% less than Touch Stay's Growth and Pro for one property. Every property past the fourth gets a volume discount, and one property is free for good.
Shows you what's missing
When a guest searches a guide and finds nothing, you see it: “hairdryer, searched 3 times”. That's your list of what to add next.
When Touch Stay is the better choice
Touch Stay does more on the guest side than we do. It's likely the better pick if:
- You want an AI chatbot to answer guests' questions for you.
- You want guest messaging and scheduled messages in the same tool as your guidebook.
- You want to sell extras to guests through your guidebook.
- You want your guidebook connected directly to your PMS, not just linked from it.
- You want quizzes and forms inside your SOPs.
Try it on one property, free
Write a cleaner checklist and a guest guide, send the links, and see whether your team stops calling you.
