The 5 Best Rate Parity Tools for Boutique Hotels in 2025

Choosing the Right Fit


  1. Budget vs. Benefit. Expect $100–$300/month; calculate payback on one prevented OTA leak.


  2. Integration. Does the tool plug into your PMS or channel manager? Fewer logins means daily use.


  3. Support. Caribbean time zones matter—look for 24/7 chat or regional reps.


Quick-Start Checklist

  • Pick one tool and set alerts for gaps >5 percent

  • Schedule weekly reports to your inbox

  • Escalate repeat offenders with screenshots

  • Track ADR lift and booking-engine conversion after 90 days
