The main Enso Connect alternatives in 2026 are Valiris, Mr Sherlock, CozyUp, Duve, Hospitable and HostBuddy AI, and the right one depends on what you want to keep: your PMS, your extras revenue, or a full guest guide. Enso Connect remains a strong choice for operators with 20+ properties who want one platform with guest verification.

Enso Connect at a glance
Enso Connect describes itself as a guest experience and revenue platform for vacation rentals and boutique hotels. It brings together a unified inbox (Airbnb, Booking.com, WhatsApp, SMS, email, phone), AI in Copilot or Autopilot mode, a web guest guide with no app to download (Boarding Pass), upsells, guest verification and deposits or damage waivers.
- Target: professional operators with 20+ properties, according to Enso.
- Scale: 60,000+ active properties and 70+ countries claimed.
- Price: on quote, unlimited users, monthly, quarterly or yearly billing, trial after a demo. Commissions on upsells, with no public rate.
- Reviews: 4.8/5 from 74 reviews on Capterra.
Who should pick Enso Connect
To be fair: if you run a large portfolio, want a full guest guide with ID verification and authority reporting, and your PMS is on its integrations list, Enso Connect ticks a lot of boxes. Unlimited users are also a real plus for a big team.
Why look for an alternative
- The price is not public. You need a demo to get a price and access the trial.
- Extras carry a commission. Enso mentions commissions on upsells without publishing the rate. If extras are your main extra income, the maths matters.
- Your PMS is not on the list. SuperHote, Smoobu and Node were not on Enso's integrations page on 20 October 2026.
- You run fewer than 20 properties. Enso targets portfolios of 20+ properties first.

In short: Enso Connect is broader (guest guide, verification, integrations, large teams). Valiris is more focused on what earns money: extras offered at the right moment by Val's Midas Touch, paid into your own Stripe account with no commission, and an AI that handles 90% of messages. So far €10,400+ of extras have been sold for our clients, and some properties bring in more than €300 of extras a month. See Valiris upsells and our pricing.
