Are you still manually updating your hotel’s availability across 15 different booking sites? There’s a property manager in Goa who lost ₹35,000 in a single weekend because of double bookings during peak season.
Most channel managers in India cost upwards of ₹8,000 monthly – putting them out of reach for small to mid-sized properties. That’s exactly why world choice new ₹3499 plan is disrupting the entire hotel distribution landscape.
For the first time, independent hotels and budget properties can access premium distribution technology without premium pricing. The affordable channel manager connects your property to major OTAs like MakeMyTrip, Booking.com, and Expedia with real-time synchronization.
But here’s what most hoteliers don’t realize about this pricing breakthrough – it’s not just about saving money. It’s about something far more valuable to your bottom line…
Understanding the ₹3499 Channel Manager Plan
Features and benefits at a glance
The ₹3499 Channel Manager Plan isn’t just another option – it’s a complete game-changer for smaller Indian hotels. You get real-time inventory updates across all your booking channels, which means no more overselling rooms or managing spreadsheets at midnight.
This plan eliminates the nightmare of double bookings by syncing your availability instantly. Plus, it slashes your commission costs by connecting you directly to OTAs without those pesky middlemen taking a cut.
What really sets this plan apart? The pricing. At just ₹3499 monthly, it’s specifically designed for the Indian market – not another overpriced international solution that ignores local needs.
How it compares to other pricing options
| Feature | ₹3499 Plan | Typical Competitors |
|---|---|---|
| Price | ₹3499/month flat fee | ₹7000-15000/month or % of bookings |
| Contract | No lock-in | Annual commitments |
| Setup fee | None | ₹20,000-50,000 upfront |
| Support | India-based, 24/7 | Often overseas, limited hours |
Other channel managers might offer similar core features but hit you with percentage-based pricing that eats into your profits as you grow. Many competitors also require long-term contracts with hefty setup fees.
What’s included in the package
The plan comes loaded with everything you need:
- Connections to 200+ OTAs including MakeMyTrip, Booking.com, and Agoda
- Mobile app for on-the-go inventory management
- Automated pricing tools to maximize revenue
- Real-time analytics dashboard
- Unlimited bookings with no extra charges
- Free website booking engine
- 24/7 support from an India-based team
Who should consider this plan
This plan is perfect for independent hotels and guesthouses with 5-50 rooms. If you’re tired of updating multiple OTA extranets manually, this is your solution.
Small hotel owners who are tech-curious but not tech-experts will love the user-friendly interface. The plan especially makes sense for properties looking to increase their direct bookings while maintaining OTA presence.
If your current channel manager costs are unpredictable or you’re paying international rates that don’t match Indian market realities, switching to this fixed-price plan could transform your bottom line.
Cost-Effectiveness for Indian Hospitality Businesses
A. ROI calculation for small to medium hotels
Look at your monthly numbers. A ₹3499 investment might feel steep until you crunch the actual figures. For a 30-room property with an average 60% occupancy and ₹3000 nightly rate, just one additional booking per month covers your channel manager cost.
Here’s how the math works out:
| Channel Manager Cost | ₹3499/month |
| New Bookings Needed | 1.16 rooms/month |
| Average Booking Value | ₹3000/night |
| Monthly Revenue Increase | ₹5400+ |
| Net Gain | ₹1901+ |
That’s a 54% ROI every single month. And this calculation doesn’t even factor in repeat bookings, which become increasingly likely as your online visibility grows.
B. Comparing with traditional distribution costs
The old-school distribution methods are bleeding your profits dry. Travel agent commissions typically range from 15-25%, while OTA commissions hover around 15-30% in India.
With a channel manager:
| Distribution Method | Cost for ₹3000 Booking |
| Travel Agent Commission (20%) | ₹600 per booking |
| OTA Commission (25%) | ₹750 per booking |
| Channel Manager (per booking)* | ₹116 per booking |
*Based on 30 bookings/month
The difference is stark. You’re saving ₹634 per OTA booking when you factor in the per-booking cost of your channel manager.
C. Hidden savings beyond the subscription fee
Time is money, especially in hospitality. Before implementing a channel manager, hotels spend roughly 3-4 hours daily updating inventory across platforms. At minimum wage, that’s about ₹7500 monthly just on manual updates.
Other hidden savings include:
- Reduced double-booking penalties (typically ₹5000-10000 per incident)
- Lower customer acquisition costs (down by 22% on average)
- Staff productivity gains (estimated ₹8000+ monthly value)
- Fewer pricing errors that eat into margins
- Competitive rate intelligence worth ₹6000+ monthly
When you add these up, your actual monthly savings easily exceed ₹20,000 for even small properties.
Streamlining Distribution Channels
A. Centralizing OTA management
Gone are the days when you had to log into 10 different OTA dashboards just to update one room’s availability. At ₹3499 per month, our Channel Manager consolidates all your OTA accounts in one clean dashboard. Imagine saving 2-3 hours daily by making changes once and seeing them reflect everywhere. That’s exactly what hundreds of small hotels across India are experiencing right now.
B. Real-time inventory updates across platforms
When a guest books on MakeMyTrip, your inventory should instantly update on Booking.com, right? But without a proper channel manager, this rarely happens smoothly. Our system pushes updates within seconds – not hours or (gasp) manual refreshes. This real-time synchronization works across all major OTAs popular with Indian travelers, from Goibibo to Agoda.
C. Preventing overbookings and cancellations
Double bookings are a nightmare that cost both money and reputation. A single overbooking can lead to negative reviews that haunt your property for months. Our channel manager automatically adjusts availability across all platforms the moment a room is booked anywhere. This simple automation has helped our hotel partners reduce overbookings by 98% in their first month alone.
D. Maximizing visibility on booking platforms
Why limit yourself to just the big OTAs? Our system connects your property to 80+ booking channels including niche platforms that target specific traveler segments. More visibility equals more bookings – it’s simple math that translates directly to revenue.
E. Managing room rates efficiently
Price updates used to mean hours of tedious work. With our channel manager, you can implement dynamic pricing strategies with just a few clicks. Create rate plans based on seasons, occupancy levels, or competitor pricing. The system even allows for instant promotions when you need to fill rooms during unexpected low periods.
Boosting Direct Bookings and Revenue
Tools for driving website conversions
Ever noticed how OTAs like MakeMyTrip grab most of your bookings? That’s because they’ve mastered conversion optimization. Good news: the ₹3499 plan gives you similar tools for your own website.
The booking engine built into this plan isn’t just any widget – it’s specifically designed for Indian hotels. It includes:
- Mobile-friendly booking forms that load in seconds (critical since 78% of Indian travelers book via smartphones)
- Support for multiple Indian languages and payment options including UPI
- Instant confirmation messages via WhatsApp (a game-changer for Indian guests)
You’ll also get a website health report highlighting exactly what’s stopping guests from booking directly. No technical jargon – just clear fixes you can implement immediately.
Commission-free booking strategies
Every OTA booking costs you 15-25% in commissions. Do the math – that’s ₹1,500-2,500 gone from a ₹10,000 booking!
With the ₹3499 plan, you pay zero commission on direct bookings. Here’s how it helps you drive more of them:
- Custom discount codes you can share with returning guests
- Social media booking links that bypass OTAs completely
- Special rates for corporate clients that aren’t visible on OTAs
Small properties in places like Ooty and Rishikesh have seen direct bookings jump 40% within three months of implementation.
Upselling opportunities through the platform
The real profit isn’t just in room nights – it’s in everything else guests buy during their stay.
The platform lets you create and promote:
- Room upgrades (₹1000-2000 extra revenue per booking)
- Airport transfers (especially valuable for remote properties)
- Special dining packages for festivals like Diwali and Holi
- Local experiences that OTAs don’t offer
You control pricing and keep 100% of these add-on revenues. Most hotels recover their entire year’s subscription cost within 45 days through upsells alone.
Technology Adoption Made Simple
User-friendly interface for non-technical staff
Ever tried to teach your grandma how to use a TV remote with 50 buttons? That’s how most hotel software feels to your staff. But not this one. The ₹3499 plan comes with an interface so straightforward that even your most tech-resistant employees will master it in minutes.
The dashboard shows everything at a glance – bookings, occupancy rates, and revenue stats. Color-coded alerts make it impossible to miss important notifications. No more squinting at complex spreadsheets or navigating through endless menu options.
Mobile management capabilities
Run your entire property from your pocket. Seriously.
The mobile app gives you the same power as the desktop version, whether you’re at a family dinner or on vacation. Update room availability, confirm bookings, or check guest requests with a few taps. The app works smoothly on both Android and iOS devices – even on older phone models that your staff might be using.
Minimal training requirements
Most channel managers come with a steep learning curve. This one? Your team can be up and running in under 30 minutes.
The platform offers:
- Interactive tutorials that guide users through common tasks
- Simple video walkthroughs for visual learners
- 24/7 chat support for those inevitable questions
And the best part? You won’t need to hire an IT person just to train your staff.
Integration with existing hotel systems
The system plays nice with whatever you’re already using. Your PMS, booking engine, accounting software – they’ll all connect seamlessly with zero technical headaches.

Dynamic Hotel Website

This isn’t just convenient—it’s a revenue booster. When booking is hassle-free, fewer people abandon their reservations halfway. Plus, you get instant payment confirmations, making your cash flow management a breeze.
General SEO for Higher Search Visibility
Ever wondered why some hotels appear at the top of Google searches while others are buried on page 10? The difference is SEO, and this plan has you covered.
Your website comes optimized with:
- Location-based keywords that help nearby travelers find you
- Fast loading speeds that Google loves
- Mobile-friendly design that ranks higher in search results

A. Cost Savings with Free Add-Ons
The ₹3499 plan isn’t just affordable—it’s packed with value that would cost thousands more elsewhere. Think about it: you’re getting a channel manager, website, booking engine, and property management system all rolled into one monthly fee.
Most hoteliers end up paying separate vendors for each of these tools:

With this plan, those extra costs vanish. You’ll save roughly ₹7,500-22,000 every month compared to piecing together similar services.
The plan also eliminates those pesky booking commissions that eat into your profits. When guests book directly through your website, you keep 100% of the revenue instead of paying 15-30% to OTAs for each reservation.
