What is the main difference between Zitlin and eZee?

Scale of company and how you buy. eZee is part of a large group with a broad product family, a long track record and a wide integration catalogue; pricing is module-by-module and comes from a sales quote rather than a public rate card. Zitlin is a smaller, single-product company with a free forever plan and a published price estimator, and it bundles the restaurant POS into the base product.

Is Zitlin cheaper than eZee Absolute?

Often, for a small or mid-size independent — but eZee does not publish a rate card, so the only honest answer is to get a quote for the modules you actually need and compare it with Zitlin's published estimator. Watch the module list on both sides: totals diverge more from what is switched on than from the headline number.

When is eZee the better choice?

When you want the breadth and the safety of a large vendor — GDS, a long integration catalogue, a bigger support organisation, and a product family that extends well beyond a single PMS. If you are buying for a group with a formal procurement process, that track record has real value and it is reasonable to weigh it.

Does Zitlin have a channel manager like eZee?

Yes — real-time two-way sync by direct API across 60+ OTAs, certified at Airbnb's Preferred+ partner tier. It is a paid add-on on top of Zitlin Pro rather than part of the base price, which is worth knowing when you compare totals. eZee also sells its channel manager as its own product.

Can I migrate from eZee to Zitlin?

Data migration is included in Zitlin Pro at no extra cost, together with staff training and zero setup fee. Export your rooms, rate plans and forward bookings, run both systems side by side for a few days, and cut over at a month boundary.

eZee Absolute Alternative (Yanolja Cloud)

eZee is now Yanolja Cloud Solution. Here is how the two products differ structurally — including where eZee is the better answer.

How to read this. We have not quoted eZee's prices. eZee does not publish a rate card — pricing comes from a request form and depends on which modules you enable — and the third-party listing sites that claim to know contradict one another badly. So this compares structure: how each product is packaged and bought. Get a current quote and set it beside Zitlin's published estimator.

Buying is the real difference

eZee's strength is breadth. It is a family of products — PMS, POS, booking engine, channel manager — from a large vendor with a long history in exactly the markets Zitlin serves. You assemble what you need, module by module, and you get a quote.

That is also the friction. The total depends entirely on which modules are switched on, so two properties of the same size can pay very different amounts, and you cannot find out what yours will be without a conversation. Zitlin publishes a number, bundles the restaurant into the base product, and keeps one list of add-ons — channel manager, OTA sync, audit log, API access, white-label domain — quoted separately. Fewer moving parts to price, and fewer to be surprised by.

Where eZee is the better choice

You need GDS. Zitlin has no GDS distribution at all.
You want a large vendor behind you. A bigger support organisation, a longer track record and a corporate parent are real advantages in a formal procurement, and it is fair to weigh them against a smaller company.
You need a wide integration catalogue. eZee's list of third-party interfaces is longer than Zitlin's. If a specific lock, PABX, accounting package or gateway is a hard requirement, check Zitlin has it before moving.
You want products beyond the PMS from one vendor. eZee's family extends further than Zitlin's single product does.

Where Zitlin is the better choice

You want to evaluate without a salesperson. Free forever plan, published estimator, 60 days of Pro on every new account, no card.
Your property serves food. The restaurant POS is not a separate product to license — it is in the base plan, and a dinner posts to the guest's folio so rooms and meals settle on one invoice.
Local payment rails matter. UPI, DuitNow, PromptPay, QRIS, VietQR, SGQR, QR Ph and SEPA at 0% commission, straight into your own bank account with no gateway taking a cut.
You want accountability features without an enterprise tier. Staff PIN sign-in on shared terminals, seven roles, per-shift cash drawers and a night audit are part of Pro rather than a premium upgrade — see why the till never matches at shift change.

What switching actually involves

Migration, training and setup are included in Zitlin Pro. Run the two systems in parallel for a few days, cut over at a month boundary so reporting has a clean break, and keep your eZee exports until you are certain. Nothing about this is unique to eZee — it is just the order that avoids a bad fortnight.
