Majordia vs. Hostfully and Duve: A Guest Guide + Stripe Alternative

Are you comparing Hostfully, Duve, and a lighter solution for the guest guide with Stripe payment? These players are often cited in the PMS and guest experience ecosystems. Majordia positions itself differently: QR guide + shop + AI + OTA, designed for French hosts and concierge services.

Condensed answers in the Comparison FAQ. This guide helps you decide based on your current stack.

Hostfully and Duve: What They Do Well

Hostfully is known for guidebooks linked to a PMS, multi-channel distribution, and a mature ecosystem (especially US / international).

Duve (and similar solutions) focuses on the digital guest journey: pre-arrival, check-in, upsells, sometimes as a complement to a PMS.

Both can cover part of the "guide + extras" needs. The question is not "which is better in absolute terms" but "which minimizes my tools and time for my portfolio in France?"

When Majordia is a Relevant Alternative

You want a standalone guide, not to replace the entire PMS

Majordia does not sell itself as a full PMS. If you already have Guesty, Lodgify, or Smoobu for bookings, Majordia adds the guest layer (guide, payments, AI) without a heavy migration. See Guesty + Majordia guide.

You target additional sales from the QR

Breakfast, late checkout, cleaning: the click → payment → bank transfer journey is native. Figures guide: upsells and revenue.

You manage 5 to 50+ properties in a concierge service

A single dashboard, one guide per property, OTA and PMS connections on Pro. Read also multi-property management and industrializing a concierge service.

Your team works in French

Support, FAQ, onboarding video call, and guest register resources in FR — an operational advantage if your ops are not bilingual.

When to Stay on Hostfully or Duve

• You are already deployed on their guidebook and satisfied.
• Your PMS contract already includes upsells + digital check-in at the negotiated price.
• Your portfolio is mostly outside Europe with specific US needs.

Migration only makes sense if you are blocked by a concrete lack (payment, AI, inbox, cost per property).
