Majordia vs. StyQR: Digital Guest Guide Comparison (2026)

Are you hesitating between StyQR and Majordia for your digital guest guide? Both solutions are French, accessible by QR code and link, and serve to group practical info for your travelers.

The difference isn't about "having a guide or not" — it's about what the tool does daily: simply inform, or also save time, sell extras, and manage multiple booking platforms.

This comparison is for Airbnb hosts, concierge services, cottages, and furnished tourist rentals in France. StyQR remains a reference for a well-crafted guide; Majordia goes further with the online shop, AI, and a host dashboard.

What StyQR and Majordia Have in Common

Before comparing the differences, here is what both offer right away for a short-term rental:

  • Access without an app: link, QR code, consultation on mobile, tablet, or computer
  • Information sections: Wi-Fi, entry code, house rules, useful contacts, local recommendations
  • Instant updates: no more need to reprint with each code or instruction change
  • Personalization: logo, colors, visual identity per property or per room
  • Multilingual: StyQR translates into 14 languages; Majordia displays the guide in 5 languages (French, English, German, Spanish, Italian) with automatic translation on save
  • Self-check-in: the traveler consults info before and during the stay, without mandatory physical welcome
  • Digital inventory: entry and exit journey with photos and validation

If your only need is "replace the paper binder with a clean page," both may suffice. The question becomes interesting as soon as you want to sell extra services, answer the same questions less, or manage multiple properties from one place.

StyQR: Strengths and Limits of an Information-Centered Guide

StyQR positions itself as a pure digital guest guide — the digital equivalent of the paper binder in the apartment.

What StyQR Does Very Well

StyQR is one of the most visible players in France for the digital welcome guide. Its idea is simple: transform the paper guide into a QR code, with quick setup and responsive French support according to many field reports.

Verifiable strengths:

  • 12 customizable modules: Wi-Fi, entry code, useful numbers, arrival and departure information, around me, guestbook, welcome note, inventory…
  • Automatic translation into 14 languages (English, Spanish, German, Arabic, Chinese, etc.) with an included character quota
  • Check-in / Check-out with electronic validation: useful for keeping a digital trace of arrivals and departures
  • Seasonal plans without automatic renewal (1, 2, or 3 months) — relevant for a cottage open a few months a year
  • Accessible annual rate: €49 excl. VAT per guide for individuals and concierge services
  • Usage statistics to know which contents are consulted

For a host who only wants to broadcast information and reduce "what's the Wi-Fi?" messages, StyQR fulfills the contract well.

Where StyQR Stops

StyQR does not aim to manage your entire rental activity:

  • No integrated shop to sell a late checkout, a breakfast basket, or extra cleaning with card payment
  • No AI assistant fed with guide content to answer at 2 AM
  • No centralized messaging to group Airbnb, Booking, and Vrbo
  • No connection to rental management software to import bookings and travelers
  • No multi-property dashboard oriented towards revenue and automation

This is not a flaw: it's a product choice. But if you are looking to make money from the guide or grow a concierge service, you will need to add other tools alongside StyQR.

Majordia Also Covers the Essentials — and Goes Further

Before talking about the shop and AI, let's remember that Majordia is not limited to paid functions. The base includes what you expect from a StyQR — Wi-Fi, rules, inventory, multilingual — plus the host dashboard and extra sales.

Multilingual: The Guide Speaks the Traveler's Language

Majordia displays the guide in five languages: French, English, German, Spanish, and Italian. The traveler chooses their language at the top of the page; the interface and AI Majordomo adapt immediately — practical for an international clientele on Airbnb or Booking.

On the host side, you mostly write in French: with each save, the content is automatically translated into the five languages. StyQR goes further on the number of languages (14 including Arabic, Chinese, Japanese…); Majordia covers those representing the majority of travelers in France and Europe.

Entry and Exit Inventory

Majordia's Inventory tile covers the same need as the StyQR module — designed for the tenant change between two stays:

  • Entry: offered upon arrival, as long as the traveler hasn't sent it
  • Exit: triggered on the day of departure, once the entry inventory is completed (if activated)
  • Configurable photos: you define mandatory rooms (living room, kitchen, bathroom…)
  • Digital validation: the traveler sends their inventory from the guide; you receive the photos in your dashboard and a notification
  • Stay dates: the correct form is displayed at the right time according to the booking

Result: a clear trace of arrivals and departures, useful in case of a dispute over a deposit. The tile is available on paid plans (Individual / Pro), like the shop and AI Majordomo.

Majordia: Beyond the Guide, a Host Dashboard

Before, During, and After the Stay

Before arrival, Majordia sends a short link per property. The traveler finds codes, Wi-Fi, and rules without searching through their Airbnb, Booking, or Vrbo messages. The QR plate at the entrance completes the link — practical when the SMS is lost or when the traveler arrives late at night.

During the stay, the difference is quickly seen:

  • AI Majordomo answers recurring questions (Wi-Fi, trash, parking, hours) based on the guide content — 24/7, without waiting for you to wake up
  • The integrated shop allows buying an extra by card: late checkout, welcome basket, equipment rental, mid-stay cleaning. No more "Can you transfer on PayPal?" exchanges. See our upsells and revenue guide.

After departure, the guide remains connected to your dashboard: consultation stats, ancillary revenue, team access for concierge services and co-hosts.

Less Daily Load

Reducing time spent per stay — that's often the real gain of a digital guide, beyond the subscription price.

On paid plans, AI Majordomo aims to handle 40 to 60% of simple questions according to field reports — not to manage a complex dispute, but to let you sleep when the answer is already in the guide.

Monetization: The Criterion that Tips the Balance

Many hosts adopt a digital guide for fewer messages. A significant portion also chooses it to increase the average basket per stay — breakfast, cleaning, early arrival — without going back through the platforms' commission.

Majordia integrates Stripe natively. 2% commission on additional sales through the guide (excluding subscription). A few dozen euros of extras per month often cover an Individual plan.

StyQR at €49 excl. VAT/year may seem cheaper on paper. But if you add an external payment tool, separate messaging, and the time spent manually answering the same questions, the total cost quickly gets closer — without the extra revenue integrated into Majordia.

In summary: guide subscription + extra tools + host time. A "cheaper" guide that doesn't collect extras can end up costing more.

Pricing: How to Read the Two Models

StyQR (Indicative, see styqr.fr)

  • €49 excl. VAT/year per guide (individuals, concierge services, cottages)
  • Seasonal plans: €9.90 excl. VAT (1 month), €14.90 excl. VAT (2 months), €19.90 excl. VAT (3 months) — without automatic renewal
  • Hotels: €15 excl. VAT per room per year (sliding scale from 20 rooms)
  • Campgrounds: from €2 excl. VAT per pitch per year
  • Trial: 14 days free, no credit card

StyQR bills per guide (or per room / pitch). Each property = one subscription. Info features are included regardless of the subscription type.

Majordia (Indicative, see rates)

  • Lite Plan: €0, 1 property, 6 essential tiles — ideal for testing without a card
  • Individual Plan: up to 4 properties, all tiles (36), AI Majordomo, platform messaging, Stripe sales
  • Pro Plan: unlimited multi-property, connection to 9 management softwares, extended team
  • Trial: 1 month on paid plans; instant digital setup
  • Commission: 2% on guide extras

Majordia bills per property with a functional tier. The subscription may appear higher than €49 excl. VAT/year, but it replaces several tools (guide + shop + AI + messaging) instead of stacking them.

Use Case: Which Solution for Which Profile?

Solo Host, 1 Property, Minimal Budget, Info Need Only

StyQR or Majordia Lite are suitable for a first furnished rental or an Airbnb studio. StyQR may suffice if you target travelers outside Europe (Arabic, Chinese, Japanese…) thanks to its 14 languages. Majordia Lite wins if you want to test a multilingual guide (5 languages) for free, then add extra sales and AI without changing tools.

Active Host on Airbnb + Booking, Who Wants to Sleep at Night

Majordia: AI Majordomo + centralized messaging + unified guide. StyQR reduces questions if the guide is well-filled, but doesn't answer alone at 3 AM and doesn't group your bookings.

Concierge Service (5 to 30 Properties)

Prioritize multi-property, team rights, booking import, and revenue tracking. Majordia Pro + connection to OTA platforms + management softwares targets this profile. With StyQR, you manage one guide per property without extra sales or AI — viable if you already have other tools in place (Guesty, Lodgify…).

Seasonal Cottage (Open 3 Months / Year)

The StyQR seasonal plan (1 to 3 months without renewal) can be economical. Majordia remains relevant if you sell extras (local breakfast, partner activities) during the high season — additional sales can fund the subscription.

Independent Hotel, Apart-hotel, or Campground

Both work for broadcasting Wi-Fi info, services, and local guide. Compare the extra payment journey (spa, activities, late checkout) and multilingual on a test stay. StyQR offers specific hotel/campground grids (€15 excl. VAT/room/year); Majordia applies the same rates regardless of the accommodation type.

You Are Already on StyQR and Satisfied

No reason to change for the sake of change. Evaluate a migration only if you are blocked by: extra payment, nocturnal messages, centralized messaging, or multi-property cost + extra tools.

Honest Limits of Majordia

Majordia is not a full rental management software: you keep your main booking tool if needed. AI and platform messaging are on paid plans — like any advanced function. The guest register is an organizational aid, not a legal substitute (see register guide).

On the number of languages (14 at StyQR vs. 5 at Majordia), StyQR remains broader for very international clienteles outside Europe. Majordia compensates with automatic translation, a 24/7 multilingual AI, integrated photo inventory, and extra sales + daily management.

How to Test Both Solutions on a Real Stay

The best method is to compare both guides on the same content (Wi-Fi, rules, access) during three consecutive stays. Measure:

  • the number of messages received (day and night)
  • the update time of info (new entry code, pool hours)
  • the extra revenue generated (or missed)
  • the most consulted sections

The right tool is the one your team keeps up to date after the first month of enthusiasm, not the one that impresses during the initial demo.

FAQ

For a welcome book that goes beyond basic information, Majordia is the most complete alternative: same foundation (QR, multilingual, condition report) + integrated Stripe store, 24/7 Majord'IA AI, unified inbox and multi-property management.

Conclusion

StyQR and Majordia meet the same basic need: a professional digital guest guide accessible by QR, multilingual, with inventory and complete information. StyQR excels for an affordable info guide with 14 languages — ideal if you are strictly looking for nothing other than a well-translated guide.

Majordia covers the same base (translation, inventory, Wi-Fi, rules, local guide, guestbook) and goes further as soon as you want to sell services in the guide, answer travelers 24/7 with AI Majordomo, centralize Airbnb / Booking / Vrbo, and pilot a concierge service from a French dashboard — without stacking five subscriptions.

If you hesitate, test both on a real stay with the same Wi-Fi/rules content, then measure messages, update time, and ancillary revenue. For most active hosts in France who want less daily load and more revenue per stay, Majordia today offers the most complete scope compared to StyQR.
