Staycore Pricing: Plans for Nigerian Hospitality

Staycore pricing is built around how hospitality businesses actually operate: by rooms for hotels, by units for shortlets, and by outlets or table load for food and beverage venues.

Key takeaways

  • Staycore pricing is structured by vertical, not by a generic software menu.
  • Hotels, shortlets, and F&B venues each have a different operational load and therefore different pricing logic.
  • The live pricing page should be used as the source of truth for current rates.
  • The real value in pricing is how much manual work and leakage the system removes.

How to read Staycore pricing correctly

The most common mistake buyers make with hospitality software pricing is comparing numbers before comparing operational fit. Staycore does not price the same way a generic SaaS product might, because the work it supports is not generic. Rooms, units, outlets, staff workflows, and distribution logic all create different levels of operational load.

That is why the pricing page groups plans by vertical. It is a better reflection of how hospitality businesses actually run. The key question is not “What is the cheapest tier?” It is “What tier gives the business the right amount of control without paying for unnecessary complexity?”

Hotel plans: Essential, Growth, and Enterprise

Hotel pricing is anchored around room count and operational complexity. The current structure is designed to scale from smaller properties to larger operations without forcing the business to jump straight into enterprise overhead.

PlanMonthlyYearly equivalentSetupBest fit
Essential₦40,000Discounted yearly rate₦75,000 one-timeSmaller hotels that need a strong core PMS and booking flow
Growth₦90,000Discounted yearly rateSee live pricing pageGrowing hotels that need deeper distribution and operational automation
Enterprise₦180,000Discounted yearly rateSee live pricing pageLarger hotels and multi-property operations

For the current rates and module depth, always verify against the live pricing page. Pricing changes should be treated as operational, not just commercial, because they affect implementation scope and support expectations.

Shortlet and F&B pricing follows the same logic

Shortlets are priced by unit count because the operational strain is different from a hotel. Fewer rooms can still mean multiple calendars, cleanings, turnovers, and guest communication layers. That is why the shortlet plan structure is Starter, Pro, and Portfolio.

F&B venues are priced by outlet structure and table load. A single outlet with a manageable table count is not the same as a multi-outlet operation with a heavier service rhythm. The pricing model reflects that difference instead of pretending all venues behave the same way.

  • Shortlet Starter, Pro, and Portfolio map to different unit counts and automation depth.
  • F&B Starter, Growth, and Group map to outlet count and table volume.
  • Yearly billing brings a discount, which matters for operators with predictable cash flow.

What you are really paying for

The useful way to evaluate Staycore pricing is to look at what it replaces. If the system reduces manual reconciliation, trims leakage, speeds up check-in, aligns housekeeping, and improves the quality of reporting, the monthly fee should be judged against the cost of not having those controls.

That is why pricing should be reviewed with the demo and the product fit in mind. If you want to understand the operating value behind the numbers, read the profitability guide and then compare the workflows in the demo article.

For direct booking strategy and guest experience, pairing pricing with the booking engine guide gives the right commercial context.

How to choose the right plan

The best plan is the one that matches the business model today while leaving enough room to grow. A smaller hotel should not pay for a setup it cannot use yet, but it should also not choose a plan that forces an upgrade the moment the operation gets busier.

Decision pointGood signWeak sign
Small propertyCore PMS, booking flow, and housekeeping discipline are covered without unnecessary overheadYou are paying for enterprise depth you will not use
Growing propertyDistribution, automation, and reporting are strong enough to support scaleThe plan forces you to patch missing modules with other tools
Large or multi-property groupGovernance, access control, and support can handle more complexityThe product becomes a bottleneck as the business expands

How to think about implementation cost

The monthly fee is only one part of the purchase. A serious buying decision also includes setup time, training, implementation support, and the cost of getting the team comfortable with the new workflow.

  • Setup: Confirm whether the deployment covers property structure, roles, rates, and operational walkthroughs.
  • Training: Make sure the people who will use the system daily are actually trained before go-live.
  • Adoption: Budget time for the early weeks when the team is still moving from old habits to new control.

How to choose the right price band

A good pricing decision starts with the property stage. If the hotel is small and focused, the goal is to get enough control without paying for modules that sit idle. If the hotel is growing, the question is whether the plan can absorb more reporting, more access control, and more operational depth without a second migration later.

QuestionWhat a strong answer looks like
Do we need all modules now?Not always. Pay for the controls you will actually use in the next 12 months.
Will this scale?Yes, without forcing a disruptive system change when occupancy or portfolio size grows.
Is the price tied to a real workflow?Yes, not just to a feature checklist.

That is why the live pricing page should be read with the demo and the rollout conversation. The number alone is not the product; the operating fit is.

What pricing should communicate to the buyer

Good software pricing should do more than state a fee. It should help the buyer understand what kind of business the product is meant for, how the system scales, and where the implementation effort really sits. When pricing is transparent, the buyer can compare the real cost of control instead of comparing empty headline numbers.

SignalWhy it matters
Vertical-specific pricingIt mirrors the way hospitality businesses actually operate.
Clear upgrade pathThe buyer can plan growth without guessing the next move.
Visible setup costImplementation is part of the commercial reality, not a surprise later.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What are the current hotel plans?
Hotels are currently positioned around Essential, Growth, and Enterprise tiers, with pricing scaled by property size and operational depth.
What are the current shortlet plans?
Shortlets are currently structured around Starter, Pro, and Portfolio tiers for different unit counts and operational needs.
Do F&B venues have separate plans?
Yes. Restaurants, bars, cafes, and lounges are priced separately because outlet volume and table load are different from room-based operations.
Where should I confirm exact pricing?
Always confirm on the live pricing page because that is the source of truth for current rates and plan fit.
