Aura vs Inn Style

Looking for an Inn Style alternative?

Aura is the flat-fee PMS that scales with your business — same low cost as Inn Style at the entry tier, plus mid-tier feature breadth, native owner statements, multi-property reporting.

From a single UK B&B to a multi-property group: Inn Style works for the smallest case but caps out fast. Aura keeps the entry-level pricing and adds the features you'd otherwise have to upgrade to a more expensive PMS to get.

Balanced view

What Inn Style does well — and where Aura wins

Inn Style is genuinely good at

UK B&B niche specialist

Designed specifically for small UK accommodation providers.

Approachable pricing

Lower entry point than US/global competitors.

Where Aura is materially better

Feature parity with mid-tier PMSes

Same capability surface as larger products at a similar price to Inn Style.

UK VAT handling

Tax stacking handles UK 20% VAT, reduced-rate accommodation VAT, and zero-rated lines correctly.

Modern UI

Sub-second loads, mobile-responsive throughout.

Where Inn Style commonly frustrates operators

Limited feature scope

Beyond core reservation and booking-engine functionality, advanced reporting and integrations are thin.

No condo-hotel workflow

Owner-statement workflow isn't part of the product.

Built into every Aura plan

Owner statements, automated.

Per-unit revenue attribution. Monthly statement generation. OTA commission deducted automatically, management fee applied, PDF + CSV per owner — emailed in one click.

The most-asked-for capability Inn Style doesn't have, and the reason multi-property operators switch fastest.
