Frequently Asked Questions

What is the main difference between Stay and Cloudbeds?

Stay is built in Italy with Italian statutory reporting — Alloggiati Web, ISTAT ROSS 1000, tourist tax, FatturaPA electronic invoicing — as part of the product rather than as third-party add-ons. For a property operating in Italy this removes a set of separate tools and integrations. For properties outside Italy that advantage does not apply, and Cloudbeds may suit you better.

Can I migrate my data from Cloudbeds to Stay?

Migration of guest records, reservations and rate configuration is handled as part of onboarding. What can be transferred depends on the export Cloudbeds makes available, so we check your specific export before committing to a plan.

Is this comparison impartial?

No — it is written by Overcore, the vendor of Stay, and you should read it as such. We aim to state facts you can verify rather than claims you cannot, but for an independent view consult review sites where customers of both products have written, and ask each vendor for references.
