OneHorizyn and STAAH, side by side
They do different jobs, and a hotel can use both. STAAH sends your rates and rooms out: STAAH Max, its channel manager, keeps them up to date on over 2,000 booking sites and channels, beside a booking engine, a revenue system and review software. OneHorizyn reads what the sites then show guests, beside your competitors, Google and Maps, reviews and AI assistants, and connects to nothing.
STAAH's own pages read on , and again every quarter.
