Peaqplus vs OTA Insight (Lighthouse)
integrated or standalone.

Market intelligence as a standalone product, or competitor intelligence integrated into your full BI suite. Two architectures, two fits.

OTA Insight (now Lighthouse) is a market-intelligence specialist — rate shopping, market position, parity, demand sensing. Peaqplus integrates competitor intelligence — both rate and reviews — into a full revenue intelligence platform that also covers BI, decisions, forecasting, and sales.

The short version

Who fits which.

OTA Insight (Lighthouse) is the right choice if you specifically need market-intelligence depth as a standalone product, value granular OTA + parity tracking that goes well beyond rate shopping, and already have your BI / pricing / decisions tooling sorted elsewhere.

Peaqplus is the right choice if you want competitor intelligence integrated into the same platform that handles your BI, your pricing, your decisions, and your forecasting. The competitor data lands inside the screens where you'd already be working — both rates and reviews.

Coexistence is possible but uncommon. Most hotels pay for one or the other. The choice depends on whether you want depth-on-one-axis or breadth-with-good-coverage.

Honest concessions

Three areas where OTA Insight (Lighthouse) is the better tool.

01
Market intelligence depth

OTA Insight has been the category leader in market intelligence for over a decade. The depth on competitor pricing across regions, multiple channels, room-type granularity, and historical scrape data goes well beyond what most hotels need but is unmatched if you operate at that depth.

02
Rate parity tracking

The parity component — monitoring that your rate is consistent across all channels and OTAs, flagging dispatch issues — is a specialized OTA Insight strength. Peaqplus's Competitor Rate Intelligence focuses on competitor rates, not parity violations on your own listings.

03
Cross-portfolio benchmarks

For multi-property groups or revenue service providers using a single market-intelligence vendor across many clients, OTA Insight's standardized methodology gives consistent benchmarks. Peaqplus's competitor intelligence is per-customer-configured.

Defensible claims

Three areas where Peaqplus is the better tool.

01
Integration with the rest of your work

OTA Insight is a destination — you log in to a separate tool to check competitor rates. Peaqplus's competitor data is integrated: a "Competitor avg." column in the pricing calendar, daily competitor moves in your Daily Briefing email, Pulse Chat answers that include competitor context, Ping alerts when your relative position drifts.

02
Full revenue intelligence platform

Market intelligence is one slice of the revenue picture. Pickup tracking, forecasting, decision audit, sales pipeline, daily briefings, Pulse AI — all in the same platform. If you'd otherwise pay for OTA Insight + a BI tool + a forecasting tool + a meeting tool, Peaqplus handles all four with the competitor layer included.

03
Cost-per-question

OTA Insight's pricing reflects market-intelligence specialist positioning. Peaqplus's Competitor Rate Intelligence add-on is €59/month (5 competitors · 120 days) on top of BI Core (from €109/month) — you get integrated competitor intelligence as part of a full platform for less than most market-intelligence specialists charge for just market intelligence.

The practical question

For most hotels, the choice is one or the other.

Unlike the IDeaS or D-Edge cases (where coexistence is the most common pattern), OTA Insight and Peaqplus often substitute for each other. The decision usually hinges on whether you want depth on competitor intelligence as a specialist tool (OTA Insight) or good-enough competitor intelligence integrated into a full revenue platform (Peaqplus).

COMMON
Migration to Peaqplus
Hotels paying for market-intelligence depth they don't fully use switch to Peaqplus for integrated competitor intelligence (rate + reviews) as part of a full platform.
LESS COMMON
Coexistence
Large multi-property groups or revenue service providers who specifically need OTA Insight's standardized cross-portfolio methodology maintain both. The two tools don't conflict setup-side.

In our 45–60 minute walkthrough (length depends on how deep you want to go), we run Peaqplus on our live demo environment — a simulated property with data that moves day to day — and walk through the integrated competitor intelligence: competitor rates in the pricing calendar, in Pulse Chat answers, in the Daily Briefing email, in Ping alerts. If you currently use OTA Insight, you'll see a different architecture: integrated, not standalone.

No setup fee. Bring your current setup if you want a side-by-side.
