Peaqplus vs Lighthouse —
market breadth or a decision workflow?

Lighthouse brings market intelligence, benchmarking, PMS performance data and AI-assisted pricing into a broad commercial portfolio. Peaqplus connects PMS reporting, decisions, meetings and optional execution modules for independent hotels — with published module boundaries and pricing.

Lighthouse, formerly OTA Insight, now spans far more than rate shopping. This comparison uses publicly documented capabilities, not assumptions about either vendor. Lighthouse scope varies by product and proposal; Peaqplus scope varies by the BI Core plan, selected add-ons and supported data connections. Verify the exact workflow, integrations and commercial terms against your own setup.

The short version

Who fits which.

Live rate shopping, parity, forward-looking market demand, hotel and short-term-rental data, and dynamic competitive benchmarking sit outside the standard Peaqplus scope. Lighthouse documents these across its Pricing, Performance, Distribution and Pricing Optimization products.

Peaqplus is built for a traceable working rhythm from PMS figures through Discussion and Decisions to Revenue Meeting. BI Core is the foundation; Competitor Rate & Review Intelligence, Pricing, Ping, Pulse AI, Sales and Discovery are added only for the jobs you need.

Running both can make sense, but it is not automatically the best answer. BI, benchmarking, competitor intelligence and pricing can overlap. Before buying, assign one owner and one source for each signal, price action and decision record.

Why Peaqplus

Three areas where Peaqplus adds more value.

01
A named path from signal to follow-up

Discussion, Decisions and Revenue Meeting are explicit BI Core workflows. The team can preserve what it saw, what it decided, who owns the next step and what changed later without treating later movement as proof of causation.

02
Published module and price boundaries

BI Core starts at €109/month with its own one-time €135 setup. Competitor Rate & Review Intelligence is €59/month for 5 competitors and 120 days, with a separate €135 setup. Prices are net; Pricing, Ping, Pulse AI, Sales and Discovery keep their own visible boundaries.

03
Built for an independent hotel operating rhythm

Peaqplus links PMS reporting, budget, forecast, decision records and meetings, then adds pricing, alerts, competitor context, AI or group-sales workflow only where the hotel needs them.

The practical decision

Map the overlap before you run both.

The two platforms can overlap in PMS BI, benchmarking, competitor intelligence and pricing. A useful side-by-side starts with jobs, not feature counts: where does the market signal come from, where is a price approved and sent, and where is the decision recorded and reviewed?

Keep Lighthouse when its market-data depth remains valuable; add Peaqplus only if the Discussion → Decision → Revenue Meeting workflow earns a clear role. Exact integrations, refresh timing and data hand-offs must be verified for your PMS, channel manager and selected Lighthouse products.

COMPLEMENT
Keep Lighthouse, add Peaqplus selectively
Use Lighthouse for the market signals you already rely on. Use Peaqplus for a defined PMS-based decision or meeting workflow, and avoid buying duplicate modules without an owner.
CONSOLIDATE
Use Peaqplus as the working platform
Choose this path when Peaqplus covers the PMS reporting and competitor scope you need, and broader Lighthouse market or parity capabilities are not part of the requirement.
Peaqplus scope

When Peaqplus is not the whole market-intelligence stack.

01
External market-data depth comes first

Peaqplus monitors a selected compset across rates, reviews and offers. It does not claim the same breadth as a platform bought primarily for forward-looking demand, short-term-rental market data or dynamic compsets; treat those as separate requirements.

02
Rate-parity operations are mandatory

Peaqplus can monitor competitor rates, but it is not a parity-management system for detecting, evidencing and resolving disparities across distribution channels. That workflow needs its own product fit check.

03
Enterprise portfolio intelligence is the main job

Peaqplus supports multi-property management and custom Enterprise scope, but broad portfolio dashboards combining PMS data, competitive intelligence, dynamic compsets and AI summaries need a separate fit check.

Buyer questions

Clarify these before you shortlist either platform.

Is Lighthouse the same company as OTA Insight?

Yes. OTA Insight is the former name; the current Lighthouse platform spans Pricing, Performance, Distribution and Pricing Optimization. This page uses Lighthouse first while retaining OTA Insight for recognition and search intent.

Is Peaqplus a Lighthouse alternative?

It can be when the hotel needs PMS-based BI, competitor monitoring and an explicit decision and meeting workflow rather than Lighthouse’s broader market, parity and short-term-rental data. Compare the specific Lighthouse products and Peaqplus modules, not the brand names alone.

Can Lighthouse and Peaqplus run together?

Yes, but overlap is possible in PMS BI, benchmarking, competitor intelligence and pricing. Give each signal, rate action and decision record one source and owner, then verify integrations, refresh timing and hand-offs for the selected products.

Does Lighthouse analyse a hotel’s own PMS data?

Yes. Lighthouse Performance publicly documents PMS-based performance, pickup, pace, ancillary revenue, budgeting, forecasting, competitive benchmarking and portfolio views. It should not be evaluated as only a rate shopper.

Which Peaqplus costs should be compared?

BI Core starts at €109 per hotel per month for up to 49 rooms plus a one-time €135 BI setup fee. Competitor Rate & Review Intelligence is €59 per month with its own €135 setup; Pricing, Ping, Pulse AI, Sales and Discovery keep separate boundaries.

Signal → Decision → Action → Outcome

Bring one recurring revenue decision and your current Lighthouse scope.

In a 45–60 minute walkthrough, we use a simulated hotel to follow one signal through BI Core, Discussion, Decisions and Revenue Meeting. Then we mark which optional modules the workflow actually needs and compare that boundary with the Lighthouse products you already use or are evaluating. No PMS access is required.
