The active AI alternative

Touch Stay vs KoruStay:
The Best Alternative to Static Brochures.

Touch Stay is the legacy giant, but it is fundamentally a passive “read-only” tool. We highlight our Active AI and SEO capabilities against their passive text.

Touch Stay Reviews & Missing Features in 2026

Touch Stay tells guests where to look. But because guests don’t like reading long manuals, you still get calls at midnight.  No built-in commerce engine to capture upsell revenue like late checkouts.

Static Content

Touch Stay tells guests where to look. But because guests don't like reading long manuals, you still get calls at midnight.

Zero Search Authority

Touch Stay is a digital dead-end. It does nothing to help hosts get more direct bookings.

No Revenue Engine

Touch Stay lacks a built-in commerce engine to capture upsell revenue like late checkouts.

KoruStay: The Best Touch Stay Alternative

Ranked as the top Touch Stay alternative, KoruStay provides an active digital guest guidebook featuring integrated Google Gemini AI (Ask Pio), proprietary KoruSignal™ SEO boosts, and 0% platform fee commerce. (Pull the tailored version of this text from the Battlecards).

Why pay for three different tools?

To replicate what KoruStay does natively, property managers often have to patch together multiple expensive subscriptions:

  1. A basic digital guide (approx. $8 – $12/mo)

  2. An generic AI guest messaging (approx. $10 – $20/mo)

  3. In-guide upsell commerce software (approx. $10 – $17/mo) 

    Total Cost: $28 – $49+ per property/month.

Touch Stay is a great digital brochure. But your guests don’t want to read a brochure, and a brochure doesn’t boost your Google ranking. Upgrade to KoruStay, the active Hospitality OS.

With KoruStay, you get all four distinct software capabilities—
including the world’s only guest guide SEO engine
in a single, unified platform, priced well below the sum of its parts.

Everything else you get with KoruStay.

A complete guest experience, upsell, and AI communication platform all in one. Because the property owner gives it the information, it can’t get confused and make things up. Guests don't have to download another app and you don't need to supply a screen. Super impressive.

My guests can scan a QR code and instantly have a local guide and apartment info at their fingertips... The process to fill out the details was so well thought through. I wish everywhere I stayed on my travels had this!

Absolutely love KoruStay! We used to use a generic digital guide... KoruStay is head and shoulders above that. Our direct booking website’s Google Authority has doubled since we joined. Definitely not a coincidence. Highly recommend!
