COMPARE RMS VS NEWBOOK

Newbook Storable: Don't let the hidden costs catch you

Newbook, now part of Storable, is a property management system originally designed for holiday parks and campgrounds in the Australian market.

Both Newbook and RMS serve outdoor hospitality operators, but they take different approaches: RMS provides a single enterprise data model across all properties with no booking fees and free support included, while Newbook charges separately for support, cloud storage, and per-booking fees.

Here's a side-by-side look at where they overlap and where they differ
