A StayTap alternative with the basics included
StayTap has a free plan, which is genuinely useful if you want a published book for one property at no cost. The trade is where the limits fall. The free plan covers one property in one language, and its analytics and your own logo and colors are on the paid plans, which start at €6.90 a month for up to five properties. So the things a host tends to want first, seeing whether guests actually open the book and making it look like theirs, are the things behind the paywall.
FreshLinen includes those at one flat price. Analytics are included and roll up into a weekly digest, your brand accent is part of every book, and every page works offline for guests. Building is free; publishing is $49.99 a year for your whole account.

Where StayTap is ahead
StayTap will put a book for one property in front of guests for free, and FreshLinen will not: FreshLinen is free to build but $49.99 a year to publish. If a truly free published book is what you need, and the free limits do not bother you, StayTap gives you that. FreshLinen is for the host who would rather pay a flat price once and have the analytics, the branding, and offline all included.
