Aria vs Duve: A Focused Concierge at a Flat Price vs a Full Guest Suite

Duve and Aria both publish their prices, which already puts them ahead of most of this market. They are not the same product: Duve sells a broad guest-experience suite, Aria sells one thing — a website concierge that answers from your hotel's own data and refuses to answer when it cannot back the answer with a source.

Side-by-side comparison

Competitor pricing verified August 2026: Duve is published at roughly $120–$200/month plus around €600 onboarding. Ranges are the vendor's own published figures; a final quote depends on property size and modules. Aria is $99/month plus a one-time $149 setup.

One thing we will not claim: Aria answers guest questions; it is not a channel manager, and FluxPMS does not have a two-way one. FluxPMS imports OTA calendars over iCal, which is one-way — a Booking.com or Airbnb reservation blocks that room so it cannot be sold twice, but rates are still set in each OTA extranet and nothing is pushed back automatically.

Who Duve is for

Choose Duve if you want the whole guest journey productised in one vendor — a branded guest app, online check-in flows and structured upsell campaigns — and the budget for a suite plus its onboarding project. That is a genuinely different purchase from a chatbot, and for a property that wants all of it in one place, Duve is the broader product.

Why hotels pick Aria

• The price is the whole price: $99/month, flat, plus $149 once. Nothing scales with your room count.
• Setup is done for you in about 48 hours, for $149 — not a €600 onboarding project.
• Aria answers from your own data and refuses when it has no source, rather than inventing a policy or a rate.
• It works on your existing website regardless of which PMS you run.
• If you later want the PMS too, the whole of FluxPMS with Aria included is $79/month — less than Aria alone.
