Where they differ
Mews is a big platform, with a marketplace of more than 1,000 integrations and parts of its suite powered by partners. We took a different route and built housekeeping, guest messaging and finance into the same platform as the PMS. A booking, its messages, its clean and its money are one record.
We agree with Mews on one thing: people should stay in control of the AI. In Vector Guest, each kind of action needs someone to approve it until your team decides otherwise, and every decision is kept.

Which fits which property
If you're a group that wants a big marketplace of connected products and you're happy running several of them, Mews is built for that. If you're an independent hotel, an aparthotel or a serviced apartment operator who'd rather have it all in one place, with AI agents across the lot, that's what we built Vector Guest for.
