Solo + 14-day trial

14-day free trial

Touch Stay presents itself as a digital guide platform for reducing guest questions. Its site highlights a 14-day free trial, no-download viewing, a link or QR code, customizable content, PMS integrations, AI, a dashboard and an upsell widget with Stripe.

Welkodia addresses the same guest-welcome need, but with a more direct proposition for hosts and property managers who want to sell services from the guide: Solo starts with a 14-day trial, then keeps QR access, multilingual content, the services store, order management, and performance tracking.

When is Welkodia a better Touch Stay alternative?

Touch Stay is worth evaluating when its broad PMS integrations, automated messaging, and guest contact management are the priority. Welkodia is the closer fit when you want to connect the guidebook, services store, order tracking, PDF receipts, and direct rebooking requests in one operational workflow.

Rebooking + PDF receipts

Guests can book their next stay directly from the guidebook. Each sale automatically generates a PDF receipt, with no action needed from you.

White label + PIN sections

Welkodia offers white labeling with a custom subdomain from the Pro plan. PIN-protected sections keep your codes and instructions confidential away from non-guests.

4 reasons to switch from Touch Stay to Welkodia

Direct rebooking from the guide

Welkodia lets a guest request a future stay from the guidebook with calendar checks, payment authorization, and owner approval. The reviewed Touch Stay sources instead describe contact collection for future direct offers.

Automated PDF receipts

Each article or service sale through the Welkodia store generates a PDF receipt automatically sent to the guest, with no action needed from you.

Import from your Airbnb listing

Welkodia automatically creates your guidebook in seconds from an Airbnb, Vrbo or Booking listing link. You save time from the very first step.

PIN applied to sensitive sections

Both tools offer PIN protection, but the reviewed sources show a different scope: Touch Stay protects guidebook access, while Welkodia can reserve the PIN for selected sensitive sections.

Our verdict

Touch Stay is a broad solution if you need a large ecosystem: AI, automated messaging, PMS integrations, upsells and video. It's an established player with many features.

Welkodia is the better choice if you want a tool focused on day-to-day operations: Kodia AI in the guide, direct rebooking, PDF receipts, white label, videos, Airbnb import, automatic translation, services store, PIN sections and logic designed for both owners and property managers.
