Visito is built for independent hotels, not enterprise chains
HiJiffy's marquee clients are chains like Accor, Leonardo Hotels, and Pestana, and its packaging reflects that: per-property setup fees, tiered features, and a guided rollout.
Independent properties run lean. Owners and front-desk managers do not have the budget for a €319/month tier plus setup fees just to get WhatsApp and PMS data working. They need the messaging-to-booking flow to work, fast.
Visito ships with everything an independent property needs out of the box, PMS integration, WhatsApp, in-chat payments, on one plan. You don't need a team of experts to get started today.
HiJiffy's premium features are standard on Visito
HiJiffy is a serious guest communications hub with broad multilingual coverage and in-stay tools like digital check-in. But most independent hotels do not need a tiered enterprise package where WhatsApp and PMS integration only unlock at the top plan. They need an AI agent that answers guests naturally, converts direct bookings, collects payment, and works inside the messaging channels guests already use.
Visito is built around those functions, and designed for independent hotels. From assistants that redirect to agents that close the booking, from website chat to WhatsApp conversion, and from demo-led evaluation to a self-serve 7-day trial, Visito has the tools your hotel needs to succeed.
One plan beats tier gating
HiJiffy publishes their pricing details publicly. But read the tiers closely: the entry plan is website chat only, capped at 25 FAQ topics and 3 languages. WhatsApp, PMS integration, and campaigns live in the Premium tier at €319+ per month, plus a €599 setup fee.
Visito has transparent pricing and plans based on usage. Start a free trial immediately, without a demo, and pay monthly with no setup fees.
