The Real Question
This comparison isn't really "Revinate vs InnDojo." It's about what percentage of your revenue comes from events.
If events are 0-10% of revenue
Revinate is probably the right choice. Your primary challenge is driving direct room bookings and reducing OTA dependency. Revinate does this well.
If events are 20%+ of revenue
You need more than Revinate can offer. Event inquiries need a sales pipeline, automated follow-up, and a system that tracks deals from first contact to signed contract. That's InnDojo's sweet spot.
If events are 40%+ of revenue
InnDojo is the clear choice. At this level, your event pipeline IS your revenue engine. Managing it through email inboxes and spreadsheets is leaving money on the table every day.
The Bottom Line
Revinate and InnDojo serve different needs. Revinate is the best-in-class tool for hotel email marketing and guest data. InnDojo is the best-in-class tool for hotels where event revenue matters.
Some properties might even use both — Revinate for room marketing, InnDojo for event sales and reputation management. But if you have to choose one, ask yourself: where is the bigger revenue opportunity? Rooms or events?
For most boutique hotels with event space, the answer is events. And that's where InnDojo delivers.
