The best traveler registration apps in 2026

The best known are Chekin, Partee, Check-in Scan, Checkin Vacacional and Autoregistro. They differ mostly in price and billing model: Autoregistro is the cheapest (€1/month per property, all included, no minimums); iButlers and Partee are around €1.50–2; Chekin offers more extras (deposits, upselling) but is the most expensive for small hosts due to its 3-property minimum. If you don't mind manual work, the Ministry's official portal is free.

Autoregistro is the cheapest app: €1/month per property with everything included and no minimums. The next options are iButlers (€2/month + VAT) and Partee (from €1.69/month depending on property capacity). The remaining apps with public pricing cost between €3 and €7 per property, or charge per booking or per report (official website data, September 2026).

No. The only official tool is the Ministry of Interior's own SES.Hospedajes portal, which is free but manual: you need a digital certificate and have to upload each report yourself. All guest registration apps (Autoregistro, Chekin, Partee, etc.) are third-party tools that automate that submission.

Yes. The official SES.Hospedajes portal is free: you register your establishment and upload each guest report by hand within 24 hours of arrival. What the apps charge for is not access to SES, but the automation: guests fill in their own data and the report is submitted without you doing anything.

Everything: online check-in so guests fill in their data from their phone, automatic submission of reports to SES Hospedajes, legal storage of the data for 3 years, and unlimited bookings and languages. No property minimum, no commitment and no commissions. Plus a 3-week free trial with no card.

Not with Autoregistro: signup and setup are free, and you only pay €1/month per property once the 3-week trial ends. Note that registering your establishment on the Ministry's SES.Hospedajes portal (required no matter which app you use) is also free.

Chekin's cheapest plan starts at €3.95/month per property, but requires a minimum of 3 properties, so the real entry price is €11.85/month (according to their website, May 2026). It also applies transaction commissions on deposits and damage protection.

It depends on your occupancy. Checkin Vacacional charges 2 credits per booking (between €1.70 and €4): with a single booking per month you already pay more than Autoregistro's flat €1/month, and in high season the difference multiplies. Pay-per-use only pays off with very few bookings per year.

Some PMSs include or integrate traveler registration: AvaiBook with its Fast Check-in module, Lodgify from its own panel, and Smoobu via integrations with Chekin or Check-in Scan. But these are full management suites costing €20–100/month. If you already pay for one that includes SES submission, use it; if you only need registration compliance, a dedicated tool at €1/month is far cheaper.
