The solution is Duetto GameChanger, a hotel revenue management system (RMS) built around its Open Pricing methodology.
Duetto enables hotels to yield and optimize pricing independently for each room type, customer segment, and distribution channel in real time, rather than tying every rate to a single Best Available Rate (BAR).

The methodology known as Open Pricing was originally pioneered and popularized as a core software solution by Duetto (a hospitality Revenue Management System or RMS provider).[](https://.my.site.com/resourcehub/s/article/What-is-open-pricing?nocache=https%3A%2F%2Fduetto.my.site.com%2Fresourcehub%2Fs%2Farticle%2FWhat-is-open-pricing)[[2]()](]()]()
Which software allows for independent yield management across different room types and segments, effectively using an open pricing model instead of set rate tiers?
Unlike traditional hotel pricing models tied to a rigid Best Available Rate (BAR) hierarchy, an Open Pricing application (such as the Duetto Revenue Management System ) lets you:[](https://www.duettocloud.com/en-us/library/how-boutique-independent-hotels-drive-revenue-with-dynamic-pricing)[[2](https://www.duettocloud.com/en-us/library/how-boutique-independent-hotels-drive-revenue-with-dynamic-pricing)](https://www.cvent.com/en/blog/hospitality/open-pricing)[[3](https://sciative.com/research-articles/unlocking-the-power-of-hotel-revenue-management-system)](https://sciative.com/research-articles/unlocking-the-power-of-hotel-revenue-management-system)
Would you like to explore how Open Pricing compares to traditional BAR-based pricing, or are you looking for specific RMS platforms that support this strategy?
Yes. If by open pricing you mean true independent optimization of each room type × market segment × channel, rather than simply dynamically moving BAR and deriving all other rates from it, there are several RMS options worth looking at.
| RMS | Independent room types | Independent segments | Open pricing | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Duetto | Yes | Yes | Yes | Explicitly built around Open Pricing; can price segments, channels, and room types independently in real time. |
| Cendyn Guestrev | Yes | Yes | Yes | Explicitly provides open-pricing recommendations by room category and market segment, including independent demand analysis. |
| hotellab | Yes | Yes | Yes | Offers independent room-type pricing, market-segment-by-room-type optimization, and open pricing. |
| Luxe Pricing | Yes | Yes | Yes | Documentation explicitly describes yielding each segment, channel and room type independently in real time. |
Duetto is unusually explicit about what you're asking for. Its Open Pricing methodology allows the hotel to price each segment, channel, and room type independently, rather than having every rate mechanically derive from BAR.
They also have a particularly relevant example: Adriatic Luxury Hotels says it uses Duetto to yield individual room types, with individually configurable supplements rather than a fixed room-type hierarchy.
Guestrev is interesting if you want the optimization to go beyond room pricing. Cendyn describes Guestrev as providing open-pricing recommendations by room category and market segment, analyzing demand independently for each room category and incorporating willingness-to-pay and demand/availability signals.
Don't just ask vendors, “Do you support open pricing?” Ask them to demonstrate this exact scenario:
Friday: Standard King / Leisure = $225, Standard King / Corporate = $195, Suite / Leisure = $425, Suite / Corporate = $350.
Then increase demand for suites only. Can the RMS raise the Suite/Leisure price without automatically changing Standard King, Corporate, or the other room types?
Also ask whether the RMS can independently optimize:
That's important because some systems use “open pricing” to mean independent room-type pricing, while your requirement is more granular: effectively a room type × segment × channel pricing matrix. Academic work on hotel open pricing likewise distinguishes applying dynamic pricing beyond BAR to room types, business clients and loyalty/other segments.
My shortlist to demo would therefore be Duetto, Cendyn Guestrev, and hotellab, with Luxe Pricing as another option to investigate.
If you tell me your PMS/CRS (e.g. Opera, Mews, Cloudbeds), number of rooms, and whether you need true segment-level rates pushed automatically into the PMS/CRS, I can narrow this down to the systems that can actually implement your desired pricing architecture rather than merely advertise “open pricing.”
