The comparison

LivretAccueil vs ScanStay
which approach suits you?

LivretAccueil positions itself as a free digital guidebook with a QR code. It's a simple entry point with no budget. But free stops where automation begins: no AI assistant, no content generation, a guidebook that stays static.

ScanStay goes further: an AI chatbot that answers guests 24/7 in 5 languages, AI photo detection that automatically generates appliance manuals, automatic translation, and a service catalogue with integrated Stripe payment that turns your guidebook into a revenue source. From €4.99/month — easily covered by what it earns you.

🤖

AI guest chatbot (ScanStay only)

Smart assistant that answers guests 24/7 in 5 languages. LivretAccueil has no AI — guests search the guidebook themselves.

📸

AI photo manuals (ScanStay only)

Take a photo of an appliance, the AI generates the usage manual automatically. LivretAccueil requires 100% manual entry.

🛒

Service catalogue + Stripe payment

Sell extras (cleaning, welcome basket, late check-out) with integrated Stripe payment. Your guidebook becomes a revenue channel.

🌍

Auto-translation in 5 languages

FR, EN, ES, DE, IT translated automatically for your guests. No manual translations to maintain.

🧰

An ecosystem, not just a guidebook

Timestamped photo check-in inventory, Airbnb listing audit, AI visibility. ScanStay covers the whole hosting job, not just the guidebook.

🤝

Support from a real host

ScanStay is built by an actual rental host who answers you directly. A tool designed from the field, continuously updated.

Who is it for?

The right tool
for the right profile

LivretAccueil or ScanStay? It all depends on what you expect from your digital guidebook.

💸
You just want a free guidebook, nothing more
LivretAccueil may be enough — if your only criterion is zero cost and you don't care about AI, auto-translation or monetisation.
🏠
You have international guests
ScanStay. The AI chatbot in 5 languages and automatic translation eliminate back-and-forth messages.
🛎️
You want to generate extra revenue
ScanStay. The service catalogue with Stripe payment turns your guidebook into a sales channel that pays for the subscription.
⏱️
You want to save time on messages
ScanStay. The AI assistant answers for you; you don't retype every manual by hand.

💡 L'astuce des meilleurs hôtes

Free has a hidden cost: your time. A static guidebook leaves you answering every question yourself and typing everything by hand. ScanStay automates — and earns via the catalogue.
