Fixray vs Snapfix: a whole-hotel platform, or the maintenance job done properly.
Snapfix invented photo-based issue reporting for hospitality, and has grown into a full hotel operations platform: maintenance, housekeeping, guest messaging and compliance, sold to hotel groups through a demo. Fixray does one job: get maintenance reported, fixed and proven at a UK venue. Every price is published, and you can start free on the Log tier today, without a sales call.

Fixray is best for you if…
- You want to know what it costs before you talk to anyone — every Fixray tier is published, and you can start on the free Log tier without a sales call
- You need SLA accountability on Track: a due date for each priority you set, and a record of what missed it
- You run recurring compliance walks — fire alarm, emergency lighting, legionella — and want them scheduled and logged rather than remembered
- You want venue-specific defaults — rooms, spaces, event turnarounds — not a generic hospitality tool
Snapfix is best for you if…
- You want one platform for housekeeping, guest messaging and maintenance across a hotel group, and you're buying through a sales process
- You need a deep reference base of like-for-like hotel groups before you'll switch
- Your team is multilingual or mixed-literacy — Snapfix's icon-driven, language-agnostic UX is built for exactly that
- You already run Snapfix and the switching friction outweighs the gain
If the scale of the customer base matters more to you than venue-specific fit, Snapfix is the safer bet today. That will change as Fixray's reference base grows.
How Meridian Grand ended up here
“We ran everything off a WhatsApp group for two years. It worked until a leak during a wedding weekend got buried in the chat and we heard about it from a guest. Fixray gave us one list, a photo against every job, and proof it's been done. I've stopped waking up at 3am wondering what we missed.”Read the full Meridian Grand switch story
Switching questions
- We already pay for Snapfix. Is switching worth the friction?
- We can't tell you the delta, and we won't guess at it — Snapfix doesn't publish its pricing, so your quote is yours and we've never seen it. What we can do is show you ours: every Fixray tier is on the pricing page with what's in it, and the free Log tier lets you run a real site alongside Snapfix before you commit to anything. Pull your last three Snapfix invoices, put them next to our published tiers, and the comparison takes ten minutes.
- How do we move our Snapfix history across?
- You don't need to. Fixray starts from today. Close open Snapfix items there; new items go into Fixray. Export the Snapfix archive for insurance if your audit cycle needs continuity.
- Our fixers learned Snapfix. Will they have to relearn?
- The workflow is the same: report, triage, fix, verify. Day-one adoption at Meridian Grand with no training. Reporters get free invited accounts — nothing to install, unlimited on every plan.
- Snapfix runs 100+ hotel groups. Why should we trust Fixray?
- We're earlier. Our named customer is Meridian Grand. If reference-base scale matters more to you than venue-specific fit, Snapfix is the safer bet today.
