Touch Stay and Stamp are both no-download digital guidebooks, but they solve different problems. Touch Stay is a broad operational guidebook — strong for vacation rentals and reducing front-desk questions like Wi-Fi, check-in and house rules. Stamp is purpose-built for boutique hotels to curate local recommendations and turn guests into measurable word-of-mouth.
The verdict
Choose Stamp if your priority is curated local recommendations and guest referrals; choose Touch Stay if you need a broad operational guidebook across many rental properties.
Touch Stay is a progressive-web-app digital guidebook aimed at short-term rentals and hospitality. It centralises operational guest info (Wi-Fi, check-in, house rules), with custom branding, multi-language, an AI guidebook generator and chatbot, upsells and PMS integrations. Pricing starts around $99/year for a first property.
Touch Stay is one of the best-known digital guidebooks, popular with short-term rental hosts and property managers for replacing repetitive guest questions with a self-serve, branded web app. It is genuinely good at what it does. The difference is focus: Touch Stay is built around operational guest information across a portfolio, while Stamp is built around a boutique hotel's curated recommendations and the word-of-mouth they create.

Stamp is boutique-hotel-native: staff-curated recommendations, guest “stamps” and collections, and referral tracking that turns word-of-mouth into something you can measure — all in a branded, no-app guide.
For boutique hotels focused on curated local recommendations and word-of-mouth, yes. Stamp is hotel-native and adds referral attribution and guest sharing. Touch Stay remains a strong choice if you need a broad operational guidebook, especially across vacation rentals.
Focus. Touch Stay centres on operational guest information across rental properties; Stamp centres on a boutique hotel's curated recommendations and the measurable word-of-mouth they create. Both are no-download, branded web guides.
Stamp can hold practical guest information, but its core strength is curated local recommendations and referrals rather than a full operational manual. If deep operational content across many properties is your priority, Touch Stay is purpose-built for that.
Touch Stay is billed annually, starting around $99/year for a first property with per-property discounts at scale. For Stamp's current plans, see the pricing page — and compare on fit, not just price, since the products target different jobs.
