CleverStay vs DuveDuve is built around online check-in: guest details, documents, and rental agreements before arrival. CleverStay takes the opposite stance. Guests scan a printed sign and get answers - no forms, no signup, and no guest data stored anywhere.
Building guides is free, forever. Your 14-day Pro trial starts when your printed cards arrive, not before.
No guest accounts, no email capture, no document uploads. CleverStay reads stay windows from your calendar feed and drops everything else at parse time. There is nothing about your guests for us to lose - and nothing extra for you to disclose.
Duve's flow routes guests through registration and rental agreements before the stay. With CleverStay, the first interaction is the answer itself: scan the card in the kitchen, ask, done.
Printed cards, weatherproof stickers, and engraved signs at every point of need - kept in sync with the digital guide, and flagged for reprint the moment your edits make them stale.
Duve and CleverStay start from opposite philosophies about guest data. This table shows where that difference lands in practice.

SwitchersWhy hosts made the move, in their own words
“I didn't want my guests filling out forms before they'd even arrived. CleverStay flips it: they scan the card in the kitchen and just ask.”
“No guest data, nothing to disclose, nothing to breach. After a European guest asked us pointed GDPR questions, that stance alone was worth the switch.”
Give guests instant, cited answers from a printed sign - and keep their personal data entirely out of your stack.
