AskWhisper vs HiJiffy

The short answer
HiJiffy is a guest communications platform for hotel groups, founded in Portugal in 2016. It answers travellers and guests on a hotel's existing website, on messaging apps and in the Booking.com, Expedia and Airbnb inboxes, with a brand document for the group and a document per property, and with check-in and upsells as paid add-ons. AskWhisper is the central platform a hotel group runs all its hotels from: it builds and runs each hotel's website, keeps AI search and OTA listings in line, launches campaigns across every hotel, handles guest messaging, upsells and check-in after booking, and drafts quotes for meetings and events. HiJiffy is the stronger fit when messaging on the sites you already have is the job. AskWhisper is the stronger fit when you want the whole commercial side of every hotel in one place.
Choose HiJiffy if…
You want a guest communications layer on the websites your hotels already have, with the widest set of messaging apps and OTA inboxes, and your websites, campaigns and event sales stay with other suppliers.
Choose AskWhisper if…
You want each hotel's website, campaigns, guest messaging, upsells and event quotes run from one place, so a decision made once for the group is live on every channel of every property.
Where each one is strong
Both are real products with real customers. Here's the honest read on each.
What HiJiffy does well
- A real group set-up: one brand document for the whole portfolio, a document per property, and reporting by property, region and brand
- Channel reach: webchat, WhatsApp, SMS, Messenger, Instagram, Telegram, WeChat and Line, plus the Booking.com, Expedia and Airbnb inboxes
- A booking assistant for the site you already have, with an OTA price checker and alternatives when your dates are sold out
- Email Copilot, launched in October 2026: AI drafts email replies, shows the sources it used, and keeps Send locked until a person has checked it
- Published pricing by plan, more than 130 languages, and a track record going back to 2016
Where AskWhisper goes further than HiJiffy
- It starts before the chat. HiJiffy answers on your existing sites; AskWhisper builds and runs each hotel's website, makes it readable for AI search and keeps the OTA listings saying the same thing.
- A group decision lands everywhere at once. Ask for a Winter Evening at every hotel and it goes live on the websites, the webchat, the emails and WhatsApp, in each brand's own voice.
- Events sit in the same place. Meeting and group requests arrive as a brief, Whisper drafts the quote from each hotel's spaces and rates, and follows it up until it's signed.
- You run it by asking, from AskWhisper or from ChatGPT, Claude or Copilot, including how each hotel is doing. Nobody else runs every channel from one brain across a group.

Questions hoteliers ask
See every questionAskWhisper is the HiJiffy alternative for a hotel group that wants more than guest messaging. HiJiffy answers travellers on the websites and channels a group already runs. AskWhisper also builds and runs each hotel's website, launches campaigns across every property, handles upsells and check-in, and drafts quotes for meetings and events, all run by asking Whisper.
No. HiJiffy's channels page describes its AI chat as integrated directly on the hotel's existing website. AskWhisper builds and hosts each hotel's website from a description of the property, keeps it readable for AI search, and changes it when you ask Whisper, so the site, the webchat and the emails always share the same facts.
HiJiffy is stronger on messaging reach. Its plans cover Telegram, WeChat, Line, SMS and the Booking.com, Expedia and Airbnb inboxes, and its booking assistant compares OTA prices on the hotel's own site. Its group set-up pairs one brand document with a document per property, with reporting by property, region and brand.
HiJiffy publishes its prices. On 5 November 2026 its pricing page listed Basic from €99, Pro from €159 and Premium from €319 a month per property, depending on rooms, plus a setup fee for every five properties. Check-in, upsells and Email Copilot are paid add-ons, and Enterprise is priced on request.
Yes, and nothing has to be migrated. AskWhisper sits on top of the PMS, channel manager and booking engine each hotel already runs, so reservations stay where they are. You describe each property, check the website and answers that come back, and connect the PMS. Most groups are live in under two weeks.
No. AskWhisper reads live data from your PMS and writes back to it, and your reservations stay exactly where they are. It is a layer on top of your existing stack, not a replacement for it. The same goes for your channel manager and your key system.
Yes. AskWhisper is not a booking engine and never takes the payment. Your site sends travellers into whichever engine you already use, with the room and the dates they were looking at, so the transaction happens exactly where it happens today.
A hotel group runs every property from one AskWhisper account. Shared facts are written once for the group, and each hotel keeps its own details, voice and brand. One request, such as a new event or changed breakfast hours, goes live on each hotel's website, webchat, emails, WhatsApp and listings, and reporting compares hotels side by side.
