Feature-for-feature, Mies and Guestplan are closely matched. Both platforms handle reservations, table management, and guest communication. The difference is in what you pay. Guestplan's top-tier plan at €230-€240/month delivers features that Mies Pro provides for €69.99-€79.99/month.

Pricing Breakdown

Mies

• Free: Dashboard, customizable widget, mobile/tablet support, email confirmations — €0.
• Lite: €39.99/month (annual) / €49.99/month (monthly).
• Pro: €69.99/month (annual) / €79.99/month (monthly).

Guestplan

• Basic: €50/month (annual billing) / €60/month (monthly billing).
• Premium: €230/month (annual billing) / €240/month (monthly billing).

The savings are staggering. A restaurant on Guestplan's premium monthly plan pays €2,880/year. The same restaurant on Mies Pro annual billing pays €839.88/year — a saving of over €2,000 annually. And if all you need is core reservation functionality, Mies costs you nothing.

Setup and Onboarding

Mies prioritizes simplicity. From creating your account to having a working reservation widget on your website takes less than 5 minutes. No scheduled onboarding calls, no waiting for account approval, no complicated configuration wizards. Just sign up, set your details, and go live.

Guestplan requires a more thorough setup process. While the platform is well-structured, getting everything configured — floor plans, service times, widget styling — typically takes 30 minutes or more. For restaurants with complex setups, it can stretch even longer.

Support

Mies provides customer support across all tiers, including the free plan. The team is knowledgeable about restaurant operations and responds quickly. Mies Pro includes priority support for situations that cannot wait.

Guestplan's support is available to paying customers and is generally well-reviewed. However, at €50-€240/month, you are paying a significant premium for access to that help.

Who Should Choose Which?

Mies fits best for:

• Restaurants that want to eliminate their monthly reservation system bill entirely
• Venues that need advanced features (prepayments, waitlists) without paying €230+/month
• Busy operators who want to set up in minutes, not hours
• Restaurants in any European country — Mies works across the entire continent

Guestplan might work for:

• Restaurants already deeply embedded in Guestplan's workflow who find switching disruptive
• Venues needing a very specific Guestplan integration

Conclusion

Guestplan is a functional platform, but its pricing is hard to defend in 2026 when Mies offers comparable capabilities starting at zero. Whether you are a small bistro looking to save money or a multi-location group seeking to reduce overheads, Mies delivers. Over 500 restaurants across all European countries trust Mies to handle their reservations — and they are saving thousands compared to alternatives like Guestplan.
