Frequently asked questions.
What does Canary Technologies actually do?
Canary Technologies is primarily a digital check-in, ID verification, and upsell platform for larger hotels. Guest messaging is a secondary feature. Suzy AI is focused entirely on 24/7 guest communication via SMS and voice — a fundamentally different use case.
Does Canary work without a PMS?
Canary's core features — digital check-in, ID verification, and upsell — are deeply dependent on PMS integration. Suzy AI works out of the box without any PMS connection and can be operational the same day you sign up.
Does Canary have voice AI?
Canary Technologies does not offer built-in voice AI. Suzy AI automatically answers inbound guest calls using Vapi.ai — included in every plan starting at $249/mo.
How much does Canary cost vs Suzy AI?
Canary does not publish pricing and requires a sales demo for enterprise quotes. Suzy AI starts at $249/mo with all pricing visible at suzyai.net/pricing — no demo required to understand what you are paying.
