Lodgify, Hospitable, Guesty and the rest, compared honestly.
What each tool is, what it costs for one property, what it charges on direct bookings, and who builds the site. Prices from each company’s own pages, as of October 2026.
Every alternative on one page
The tools below are good at what they do, and most of them do much more than we do: channel management through the platforms’ APIs, cleaning schedules, dynamic pricing, owner statements. If you need those, you need one of them. If what you want is your own direct booking site, under your name, without learning a new system, that is the part we do, for one yearly price.

How to pick in one minute
- You mostly want a direct booking site of your own, for one home or a whole portfolio: a done-for-you site is enough. That is us (One place $149, Up to five $349, and Agency for unlimited properties from $799 a year), or Boostly if you also want coaching and can spend about $1,200 a year or more.
- You want one system to run everything, and you enjoy setting things up: Lodgify, Hospitable or OwnerRez.
- You want one system to run operations for a whole team: API channel management, cleaning, owner accounting and shared tasks in one place. Hostaway or Guesty Pro, with a sales call to price it. If what the portfolio needs is the direct booking site, our Agency plan covers it.
- You already pay for a PMS and only want a better site: keep the PMS. Our site syncs calendars through iCal and can sit next to it.
