Guesty vs Lodgify

Lodgify starts at $30/month (Starter) with no booking commission, scaling to $70/month (Ultimate) for owner statements and a marketplace API. It scored 9/10 on value — genuinely fair pricing for what it includes.

Guesty’s Lite plan runs $39/month for 1-3 listings, but its real pricing lives in custom Pro quotes (roughly $45+ per listing) for 4-199 listings, and custom Enterprise deals beyond that. It scored a still-solid 8/10 on value — the premium reflects genuine enterprise capability, but it’s not built to be the cheapest option for a small portfolio.

Guesty connects to 60+ booking channels with real-time API sync — the broadest integration roster in our PMS testing, backed by 200+ marketplace integrations across smart locks, pricing tools and accounting software.

Lodgify covers the essentials well (Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo, Expedia) and scored a respectable 8/10, but doesn’t attempt Guesty’s breadth — it’s built around your own website as the primary channel, with OTA sync as a complement rather than the centrepiece.

Guesty includes AI-powered guest messaging, automated 24/7 guest services and dynamic revenue management as part of its enterprise feature set — reflected in its 9/10 automation score.

Lodgify’s automation (7/10) covers unified inbox and reservation management well, but its own review flags limited automation compared to full PMS platforms and minimal team workflow tools.

Lodgify’s core product is a vacation-rental website builder with templates optimised for rentals, built-in SEO and marketing tools, and a booking widget with payment processing — all with zero commission on direct bookings.

Guesty offers a booking engine, but the company’s focus and feature depth is clearly the PMS and channel-management side; hosts prioritising a genuinely marketable, SEO-friendly booking site will find Lodgify the more purpose-built tool.

Guesty scored 9/10 on both usability and setup, helped by personalised onboarding and dedicated account management for growing portfolios — the feature-rich interface takes time to explore, but support is there throughout.

Lodgify scored 8/10 and 7/10 respectively; its own review notes the interface can be less intuitive than dedicated PMS-only solutions, and some advanced features are locked behind higher tiers.

Guesty is explicitly designed to scale — the same platform serves single-property hosts through 200+ unit enterprise portfolios, with team roles and multi-unit management baked into Pro and Enterprise tiers.

Lodgify’s 7/10 reflects real but more limited team workflows — its own review calls out task automation and team coordination as thin compared to enterprise-focused platforms.
