More PMS reviews
- AirHost
AirHost is a Japan/Singapore‑based all‑in‑one hospitality platform that combines PMS, channel manager, booking engine, contactless check‑in, smart‑lock automation and messaging into one cloud system for hotels and vacation rentals. It centralizes OTAs (Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo, Agoda, Expedia etc.), automates room assignment, payments and 10+ triggered messages per booking, and supports IoT locks and self check‑in kiosks. Pricing is quote‑based through AirHost ONE HMS plans, but Capterra lists paid plans starting around US$200/month with no free version or trial, making it best for professional operators rather than casual hosts.
- Guestflow
Guestflow is an automation and collaboration layer for short-stay businesses that unifies ops, guest messaging, tasking and a guest experience app on one platform. It plugs into your PMS/channel manager (e.g., Beds24, Tokeet, Hostfully) and connects email, SMS, WhatsApp and webhooks so you can design custom workflows for booking confirmations, check-in instructions, upsells, team notifications and review requests. Tiered per-unit pricing ranges from £10/unit for 1–10 units down to £2/unit (~$2.67) for 300+ units, with bulk discounts up to 80%. Strong for PMs that want flexible automation and a central hub rather than yet another standalone AI inbox.
- Resly
Resly is an Australian PMS and channel manager designed for the local short-term rental and holiday park market. It offers features tailored to Australian regulations, trust accounting, and integrations with regional OTAs.
- Icnea
Icnea is a PMS and channel manager designed for the European short-term rental market. It offers multi-language support, localised features for European regulations, and integrations with regional OTAs alongside global platforms.
OwnerRez head-to-head
See exactly how OwnerRez stacks up against the alternatives hosts shortlist it against most.
- OwnerRez vs Hospitable
The Reddit favourite for control freaks meets the automation darling of small hosts. Both excellent — for very different personalities.
- OwnerRez vs Guesty
Our highest-scored PMS against the platform with the only perfect channel-sync score we’ve measured.
- OwnerRez vs Hostaway
One platform leads on partner status and integration count; the other leads on a perfect sync score and a price you don’t need a sales call to find out.
- OwnerRez vs Lodgify
Both are known for serving independent hosts well — they just optimise for opposite ends of the operation.
