Hostfully Alternatives

Hostfully bundles a channel manager, direct booking site, owner portal, and AI-assisted inbox into every plan, and it is not the right fit for every host. Here is how the other short-term rental platforms we have reviewed compare, by reason.

WHAT HOSTFULLY COSTS

Growth starts at $15 per property per month plus a platform fee, for 1 to 50 listings, with a 1% payment gateway fee and a 0.85% commission on direct bookings. Pro starts at $25 per property per month plus a platform fee, for 1 to 199 listings, with no gateway fee and no direct booking commission, and adds a dedicated customer success manager. Enterprise is custom-priced for 200+ listings. Every plan includes the channel manager, direct booking site, unified inbox with InboxAI, mobile app, owner portal, and payment processing. The platform fee is not published on the pricing page, and pricing guides put a four-listing total at roughly $120 to $150 a month. Figures are from Hostfully’s own pricing page, checked October 1, 2026.

WHY PEOPLE LOOK ELSEWHERE

If budget is the priority: Lodgify’s Basic plan is $14 a month billed yearly ($18 monthly) and its Starter plan, which adds a no-code website builder, is $26 ($33 monthly), both at one property and both with a 0% booking fee.

If integration depth and the highest Capterra rating on this site (4.9/5) matter more than a bundled interface: OwnerRez starts at $40 a month for one property on a per-property sliding scale, with no booking fees or contracts. QuickBooks integration and hosted websites cost extra.

If you are running a larger, professionally run portfolio: Guesty’s Pro plan covers 4 to 199 listings and syncs with 60+ channels, quoted through sales.

If your rentals are long-term residential leases, not short-term or vacation stays, Hostfully is not the right category of tool at all. See our full software reviews for that side of the market.

QUICK COMPARISON

WHEN HOSTFULLY IS STILL THE RIGHT CALL

Hostfully includes a direct booking site, an owner portal, and an AI-assisted inbox on every plan, and Pro removes payment gateway fees and direct booking commissions. If you want those bundled and you run operations from a phone, that bundle is what the per-property price buys.
