Vacation Rental Software Pricing Index, October 2026

Vacation rental software charges in four different ways: per property, per listing, a base fee plus a per-property charge, or by quote. This index puts the published prices side by side and works out the monthly bill at 1, 3 and 10 listings wherever a vendor publishes enough to do it. Each figure comes from the vendor’s own pricing or help page, checked October 27, 2026 unless a row says otherwise. For long-term rentals, see our Property Management Software Pricing Index.

TABLE 1: PLANS AND STARTING PRICES (ALPHABETICAL)

TABLE 2: MONTHLY COST AT 1, 3 AND 10 LISTINGS (CHEAPEST PAID PLAN THAT FITS)

Hospitable’s free Essentials plan costs $0 at any size but leaves out features the paid tiers carry, such as the direct booking website that starts at Professional. At 10 listings Hospitable’s Professional plan is $179 and Mogul is $309. OwnerRez charges $40 for the first property, $15 each for the second and third, $10 for the fourth, $8 each for the fifth to ninth and $7 for the tenth. Smoobu figures are the minimum, one unit at EUR 28 plus extra units from EUR 9.60 each, and the real figure depends on the plan chosen. Lodgify and Hostfully are left out of this table because their per-listing cost is not something we could verify.

WHAT THE PLAN PRICE LEAVES OUT

• OwnerRez: digital signatures are free, but premium features such as QuickBooks sync and hosted websites are billed per property on their own tables, and SMS carries usage fees after 500 outbound segments.
• Hospitable: processing Vrbo payments adds 3.9% on top of Vrbo’s commission, and guest vetting carries a 2% fee. Annual billing is 12% cheaper. Its pricing page showed blanks when we checked, so these figures come from its help center.
• Smoobu: the Flex plan charges a 0.9% fee on every booking, which is why Prepaid costs more up front. Billing is in EUR, so USD figures shift with the exchange rate. Yearly billing is 10% cheaper and two years 20%.
• Guesty: Lite covers one to three listings, and from the fourth listing the price is a quote.
• Lodgify: there is no booking commission, but a 1% fee applies to guest payments made online through a gateway such as Stripe or PayPal, and the gateway charges its own fee on top. Prices rise with the number of properties, and the figures above are the page’s default view of one property.
• Hostaway: third-party guides estimate about $25 to $50 per listing for small portfolios, but Hostaway publishes nothing, so confirm with a quote.
