Starting prices for every tool in our comparison, plus what you actually get at each price band. Most vendors scale pricing with the number of properties; enterprise tools are custom-quoted per account.
How vacation rental software pricing works
Almost every vendor uses one of three models: (1) per-property monthly pricing that drops as you add units, (2) a flat plan bundled with a module cap, or (3) a custom quote tied to portfolio size and enabled modules. Add-ons like dynamic pricing, review automation and payment processing fees (2 to 3%) sit on top of the base rate.
Two-way sync across Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo and Expedia, plus direct-booking site, payments and messaging.

Frequently asked questions
Entry-level channel managers start around $13 to $20 per property per month. Lodgify starts at $13/month per property (annual) and includes a direct-booking website. Hosthub starts at $15/month per listing (sync only). Hostfully starts near $109/month for 1-2 units. Guesty and Cloudbeds are custom-quoted, typically $150 to $500+ per month depending on portfolio size and modules.
Lodgify at $13/month is the cheapest channel manager that includes two-way API sync with Airbnb, Booking.com and Vrbo plus a bundled direct-booking website. Hosthub is cheaper per listing if you only need calendar sync and skip the website. Your.Rentals has no monthly fee but charges a per-booking commission, which usually costs more once you pass a few reservations.
Most channel managers (Lodgify, Hosthub, Hostfully, OwnerRez) charge a monthly fee per property that drops as you add listings. Your.Rentals uses a per-booking commission on its free plan instead. Guesty and Cloudbeds are custom-quoted based on portfolio size, connected OTAs and enabled modules like revenue management or trust accounting.
Most self-serve tools (Lodgify, Hosthub, Hostfully, OwnerRez) offer a 7 to 30 day free trial with no credit card required to start. Your.Rentals uses a free plan with a per-booking commission instead of a trial. Guesty and Cloudbeds are sales-led and typically require a demo and paid pilot before full access.
Yes. Lodgify, Hosthub and OwnerRez publish per-property pricing that drops per unit as your portfolio grows, which is why they're the most affordable choice at 5 to 15 listings. Hostfully and Guesty use tiered pricing bands. Cloudbeds is fully custom-quoted based on portfolio size.
Watch for payment processing (2 to 3% via Stripe or the vendor's payments product), optional add-on modules (dynamic pricing, guest guidebooks, review automation, unified inbox) and, for sales-led tools like Guesty and Cloudbeds, one-time onboarding fees of $500 to $2,000+. Lodgify is one of the few tools where the headline price includes the direct-booking website.
Lodgify is significantly cheaper for hosts with 1 to 15 properties. Lodgify starts at $13/month per property with the website included, while Hostfully starts near $109/month for 1-2 units and treats the direct-booking site as a paid add-on. Hostfully becomes more competitive at 20+ units with heavy operations workflow needs.
For anything past a single listing on a single OTA, yes. Free iCal sync polls every 15 to 60 minutes, which is exactly the window where late Airbnb and Booking.com double bookings happen. A single canceled reservation, chargeback or delisting penalty usually costs more than a full year of a $13 to $20/month channel manager subscription.
