Tailored property management solutions to fit your business needs
Lodgify pricing caters to a range of businesses as there’s a choice of affordable plans. You can start small with access to basic analytics and workflows. As your business expands, you can upgrade to add more custom automation and advanced reporting tools.
But if you’re looking for a scalable PMS, Hostfully pricing gives you the most room to grow. Our pricing is designed so that as your portfolio grows, your cost per property goes down—making it easier to expand without your software becoming a financial burden. This means you’re rewarded for growth, not penalized by it, and you get the flexibility to scale at your own pace with a plan tailored to your business. Hostfully also never charges booking fees, which can quickly add up and cut into a small business’ profits.

Why customers switch from Lodgify to Hostfully
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Hostfully to the rescue!
Hostfully’s responsiveness and customer service is top notch! It is rare that you get such excellent customer service these days.
But we really appreciate the pipeline feature. It is great to be able to see where every guest is in the process of their booking [or] stay. That at-a-glance feature is very helpful for keeping track of everything.
Lodgify was great initially, but we ran into issues with inconsistency in pricing across different OTAs.”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great software that makes my life easier.
Hostfully is an easy-to-use property management software, with very good customer service and [it’s] responsive to customer suggestions. I used Lodgify and Octorate previously and Hostfully is much better.
