Hospitable and Guesty both support direct bookings and iCal synchronization, so core channel syncing and direct reservation handling are available on both platforms.
However, Hospitable is more flexible and accessible. It offers transparent tiered pricing starting at $29/month, while Guesty starts higher at $39/month on Lite with enterprise-only pricing on Pro. Hospitable also includes a 14-day free trial on all plans, whereas Guesty only offers a trial on Lite and none on Pro. Cancellations and downgrades on Hospitable can be done anytime with no obligations, while Guesty locks changes into contracts. Finally, Hospitable holds higher user satisfaction, with stronger G2 (4.9 vs 4.5) and Capterra (4.8 vs 4.3) ratings, reflecting a better overall user experience.
Hospitable and Guesty both support scheduled messages and AI-powered guest reply drafts, so basic automated communication and AI-assisted replies are available on both platforms.
However, Hospitable includes several advanced automation features that Guesty does not offer natively. With full guest reply automation, Hospitable can send AI-generated guest responses automatically without manual approval, while Guesty requires human input. Automated upsells of vacant nights are built directly into Hospitable to proactively fill short gaps, whereas Guesty only supports this through third-party integrations. Hospitable also provides an AI assistant for performance analysis, allowing users to ask questions in plain English about revenue, occupancy, and reviews—this functionality is not available in Guesty. In addition, AI-powered review automation prepares guest reviews after checkout in Hospitable, while Guesty does not support automated reviews with AI.
Hospitable and Guesty both support team management and task reminders, so basic team coordination and operational notifications are available on both platforms.
However, Hospitable includes several built-in automation and revenue tools that Guesty either lacks or only offers as paid add-ons. Self-check-in with smart locks is included in Hospitable from the Pro tier, while Guesty requires a paid add-on. Smart thermostat automation synced with bookings is built directly into Hospitable from the Pro plan, enabling automatic energy optimization based on guest stays—this feature is not available in Guesty. Dynamic pricing is included in all Hospitable plans, allowing automatic rate optimization without extra cost, whereas Guesty only offers dynamic pricing as a paid add-on.
Hospitable and Guesty both provide reporting dashboards, owner statements, expense management, listing management, professional accounting integrations, and owner portals, so core financial tracking, reporting, and owner communication tools are available on both platforms.
However, Hospitable includes built-in owner payout functionality that Guesty does not provide. With owner payout, Hospitable allows property managers to automatically distribute earnings to owners directly through the platform, simplifying revenue sharing and reducing manual payment work. Guesty does not support native owner payouts, requiring external workflows or third-party tools instead.
