Hospitable offers a 14-day free trial on all plans, while Guesty limits trials to Lite only and none on Pro.
Hospitable allows cancellations and downgrades anytime with no obligations, unlike Guesty’s contract-locked plans.
Hospitable starts at a lower price point ($29/month) compared to Guesty’s $39/month Lite tier for individual hosts with up to 3 properties, and custom pricing on the Pro tier.
Hospitable holds higher user ratings on both G2 and Capterra, indicating stronger overall customer satisfaction than Guesty.
Both Hospitable and Guesty offer scheduled messages and AI-powered guest reply drafts, so basic automated messaging and AI-assisted replies are available on both platforms.
However, Hospitable adds several advanced AI automations that Guesty does not support. With full guest reply automation, Hospitable can automatically send AI-generated responses without manual approval. Automated upsells of vacant nights proactively promote stay extensions when availability opens up. The AI assistant for performance analysis (Copilot) lets users ask questions in plain English and receive instant summaries of revenue, occupancy, and reviews. AI-powered review automation creates draft guest reviews after checkout using booking and message data.
Hospitable and Guesty both support team management and automated reminders, so task coordination and staff notifications are available in both systems.
Hospitable includes several operational features that are limited or paid extras in Guesty. Self-check-in with smart locks is included from Hospitable’s Pro tier, while Guesty only offers it as a paid add-on. Smart thermostat management synced with bookings is built into Hospitable starting with the Professional plan, but is not supported in Guesty at all. Dynamic pricing is included in all Hospitable plans, whereas Guesty requires a paid add-on for the same functionality.
Hospitable and Guesty both provide reporting dashboards, owner statements, expense management, listing management, professional accounting integrations, and owner portals, so core property management and financial reporting tools are available in both platforms.
However, Hospitable includes built-in owner payouts, allowing property managers to distribute earnings to owners directly from the platform. Guesty does not support owner payouts natively, which means managers must rely on external tools or manual workflows for owner payments.
