Hospitable is built for hosts, co-hosts, and property managers, while Hostaway targets enterprise-level property management. Both platforms support iCal, direct bookings, and connect to Airbnb, Booking.com, and Vrbo.
Hospitable offers 3 plans starting at $29/month with a 14-day free trial, while Hostaway uses enterprise pricing with no free trial and a $500 guided setup fee. Hospitable holds a higher G2 rating (4.9/5 vs 4.7/5), while both platforms are rated 4.8/5 on Capterra.
Both Hospitable and Hostaway offer scheduled messages, AI-powered guest reply drafts, automated upsells of vacancy nights, and AI review automation, covering core automation for guest communication, revenue extension, and post-stay reviews.
Hospitable includes two advanced AI features that Hostaway does not offer. Full guest reply automation lets AI automatically send guest responses without manual review. The AI assistant for performance analysis (Copilot) allows users to ask questions in plain English and receive summaries of financial, occupancy, and review data.
Both Hospitable and Hostaway support team management and reminders for coordinating staff and operational workflows.
For property automation, Hospitable includes smart locks and self-check-in from the Pro tier, automatically generating time-bound access codes, while Hostaway only offers this as a paid add-on. Smart thermostat sync with bookings is included in Hospitable from the Pro tier, automatically adjusting temperatures for guest stays and vacancies, while Hostaway does not support smart thermostat sync at all. Dynamic pricing is included in all Hospitable plans, while Hostaway requires a paid add-on to access dynamic pricing.
Both Hospitable and Hostaway include reporting dashboards, owner statements, expense management, listing management, owner portals, and professional accounting integration, giving both platforms a strong foundation for owner reporting and financial operations.
The key difference is owner payouts. Hospitable can actually transfer funds directly to property owners’ bank accounts, while Hostaway does not support real owner payouts and only handles reporting without executing payments.
