Hospitable at a glance
Originally built for individual hosts, Hospitable has grown into a powerful, full-featured property management system—without losing its signature ease of use. It consistently earns the G2 Best Usability badge, a testament to its intuitive interface. Enjoy a 14-day free trial, transparent pricing, and the only PMS that includes built-in dynamic pricing at no extra cost. A free orientation is available, though most users find the platform easy to navigate from day one.

Smoobu at a glance
Smoobu offers basic automation tools like scheduled messaging and multi-channel syncing. However, it lacks key modern features: there’s no AI-powered automation, no Google Vacation Rentals integration, and no tools for co-hosting or property management. It offers a 14-day free trial, a proprietary dynamic pricing tool (available only as a paid add-on), and a limited selection of integration partners.
