Hospitable is built for hosts, co-hosts, and property managers, while Hostaway is positioned as enterprise-class software for property managers. Both platforms support iCal sync and direct bookings, and connect to Airbnb, Booking.com, and Vrbo.
Hospitable offers 3 pricing tiers starting at $29/month with a 14-day free trial, while Hostaway uses enterprise pricing and requires a guided start with a $500 setup fee. On review platforms, Hospitable holds a 4.9/5 G2 rating versus Hostaway’s 4.7/5, while both are rated 4.8/5 on Capterra.
Both Hospitable and Hostaway support scheduled messages, AI-powered guest reply drafts, automated upsells of vacancy nights, and AI review automation, so both platforms cover core automation for messaging, revenue extensions, and post-stay reviews.
Hospitable includes two advanced AI capabilities that Hostaway does not offer. Full guest reply automation allows AI to automatically send responses to guests without user involvement. The AI assistant for performance analysis (Copilot) lets users 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 tasks.
For access automation, Hospitable includes smart locks and self-check-in from the Pro tier, with automatic, time-bound door codes, while Hostaway offers this only 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 offer smart thermostat sync at all. Dynamic pricing is included in all Hospitable plans, while Hostaway requires a paid add-on for dynamic pricing functionality.
Both Hospitable and Hostaway provide reporting dashboards, owner statements, expense management, listing management, and professional accounting integration, giving both platforms a similar foundation for financial reporting and operational control.
The key difference is owner payouts. Hospitable can actually move funds directly to property owners’ bank accounts, while Hostaway does not support real owner payouts and only handles reporting without executing the payments.
