Comparing three industry giants in vacation rental software
Hostaway and Guesty are well-known enterprise solutions built for property management companies. Both offer an expansive suite of features but require advanced knowledge, lengthy onboarding, and setup costs.
To enrich this comparison, we’re introducing Hospitable—the G2 best-rated vacation rental software of 2024–25, offering powerful automation and unmatched usability.
Hospitable is the only option that combines host-friendly pricing with tools built for co-hosts and PMs. It also leads in user satisfaction according to reviews on G2 and Capterra.
Guesty splits features: Lite is limited, Pro is enterprise-only with no trial.
Hostaway is fully enterprise-focused, with no free trial and a setup fee.
Hospitable is pioneering guest communication and AI solutions.
Hospitable is the only platform with full guest reply automation (you can opt it for AI to answer all guest questions without your review), built-in AI performance insights (ask Copilot questions about finance and booking performance as well as guest reviews and get a detailed response in plain English), and native upsells.
Guesty relies on integrations for upsells and lacks full automation and AI assistance.
Hostaway supports upsells and AI reviews but misses full guest reply automation and AI performance tools.
Hospitable offers better performance and greater value in operations management than Guesty and Hostaway.
Dynamic pricing: Hospitable includes dynamic pricing for users on all plans at no extra cost, while Guesty and Hostaway charge extra.
Smart thermostat management in sync with bookings: included in Hospitable’s packages starting from the Professional one, and not supported by Guesty and Hostaway.
Smart locks: also included in Hospitable starting from the Professional plan, while Guesty and Hostaway charge extra for this feature.
