Hospitable is built for hosts, co-hosts, and property managers, while Hostfully is focused specifically on property managers. Both platforms support iCal, direct bookings, and connect to Airbnb, Booking.com, and Vrbo, as well as Google Vacation Rentals. Hospitable connects to Agoda, while Hostfully instead connects to Homes & Villas by Marriott.
Pricing and access differ significantly. Hospitable offers 3 tiers starting at $29/month with a 14-day free trial, while Hostfully starts at $129/month plus a setup fee and does not offer a free trial.
User ratings favor Hospitable, with a 4.9/5 G2 score and 4.8/5 on Capterra, compared to Hostfully’s 4.3/5 on G2 and 4.2/5 on Capterra.
Both Hospitable and Hostfully support scheduled messages, AI-powered guest reply drafts, and AI review automation, covering the basics of automated guest communication and post-stay reviews on both platforms.
Hospitable adds several advanced AI-driven capabilities that Hostfully does not offer. Full guest reply automation allows AI to automatically send responses to guests without manual review. Automated upsells of vacant nights proactively offer stay extensions when upcoming nights are available. Hospitable also includes an AI assistant for performance analysis (Copilot) that summarizes financial, occupancy, and review data in plain English.
Both Hospitable and Hostfully support team management and reminders for coordinating staff and operations.
For smart locks and self-check-in, Hospitable includes automated, time-based access codes starting from the Pro tier, while Hostfully only offers smart lock access as a paid add-on. Hospitable also includes smart thermostat sync with bookings from the Pro tier, automatically adjusting temperatures for arrivals and vacancies to improve comfort and reduce energy costs—this feature is not available in Hostfully.
For dynamic pricing, Hospitable includes its proprietary pricing automation in all plans, while Hostfully relies on paid third-party integrations to enable dynamic pricing.
Both Hospitable and Hostfully offer reporting dashboards, owner statements, expense management, listing management, and professional accounting integration, providing a similar foundation for financial tracking and property operations.
The key difference is owner payouts. Hospitable can actually transfer funds directly to property owners’ bank accounts, while Hostfully does not support automated owner payouts and stops at reporting only.
