Hospitable and Lodgify both support iCal sync and direct bookings, so core calendar synchronization and direct reservation capabilities are available on both platforms.
However, Hospitable is positioned for hosts, co-hosts, and property managers, while Lodgify is mainly built for individual hosts, making Hospitable more suitable for professional and scaled operations.
On pricing, Hospitable starts at $29/month with no booking fees, while Lodgify starts at $20/month plus a 1.9% booking fee. Hospitable also offers a longer free trial (14 days vs 7 days) and has higher user ratings, with stronger scores on both G2 and Capterra, indicating higher overall customer satisfaction.
Both Hospitable and Lodgify offer scheduled messages and AI-powered guest reply drafts, so both platforms support basic automated messaging and AI-suggested responses.
However, Hospitable includes several advanced automation and AI features that Lodgify does not support. With full guest reply automation, Hospitable can automatically send AI-generated responses to guests without manual approval. Automated upsells of vacancy nights proactively offer stay extensions when future availability appears, helping increase revenue. The AI assistant for performance analysis allows users to ask natural-language questions and receive instant summaries of occupancy, revenue, and reviews. AI-powered reviews automation prepares guest review drafts after checkout using booking and conversation data.
Both Hospitable and Lodgify support team management and reminders, so core task coordination and staff workflows are available in both platforms.
However, Hospitable includes several operations features that Lodgify either limits or does not offer natively. Self-check-in with smart locks is included in Hospitable starting from the Pro tier, while Lodgify only offers this as a paid add-on. Smart thermostat management synced with bookings is built directly into Hospitable (from Pro), enabling automatic energy optimization based on guest stays, whereas this functionality is not available in Lodgify at all. Dynamic pricing is included in all Hospitable plans, allowing automatic rate optimization without extra tools, while Lodgify requires a paid add-on for pricing automation.
Both Hospitable and Lodgify include reporting dashboards, owner statements, and expense management, so core financial tracking and reporting tools are available on both platforms for day-to-day operations.
However, Hospitable provides several advanced property-management features that Lodgify does not support. Listing management in Hospitable allows centralized control of property listings across channels, while Lodgify does not offer native listing management. The owner payout tool in Hospitable automates payouts to property owners directly from the platform, which is not available in Lodgify. Professional accounting integration with QuickBooks in Hospitable connects directly with accounting system for synchronized financial reporting and streamlined tax filing, while Lodgify lacks native accounting integrations. Owner portals in Hospitable give property owners dedicated access to performance and financial data along with the ability to book their property for their own stays, a feature that is not available in Lodgify.
