Common questions
What is the difference between OwnerRez and Lodgify?
The core difference lies in their technical focus:
OwnerRez is primarily a channel management engine. It is built for hosts who want native integrations with 25+ different booking platforms. It is highly technical and relies heavily on third-party integrations for advanced automation.
Lodgify is a marketing-centric tool. Its standout feature is its flexible, multilingual direct booking website builder. It is designed for individual hosts who want to build an independent brand.
Hospitable: While the others focus on the "plumbing" (channels) or the "storefront" (websites), Hospitable focuses on the automation. It is the only platform that offers Full Guest Reply Automation and Automated Owner Payouts.
How do OwnerRez’s and Lodgify’s prices compare?
Pricing structures vary significantly based on your listing count and needs:
OwnerRez starts at ~$40/month. It uses a "base + add-on" model where you pay for specific modules. Advanced automation like smart locks or dynamic pricing usually requires paying for external third-party tools.
Lodgify starts at ~$20/month, but their "Starter" plan carries a 1.9% booking fee. To get professional tools and remove the fee, you must upgrade to higher tiers (~$40–$59/mo). Dynamic pricing and smart locks are paid add-ons.
Hospitable starts at $29/month with no booking fees. Unlike the others, Dynamic Pricing is included for free on the Host, Professional, and Mogul plans, and Smart Lock/Thermostat sync is built into the Professional tier and up at no extra cost.
Which is better for guest communication: OwnerRez or Lodgify?
OwnerRez offers standard scheduled messages but has no AI assistance or autonomous reply features.
Lodgify includes AI-powered reply drafts, but a human must still review and send every message.
Hospitable leads the industry with its Inbox AI. It can interpret guest questions and send the correct response automatically 24/7. It also includes Automated Upsells, where the system proactively messages guests to offer paid stay extensions for vacant nights.
Which is better for professional property managers: OwnerRez or Lodgify?
OwnerRez is strong for technical managers who want to sync with dozens of niche channels, but it lacks built-in financial distribution tools.
Lodgify is often considered too basic for professional property management companies because it lacks native listing management and owner payout tools.
Hospitable is the only PMS designed specifically to streamline the "business" side of property management. It handles Actual Owner Payouts (transferring money to owners) and provides Branded Owner Portals and QuickBooks integration.
