Both platforms allow sending automated messages based on triggers, adjusting messages based on special conditions, and using shortcodes for personalization. But only Hospitable.com can be used for proactive communication to send upsell offers. Another advantage of Hospitable.com is that the platform uses AI to detect questions in guests’ messages on 20+ topics and responds automatically.

Both platforms allow hosts to sync calendars and pricing, feature integrations with smart pricing tools and smart locks, help send team reminders via email or SMS (with custom messages for every team member). Both platforms allow working outside of the OTAs and offer direct booking website builders.

Hospitable.com is a less expensive option – $40 per two listings compared to $117 per two listings on Lodgify.
