Compare property management software for daily work — Guesty Lite vs Guesty Pro
List the jobs you want to handle in one place. Check booking sites, guest messages, payments and staff access first. Then compare the plan and extras needed for those jobs. A long feature list will not show whether your booking sites and work rules are covered.
Guesty Lite: what to consider
Check the tools in your billing choice and any paid extras. Cleaner access has fixed permissions. A partner link does not give you access to the public API for custom software links. Read the Guesty Lite profile for its plans and requirements.
Guesty Pro: what to consider
Ask for a full quote for the work you need. It should list setup, paid extras and booking-related charges. Check access terms before planning a custom software link. Read the Guesty Pro profile for its plans and requirements.
Explore all property management options, how to choose property management software, how to plan a software switch to continue your shortlist.
Common questions
What should I test before switching to one of these tools?
Check future bookings, blocked dates and rate plans before the new system takes control. Then look at rates and fees on each booking site. A link marked connected does not prove that every booking or price rule moved across.
How should I compare the full setup for Guesty Lite and Guesty Pro?
List the main software and any extras on their own. Extras can include lock tools, guidebooks, paid modules and a team to answer guests. Ask which tasks your quote covers. Name the person who will do the work that remains. An inbox or task list does not do it all for you.
Does Guesty Lite’s ReplyAI send its suggested reply for me?
The ReplyAI draft workflow asks you to review the reply and send it. Check the details and change the text first if needed. This describes ReplyAI drafts; it does not mean every Guesty AI tool needs a manual send.
Does Guesty Pro’s inbox include a team to answer guests?
Do not assume so. The inbox is a tool for messages. Guest Communication Services is a separate add-on with a team to handle guest contact. Ask whether that service is in your quote and what work the team will cover.
