Compare property management software for daily work — Guesty Lite vs iGMS vs Lodgix

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.

iGMS: what to consider

Check PRO+ if you need owner statements. Ask which AI and translation tools your plan includes; published details differ. Calendar-link bookings can have less detail than direct links. Read the iGMS profile for its plans and requirements.

Lodgix: what to consider

Match the property-count plan with any owner or accounting extras you need. Issue refunds in the payment gateway; Lodgix records them. Check booking imports before moving your daily work. Read the Lodgix 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, iGMS and Lodgix?

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.

Why might an available Booking.com rate not send bookings to iGMS?

Check the rate-plan type. iGMS says only XML rate plans work with its Booking.com link. A non-XML plan may stay bookable without sending its bookings to iGMS. Ask Booking.com to confirm the mapping for every rate plan you sell.

Will connecting Vrbo to Lodgix bring in all my old bookings?

Do not assume so. Lodgix says to put existing Vrbo bookings on its calendar as blocks or manual bookings before you connect. Its guide says Vrbo does not offer an import for past bookings. Check the calendar before turning on the link.
