Compare property management software for daily work — Guesty Pro vs Hostaway vs Hostfully Property Management Platform

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 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.

Hostaway: what to consider

Ask for a quote with the modules and links you need. Check direct-booking fees; the published details conflict. To cancel a Booking.com or calendar-link booking, start on the original booking site. Read the Hostaway profile for its plans and requirements.

Hostfully Property Management Platform: what to consider

Ask which extras your quote includes. Open API, Digital Guidebooks and smart-device services cost extra. InboxAI drafts replies for review. Do not treat those drafts as messages sent on their own. Read the Hostfully Property Management Platform 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 Pro, Hostaway and Hostfully Property Management Platform?

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 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.

Will a Hostaway custom iCal link update my nightly rates?

No. That calendar link syncs open and blocked dates. It does not send rate changes, listing text or amenities. The booking details it brings in depend on the source. These limits are for custom iCal links. Hostaway’s direct software links to booking sites work differently.

Does Hostfully’s base software include Digital Guidebooks and smart-device tools?

Do not assume both are in the base plan. Hostfully lists Digital Guidebooks and smart-device tools as add-ons. Ask for a quote that names the services you need. Check their setup costs and scope apart from the main property software.
