Compare property management software for daily work — Hospitable vs Lodgify

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.

Hospitable: what to consider

Match the plan to your guest messages and work tasks. Owner statements and the owner portal need Mogul. Check direct-booking fees and any extra charges for pricing tools or smart devices. Read the Hospitable profile for its plans and requirements.

Lodgify: what to consider

Choose the tier for your work. Professional adds custom message rules. Ultimate adds tasks, photo checklists and owner statements. Check payment and refund rules for each booking channel. Read the Lodgify 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 Hospitable and Lodgify?

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 a Created smart-lock code in Hospitable mean the guest can enter?

No. Created, Visible and Active are different states. A code can exist before the guest can use it. Check its status and active dates before sending entry steps. Hospitable’s smart-lock feature is for Professional, Mogul and Legacy plans with a supported lock.

Can I edit a reply suggested by Lodgify’s AI Messaging Assistant?

Yes. The assistant uses property details and the guest’s message to suggest a reply. You review it, make changes and send it. This differs from scheduled message templates, which can send at the times you set.
