Compare property management software for daily work — Host Tools vs Hostfully Property Management Platform vs iGMS

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.

Host Tools: what to consider

Check whether cleaner notices meet your needs. They do not establish built-in task checklists. When availability sync is on, block dates in Host Tools; blocks made only on a booking site can reopen. Read the Host Tools 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.

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.

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 Host Tools, Hostfully Property Management Platform and iGMS?

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.

Where should I block owner stays when Host Tools syncs availability?

Block the dates in Host Tools when its availability sync is on. It then acts as the main calendar. A manual block made on a booking site is not treated as a booking and may reopen. Check the block on each linked site.

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.

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.
