Compare property management software for daily work — Hostaway 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.

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.

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 Hostaway 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.

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.

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.
