Compare property management software for daily work — Hostex vs iGMS vs ResNexus

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.

Hostex: what to consider

Check the tier for each job. Vrbo, Open API and automatic cleaning need Pro or Premium. Calendar links mark booked dates. They do not carry full booking records, so check what your team will receive. Read the Hostex 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.

ResNexus: what to consider

Check the edition and extras in your quote. Messages are a separate service. Premier lists Housekeeping Pro and rental-owner statements. A separate owner portal was not confirmed. Read the ResNexus 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 Hostex, iGMS and ResNexus?

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 Hostex Basic create cleaning tasks automatically?

No. The plan table puts automatic cleaning tasks in Pro and Premium, not Basic. Basic task management is a different tool. If you want bookings to create cleaning work, check that your plan includes that step.

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.

Can ResNexus show who should clean a room and when it was last cleaned?

Yes. Its housekeeping chart tracks the unit, last cleaning, assigned person, cleaning type and room status. You can also change cleaning checklists. Check that your package has the tools you need. The chart records work; it does not prove cleaning quality.
