Looking for Hospitable Alternatives? Ask the Right Question First.
Hospitable does reliable template automation for Airbnb, VRBO, and Booking.com. It is good at what it does. If you are looking for an alternative, it is worth being clear about why before you migrate. Sometimes the answer is a different PMS. Sometimes it is an AI operations layer on top of what you already have.
1. Guesty
Enterprise PMS for large and complex portfolios
Guesty is the most full-featured PMS in the STR market. If you are outgrowing Hospitable — more properties, more owner relationships, more financial complexity — Guesty is the natural next step. It covers everything: channel management across 80+ platforms, owner accounting, trust financials, multi-location support, a marketplace of 150+ integrations, and an API robust enough to build custom workflows on. The tradeoff is cost and complexity. Onboarding takes weeks. Pricing is considerably higher than Hospitable.
Key Strengths
- Deep channel management: Airbnb, VRBO, Booking.com, and 80+ channels
- Full owner accounting: trust financials, statements, commission structures
- Guesty Marketplace: 150+ third-party integrations
- Multi-location and multi-account support for large operators
- Robust API for custom integrations and workflow automation
Key Limitations
- Significantly more expensive than Hospitable — particularly at smaller scales
- Complex onboarding — expect 2-6 weeks to fully configure
- Steep learning curve for teams used to Hospitable's clean interface
- No voice AI — calls still go to your team
- Auto-messages are template-based, not AI-generated contextual replies
Property managers with 50+ properties and complex owner accounting needs who have outgrown Hospitable and need enterprise-grade PMS infrastructure.
Custom pricing based on portfolio size. Typically $10-$18/property/month for mid-sized portfolios. Enterprise pricing available.
2. Hostaway
Mid-market PMS with strong channel breadth and marketplace
Hostaway lands between Hospitable and Guesty in both capability and complexity. It offers more channel breadth and financial features than Hospitable without the full enterprise overhead of Guesty. The marketplace of 100+ integrations is a genuine strength. Onboarding is faster than Guesty — most teams are operational within 1-2 weeks. For managers who have hit Hospitable's limits but do not need Guesty's full complexity, Hostaway is often the right landing spot.
Key Strengths
- Strong channel manager with 100+ channel integrations
- Built-in owner portal with statements and reporting
- Marketplace of 100+ third-party integrations
- Faster onboarding than Guesty — typically 1-2 weeks
- Decent messaging automation and scheduled templates
Key Limitations
- Owner accounting less mature than Guesty for complex financial structures
- Interface less polished than Hospitable's clean design
- No voice AI or multi-agent AI inbox
- Support quality inconsistent at high volume
- Per-listing pricing adds up quickly at scale
Property managers with 20-150 properties who need more channel depth and owner accounting than Hospitable provides — without the full complexity and cost of Guesty.
Per-listing monthly pricing. Typically $10-$16/property/month depending on plan and volume.
3. Lodgify
Direct booking website + PMS combination
Lodgify solves a different problem than Hospitable. Where Hospitable focuses on OTA automation, Lodgify focuses on direct bookings — giving you a professional booking website, an integrated payment engine, and channel management in one package. If reducing Airbnb and VRBO dependency is your priority, Lodgify addresses it directly. Channel management is solid for smaller portfolios but less robust than Hostaway or Guesty at scale.
Key Strengths
- Built-in direct booking website — professional, branded, and functional out of the box
- Integrated payment engine for direct bookings
- Reduces OTA dependency by enabling a professional direct booking presence
- Clean interface, similar ease of use to Hospitable
- Good for boutique properties with visual brand identity
Key Limitations
- Channel management less reliable at scale (50+ properties)
- Owner accounting limited compared to Hostaway or Guesty
- Messaging automation less sophisticated than Hospitable's template system
- No voice AI or AI inbox
- Not built for enterprise portfolios with complex financial structures
Property managers with 5-40 properties who want to build a direct booking channel — a branded website with booking engine — alongside their OTA presence.
Per-property monthly pricing. Plans typically $12-$20/property/month. Volume discounts available.
4. iGMS
Multi-channel STR software with team management tools
iGMS (formerly AirGMS) covers the core STR automation stack — channel sync, automated messaging, multi-user team access, and owner reporting. It is priced similarly to Hospitable but has stronger multi-user and team management features. If you have a VA or small operations team, iGMS's task management and team assignment tools add value that Hospitable does not provide natively.
Key Strengths
- Strong multi-user and team management features — task assignment, access controls
- Solid channel sync: Airbnb, VRBO, Booking.com
- Automated messaging similar to Hospitable's template system
- Direct booking website feature included
- Good for operations with a small team or VA support
Key Limitations
- Less polished interface than Hospitable
- Smaller customer base — fewer community resources and integrations
- Financial reporting less sophisticated than Guesty or Hostaway
- No voice AI or AI inbox automation
- Customer support response times inconsistent
Property managers with small operations teams who need multi-user access, task management, and channel automation at a mid-range price point.
Per-property monthly pricing. Typically $8-$14/property/month depending on plan.
5. Host Tools
Simple, low-cost automation for Airbnb-focused hosts
Host Tools is aimed at the most price-sensitive part of the STR market — hosts who want basic Airbnb automation (scheduled messages, pricing sync) without paying for a full PMS. It does not try to match Hospitable's breadth. It does a narrow set of things reliably and cheaply. If Hospitable feels like too much for your portfolio size and you only care about Airbnb, Host Tools might be sufficient. But you will hit limits quickly as you scale.
Key Strengths
- Very low price — one of the cheapest Airbnb automation tools available
- Simple, no-frills interface that does not require setup time
- Airbnb messaging automation works reliably
- Basic price sync with dynamic pricing tools
- Good starting point for hosts with 1-3 Airbnb listings
Key Limitations
- Very limited compared to Hospitable — fewer channels, fewer features
- No VRBO or Booking.com integration at the same depth
- No owner accounting, no financial reporting
- No AI inbox or voice AI
- Not a viable platform as your portfolio grows past a few properties
Solo hosts with 1-5 Airbnb listings who want the simplest possible automation at minimum cost. A starting point, not a growth platform.
Very low flat monthly fee — typically under $20/month regardless of listing count. See their website for current pricing.
6. Dimora AI — Not a Hospitable Alternative. A Hospitable Amplifier.
AI operations layer that runs on top of Hospitable (or any PMS)
Dimora is not a Hospitable replacement. Your Hospitable templates keep running — pre-arrival sequences, check-in instructions, review requests, all on schedule. What Dimora adds is the layer Hospitable was never designed to handle: answering every phone call at 11 PM, reading a guest's actual message and drafting a contextual AI reply, detecting gap nights and sending offers automatically, and tracking outstanding balances. If your pain points are unanswered calls, slow inbox responses, missed upsell revenue, or payment follow-up — those are Dimora problems, not PMS problems.
Key Strengths
- Voice AI answers every guest call 24/7 — 1,800+ calls handled to date
- 6-agent inbox drafts contextual replies in under 10 seconds — 6,300+ drafts generated
- Revenue Engine auto-sends upsell offers — 470+ late checkout, early check-in, and gap night offers sent
- AI Learning self-improves from every PM edit — no manual retraining
- Payment Audit automates daily balance tracking and follow-up
- Native Hospitable integration — reads your reservations in real time
Key Limitations
- Not a PMS — does not replace channel management, owner accounting, or reservation management
- Requires an existing PMS (Hospitable, Guesty, or Hostaway) as the foundation
- Newer platform — smaller customer base than established PMS providers
- Pricing is additive — $3,000-$6,000/year on top of your Hospitable subscription
Hospitable users whose templates handle the predictable messaging well — but who still have unanswered calls, inbox questions that templates cannot handle, missed upsell windows, and outstanding balances at check-in.
Flat monthly platform fee + usage. Most portfolios with 50 properties: $3,000-$6,000/year on top of your existing Hospitable subscription.

Dimora AI
Is it a PMS problem or an operations problem?
Hospitable handles scheduled messaging reliably. If you are frustrated with it, ask why. Is it a channel sync issue? A financial reporting gap? A missing owner portal? Those are PMS problems — and the alternatives above solve them.
Or is the frustration something different? Calls at 11 PM that go unanswered. Guest questions that templates cannot answer. Late checkout and gap night revenue you are not capturing. Outstanding balances at check-in that someone needs to chase. Those are operations problems. A different PMS will not fix them.
Dimora fixes the operations problems — on top of Hospitable, without replacing it. 1,800+ calls handled. 6,300+ inbox drafts. 470+ upsell offers sent. All running on your existing Hospitable data. Your templates keep firing exactly as scheduled.
