The published facts, in plain English
iGMS is Airbnb-native PMS / automation. On cost, the published figure is FLEX $1/booked night (min $20/prop); PRO $18–$21/prop/mo. There is a trial rather than a free tier. It runs without a separate PMS. Scale: mid.
Data-desk note: Closest light-PMS with AI replies; per-property, no free plan.
Who it’s for
This platform suits property owners who are already using Airbnb as their primary booking channel and are seeking to automate their operations. It is particularly relevant for those who manage multiple listings and are looking for tools to streamline guest communication and booking management, with a preference for a pricing model tied to booking volume.
Our take
iGMS provides an Airbnb-native Property Management System (PMS) with features for automation. Pricing is structured in two tiers: FLEX at $1 per booked night with a minimum of $20 per property, and PRO at $18 to $21 per property per month. A free trial is available, but there is no free plan. iGMS is noted as a mid-sized company and a relatively light PMS, distinguishing itself with AI-powered reply capabilities. It requires a PMS for partial operation.
How it compares to BnBGenius
Side by side on published terms: iGMS lists FLEX $1/booked night (min $20/prop); PRO $18–$21/prop/mo, while BnBGenius lists free for the first 500 messages, then $10/month flat, with no PMS required. Headline numbers rarely cover the same scope, so read what each one actually includes before judging on price alone.
Verdict
iGMS offers robust automation for Airbnb-focused hosts, with flexible pricing options. For an owner-first alternative, consider BnBGenius.

Questions to put to iGMS
- “Is FLEX $1/booked night (min $20/prop); PRO $18–$21/prop/mo per listing or flat?” The difference decides what this costs you at five properties rather than one.
- Free tier or trial. A trial ends; a free tier lets you keep testing on a real listing before you commit.
- What it needs underneath. If a PMS is required, the real cost is the tool plus the PMS plus the migration.
