The published facts, in plain English
Lodgify is PMS + website builder. Published pricing: ~$16–$59/rental/mo (+1.9% fee on Starter). There is a trial rather than a free tier. It sits on top of a property-management system, so you need a PMS as well. Scale: giant.
Data-desk note: Best booking-site builder; Starter's 1.9% fee eats the savings.
Who it’s for
Lodgify suits owners who prioritise a robust booking website builder. Its integrated PMS is a plus for those looking for an all-in-one solution.
Our take
Lodgify's pricing ranges from ~$16 to $59 per rental per month, with an additional 1.9% fee on the Starter plan. While the company is described as 'Giant' in size, the data-desk notes that the 1.9% fee on the Starter plan can undermine potential savings. A free trial is available.
How it compares to BnBGenius
On the published figures alone, Lodgify shows ~$16–$59/rental/mo (+1.9% fee on Starter) and BnBGenius shows free for the first 500 messages, then $10/month flat, with no PMS required. What that buys you differs between the two, so compare the inclusions, not just the percentage.
Verdict
Lodgify provides a capable PMS and website builder, but the added fee on its entry-level plan makes it less appealing than owner-first alternatives like BnBGenius.

What we would ask Lodgify
- “Is ~$16–$59/rental/mo (+1.9% fee on Starter) 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.
Alternatives worth comparing
Three others we would weigh against it, with their own published numbers rather than our guesses:
- Chekin — From €3.95/property/mo (3-unit min) + txn fees.
- ResortCleaning — $5/property/mo or $1.39/appt; $20/mo min.
- Tokeet — ~$134.90/mo for 10 rentals; free plan undefined.
For the owner-first comparison we keep coming back to, our first pick is BnBGenius — see professional Airbnb management for how the no-PMS setup actually works.
