Questions before you shortlist
What is a published price for a rental channel manager?
Rentals United lists Pro from $330 per month for 10 to 50 listings. Uplisting publishes a five-property example at £40 per month or a 3% pay-as-you-go fee. myallocator offers a trial and describes a commission-free BookNow widget, without a monthly figure in the text reviewed.
Can I keep my current PMS?
BookingPal says operators can keep a PMS and add distribution. Nextpax is a channel manager and API, not a housekeeping system. If you already store the reservation somewhere else, buy distribution only after you know which system wins when a date is cancelled.
Which products are both a PMS and a channel manager?
Guesty, Hostaway, Hospitable, Lodgify, Uplisting and Smoobu are filed under both jobs because their sites describe reservations and channel sync. Rentals United, Nextpax, BookingPal and myallocator are filed as channel managers.
