Questions before you shortlist

Which vacation rental PMS publishes an entry price?

Guesty Lite is listed from $9 per listing per month for one to three listings. Hospitable has a free Essentials plan. Jurny lists $39 per unit per month with a $400 monthly minimum. Hostaway and Streamline do not print a rate.

What should a manager ask about trust accounting?

Streamline and Escapia describe trust accounting. Guesty and Lodgify lead with calendars, inboxes and direct bookings. Ask for a sample owner statement if you hold guest funds, and do not assume every PMS includes that ledger.

Are iCal connections the same as a channel link?

Hospitable says Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo and Agoda are native, and that Expedia and Tripadvisor use iCal. A native link and an iCal import update at different speeds. Check the connection type for each channel you sell.
