The published facts, in plain English
Hospitable is Full PMS. Published pricing: Free Essentials; paid per-property (hidden). There is a free tier. It runs without a separate PMS. Scale: giant.
Data-desk note: Mature all-in-one; AI gated to "Mogul," real cost hidden behind a configurator.
Who it’s for
Hospitable suits independent owners and small to large property management companies. Its comprehensive feature set is accessible to those starting out with the Free Essentials tier.
Our take
Hospitable is a giant in the PMS category, offering a mature, all-in-one solution. Its AI features are gated to the 'Mogul' plan, and actual pricing is not published, requiring users to engage with a configurator. The platform does not require a separate PMS to operate.
How it compares to BnBGenius
On the published figures alone, Hospitable shows Free Essentials; paid per-property (hidden) 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
Hospitable is a solid, if somewhat opaque, choice for owners. For a truly owner-first alternative, consider BnBGenius.

What to pin down with Hospitable
- “Is Free Essentials; paid per-property (hidden) 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
Worth putting on the same shortlist. We have listed what each one publishes, and where nothing is published we say so:
- Zeevou — Free tier; paid £18.56–£21.66/unit/mo (3/10/50-unit mins).
- Lodgify — ~$16–$59/rental/mo (+1.9% fee on Starter).
- Conduit — $649/mo (Starter) / $1,499/mo (Growth, voice).
The benchmark we hold this against is BnBGenius — see One Fine BnB for how the no-PMS setup actually works.
