The published facts, in plain English
Lodgify is PMS + website builder. On cost, the published figure is ~$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 need a comprehensive property management system and a strong booking website builder. Its extensive features make it a powerful tool for those looking to manage multiple listings.
Our take
Lodgify provides a wide range of capabilities for managing rentals. The pricing structure ranges from approximately $16 to $59 per rental per month, with an additional 1.9% fee on the Starter plan. While the booking site builder is noted as a strength, that additional fee on the Starter plan could offset potential savings for owners.
How it compares to BnBGenius
Side by side on published terms: Lodgify lists ~$16–$59/rental/mo (+1.9% fee on Starter), 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
Lodgify is a feature-rich option for property management and website building. For owners prioritising a truly owner-first approach, BnBGenius remains our top recommendation.

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:
- DPGO — $18/listing/mo, or 0.5%/booking, or $1/night; 30-day trial.
- Akia — Not published (Talk to Sales).
- Uplisting — £72/mo flat (1–5); £16/unit (6–40).
