Which one is for you
Pick Guesty if
- Fits if you run 1 to 3 listings now and expect to grow into a management company
- Works for teams answering Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com guests from one inbox
Look elsewhere if
- Pricey if you add extras: LocksManager, damage protection and analytics cost more, and so do GuestyPay and trust accounting on Pro
- Tight if you want more than Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com on Lite, as the 60+ other channels need Pro
- Not for you if you want a published price past 3 listings, because Pro and Enterprise are quote only
- Watch out: the $20 yearly price is marked as a limited-time offer, and the $9 plan adds 1% of every booking
- Skip it if you want a free plan, as there's only a 14-day trial of Lite
Pick Track if
- Fits if you run 50 or more units and need trust accounting built in
- Works for operators who want distribution, payments and reporting under one vendor
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you have a few homes, because it's aimed at fifty to five hundred units
- Watch out: the pricing page shows no prices at all
- Tight if you want a trial, as none is listed
- Watch out: it isn't clear which of the named products come with the main system
- Not for you if you need a mobile app, since none was found on the site
How we grade them
| 2.4GPAGuestyFair | 2.0GPATrackFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CThe 1% plan is $9 a listing a month plus 1% of each booking, so about $29 for a listing taking $2,000. The flat price is $20 billed yearly, under this category's $25.52 middle, or $29 monthly, above it. From 4 listings it's Pro, and that's quote only. | CNo price is published; the pricing page carries only a broken template placeholder. Graded in the middle until a number is on record. |
| Free plan and trial | CA 14-day trial of Guesty Lite with no card needed. There's no free plan, so after two weeks you're paying. | FNo free plan and no trial are on record in the listing, so there is nothing to try before paying. |
| Features | BChannel sync, a multi-calendar, one inbox with drafted AI replies, cleaning tasks after checkout, a booking site and an open API, with owner statements and revenue management on Pro.

No gap in the core job shows in the listing. |
| Ease of use | CGuesty rates 4.2 on the US App Store from 566 ratings, which puts it at C on our ease ladder. | CNo store rating on record, and a suite split into many named products takes setup. |

There's no desktop app, and Lite reaches only three channels. | BWeb only, with an API and BI connections through its reporting layer. No mobile app was found. |

More comparisons
How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
