Hospitable vs Hosthub (2026): which should you pick?

Pick Hospitable if

• Fits if you host on Airbnb and spend most of your time answering guests
• Works for hosts who want a free plan that doesn't cap the number of properties

Look elsewhere if

• Tight if you stay free: AI is capped at 10 uses a week, and there's no API, integrations, lock control or direct booking
• Pricey if you grow: Host stops at 2 properties, and each extra property costs $10 to $30 a month by plan
• Not for you if you need owner statements without a sales call, since they need Mogul, which is sold through a demo
• Watch out: direct bookings start on Professional and cost 1%, or 4% plus 3% processing, per booking
• Watch out: the free plan gets only AI and community support, and upsells on it carry a 10% fee

Pick Hosthub if

• Fits if you own a few rentals and want a guarantee against double bookings
• Works for hosts who want a unified inbox with automated messages

Look elsewhere if

• Pricey if you have many rentals, as the fee is per rental every month
• Watch out: Pro adds 0.7% of net booking value on top of the per-rental fee
• Watch out: the Revenue Booster ($75 per property per channel), website builder ($799) and booking engine ($599) are paid extras
• Skip it if you want the AI co-host on the cheaper plan, as it is listed under Pro
• Watch out: Pro's per-rental price is not published

Hospitable

• Direct bookings are only on Professional and Mogul, at a 1% commission (Basic) or 4% plus 3% processing (Premium) per booking.
• Owner portals, owner statements and accounting integrations need the Mogul plan, which is sold through a demo.
• Essentials has AI and community support only; API access, integrations and smart devices need a paid plan.

Hosthub

• Pro adds 0.7% of net booking value on top of the per-rental fee.
• The AI co-host is listed under Pro, not Standard.
• The Revenue Booster (75 USD per property per channel), website builder (799 USD) and booking engine (599 USD) are separate paid services.
• The pricing page loads its figures with JavaScript; the tier prices here were read from the script the page uses, and Pro's own per-rental figure was not.
