Hosty vs iGMS (2026): which should you pick?

Pick Hosty if

• Fits if you manage listings across several Airbnb accounts
• Works for hosts who hand out cleaning tasks to a team

Look elsewhere if

• Pricey if you add listings, since you pay per active listing
• Skip it if you mostly use other channels, as it's built around Airbnb
• Tight if you want to cancel online, because you email the vendor
• Watch out: the tier table uses icons, so check which plan has dynamic pricing and payments before buying

Pick iGMS if

• Fits if your rentals sit empty some months and you'd rather pay per booked night
• Works for Airbnb hosts adding Vrbo and Booking.com who want one inbox

Look elsewhere if

• Pricey if you want owner statements or dynamic pricing, which need PRO+ at $56 a property a month billed yearly
• Watch out: dynamic pricing works only in the US, Canada, Australia, Mexico, the UK and Spain
• Watch out: a listing on several sites counts as separate properties unless you group them
• Tight if you pay yearly with under 10 properties: it's charged up front, and leaving early bills you the monthly price
• Not for you if you want a free plan, as the Free Plan pilot the site mentions isn't on the pricing page

Hosty

• Built mainly around Airbnb; other platforms connect through the channel manager.
• The price is per active, listed listing, so it rises with each listing you add.
• Cancelling is done by emailing the vendor and takes effect on the next billing date.
• The pricing page marks tier features with icons that are not readable as text, so check which tier includes the tools you need.

iGMS

• After the first property, iGMS charges only for properties booked at least once that month; listings on several sites count separately unless grouped.
• Annual plans under 10 properties are charged up front, and cancelling early switches you to monthly prices for the months used.
• Dynamic pricing on PRO+ is offered only in the US, Canada, Australia, Mexico, the UK and Spain.
• The site mentions a Free Plan pilot at $0 a month with a 4% fee on direct payments, but the pricing page does not offer it.
