Which one is for you
Pick Lodgify if
- Fits if you rent out a few homes and want bookings through your own website
- Works for hosts who handle reservations and guest replies from a phone
Look elsewhere if
- Watch out: we couldn't read Lodgify's prices, and figures on other sites disagree, so check before you commit
- Tight if you list beyond Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com, the only booking sites its app listings name
- Watch out: cleaning and maintenance tasks need the Ultimate plan, according to the app listing
- Not for you if you report to owners or want a built-in pricing tool, as neither is on record
- Skip it if you want a free plan, as there's only a 7-day trial
Pick OwnerRez if
- Fits if you take direct bookings and want guests to sign a rental agreement online
- Works for teams of any size, since staff logins are unlimited at no charge
Look elsewhere if
- Pricey if you need the extras: property management from $10, a website from $15, QuickBooks from $10 and Rezzy AI $9 a property
- Watch out: SMS is $15 a month per number, with 500 outgoing segments included and 1.5 cents each after that
- Skip it if you want an app from the App Store or Google Play, as it's a web app installed from the browser
- Tight if you have just one property, as $40 a month sits at the dear end of this category
- Watch out: billing is monthly by credit card only, and there's no free plan after the 14-day trial
How we grade them
| 2.2GPALodgifyFair | 2.4GPAOwnerRezFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CNo price is on record. Lodgify's pricing page turned our reader away with a bot check and third-party figures disagree, so we can't set it against this category's $25.52 middle. Check the price on its site before you sign up. | C$40 a month for one property, right at this category's dearer quarter ($40), where the middle is $25.52. It falls per property as you grow, $88 at 5 and $127 at 10, but owner statements from $10, a website from $15 and Rezzy at $9 a property are extra. |
| Free plan and trial | CA 7-day free trial with no card needed. There's no free plan, and a week is short for connecting channels and building a website. | CA 14-day trial in which everything, premium features included, is free. There's no free plan, and the listing doesn't say whether a card is needed to start. |
| Features | CChannel sync, a direct booking website, one inbox with saved replies, bookings from your phone and a guest app. The gaps show in the listing: only Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com are named, cleaning tasks need Ultimate, and no owner statements or pricing tool are on record. | BChannel sync, quotes, bookings, payments, signed rental agreements, one inbox for email, SMS and channel messages, and portals for owners and cleaners, with owner statements and websites as paid extras. That covers the whole job. |
| Ease of use | CNo app-store rating on record. You connect your channel accounts and build a website before it pays off, so there's setup to do. | CNo app-store rating on record, since there's no store app. You connect channels and set up agreements and triggers in the browser, which takes some learning. |
| Platforms and integrations | BWeb, iPhone and Android, with a separate guest app. Its connections are Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com, no API is on record, and there's no desktop app. | BA web app you can install from the browser, with QuickBooks, WordPress, an API and an MCP link for Claude and ChatGPT. There's no App Store or Google Play app and no desktop app. |
| Best for | hosts who want their own direct booking website | owners who take direct bookings with signed agreements |

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.
