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

- 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 SuperControl if

- Makes sense if you run an agency and need tools for owners and properties
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you want a price up front: the cost comes from a calculator and agency pricing is quoted on request
- Pricey if you take many bookings from Airbnb or Booking.com, as owner plans add a 1% service fee on those
- Watch out: owner plans also add a joining fee, and costs are in pounds excluding VAT
- Skip it if you want to try before paying, as no free plan or trial is listed
How we grade them
| 2.2GPALodgifyFair | 2.0GPASuperControlFair | |
|---|---|---|
| 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. | CNo price is published as a flat figure: it is worked out per property in a calculator, in pounds and ex VAT, so we grade it in the middle. |
| 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. | FNo free plan and no trial are on record for this tool. |
| 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. | BBooking engine, channel manager, guest messages, extras, agency tools and reporting cover the whole job of running a let. |
| 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 store rating on record, and you connect booking sites and set up properties before it is useful. |
| 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. | BWeb only, but it links to Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo, Expedia, Cottages.com and TripAdvisor. |
| Best for | hosts who want their own direct booking website | UK self-catering owners and agencies |

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.
