Which one is for you
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
Pick Uplisting if
- Fits if your bookings are seasonal and you'd rather pay per booking than every month
- Works for small operators with 5 to 40 short-term rentals
Look elsewhere if
- Pricey if you have one property: the flat plan is $51 a month, and Pay As You Go takes 3% of every booking
- Tight if you grow: Independent Host stops at 4 properties, Pay As You Go at 10, and past 40 it's a sales quote
- Watch out: add-ons are priced in pounds so far, from £40 a month for client statements to £1.25 per ID check
- Watch out: AI beyond 100 actions a month is a £49-a-month add-on on Independent Host and Operator
- Not for you if you want yearly billing on a small plan, as it's offered only on Operator and Manager

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.
