iGMS review (2026): is it worth $20 a month?
Short-term rental software with a pay-per-booked-night plan
Our verdict
Second of our top three vacation rental tools
For: Seasonal hosts who would rather pay per booked night
iGMS syncs Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com and Expedia, puts guest messages in one inbox with AI-suggested replies and gives cleaners and co-hosts their own access. FLEX charges $1 a booked night with a $20 minimum per property a month, after a 14-day trial with no card, and its App Store app averages 4.7 from 613 ratings. It is second because there is no free plan, the owner portal needs PRO at $38 a property billed yearly, owner statements and dynamic pricing need PRO+ at $56, dynamic pricing works in six countries only, and a listing on several sites counts separately unless grouped.

Best for hosts who'd rather pay per booked night
iGMS syncs Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com and Expedia, gathers guest messages in one inbox with AI-suggested replies and gives cleaners and co-hosts their own access. FLEX charges $1 a booked night with a $20 minimum per property, while the owner portal needs PRO and owner statements and dynamic pricing need PRO+ at $56 a property. That dynamic pricing works in six countries only.
Who iGMS is for
- 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
Who iGMS is not for
- 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
Why iGMS gets a 2.6
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- CValue for moneyFLEX is $1 a booked night with a $20 minimum per property a month, between this category's cheaper quarter ($15.99) and middle ($25.52); a listing booked 25 nights pays $25. Owner statements need PRO+ at $56 a property billed yearly.
- CFree plan and trialA 14-day trial with no card needed. There's no free plan: the site mentions a Free Plan pilot, but the pricing page doesn't offer it.
- BFeaturesChannel sync with Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com, Expedia and TripAdvisor, one inbox with AI replies, cleaning and team access, direct bookings, an owner portal, owner statements and dynamic pricing. The whole job is there, spread across three plans.
- BEase of useiGMS rates 4.7 on the US App Store from 613 ratings, which puts it at B on our ease ladder.
- BPlatforms and integrationsWeb, iPhone and Android, with Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com, Expedia, Google Vacation Rentals and pricing tools like PriceLabs connected. No desktop app, and no API is on record.

Keep iGMS, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace iGMS you would be making two-way connections to Airbnb, Booking.com and Vrbo. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 2.6 is higher than 8 of the 10 other vacation rental tools we grade. It costs $240 a year.
What you could make
- Tasks and reports: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- Two-way connections to Airbnb, Booking.com and Vrbo.
- One mailbox that several people work at once.
- A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
- It plugs into other products, Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com among them.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. iGMS’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
What is iGMS?
iGMS is short-term rental software for independent hosts and property managers on Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com. It keeps calendars in sync, gathers guest messages into a unified inbox with AI-suggested replies, automates messages, and gives cleaners and co-hosts their own access. Higher plans add a direct booking website, an owner portal and, on PRO+, dynamic pricing and owner statements.
Worth knowing
- 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.
