Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.2
GPA, above 2 of the 10 other vacation rental tools we grade
Lodgify is vacation rental software for independent hosts and property managers. It syncs bookings and calendars with Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com, gathers guest conversations into one inbox, and builds a direct booking website for the properties. Its apps let hosts edit reservations, send quotes and assign cleaning tasks from a phone, and a separate guest app holds check-in details.
To get you started, here are 8 things to know about Lodgify, taken from its own pages and our grades.
We couldn't read its prices, because its pricing page turned our reader away and figures elsewhere disagree.
- 1
Best for hosts who want their own direct booking website
Lodgify syncs bookings with Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com and builds a direct booking website on the same calendar.
- 2
You can try it first
7-day free trial, no credit card required
- 3
It runs on 3 platforms
Web, iOS and Android.
- 4
Channel sync
Connects Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com so bookings land in one place and every channel's calendar updates automatically to prevent double bookings.
- 5
Direct booking website
Hosts build their own booking website, which is connected to the same calendar and reservations as the listing channels.
- 6
Unified inbox
Guest conversations from every channel sit in one inbox with saved replies, on the web and in the mobile apps.
- 7
A 2.2 GPA, above 2 of 10
That is against the other vacation rental tools we grade, on value, the free plan, features, ease of use and platforms.
- 8
Keep it
To replace Lodgify 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.

The report card
Best for hosts who want their own direct booking website
Lodgify syncs bookings with Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com and builds a direct booking website on the same calendar. We couldn't read its prices, because its pricing page turned our reader away and figures elsewhere disagree. Only those three booking sites are named, and cleaning tasks need the top Ultimate plan.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | No 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. |
| Free plan and trial | C | A 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. |
| Features | C | Channel 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. |
| Ease of use | C | No app-store rating on record. You connect your channel accounts and build a website before it pays off, so there's setup to do. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web, 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. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who Lodgify is for
- 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
Who it is not for
- 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
Good to know
Good for
- Independent hosts who want their own direct booking website
- Owners of a few vacation rentals listed on Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com
- Hosts who handle reservations and guest replies from a phone
Worth knowing
- Lodgify's pricing page and help center turned this site's readers away with a bot check, so prices are not recorded; third-party figures disagree.
- Task management for cleaners and maintenance staff needs the Ultimate plan, according to the app listing.
- The app listings name Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com as the connected booking sites.

We could not confirm Lodgify’s current prices from its own site, so this guide lists no plans. lodgify.com has them.

Where it stands
Its grades against its category, and whether to keep it or make your own
2/10
Other vacation rental tools it is graded above
Lodgify's GPA of 2.2 is higher than 2 of the 10 other vacation rental tools we grade, and level with 2.
It stands best on platforms and integrations (B, above 0 of 10) and worst on features (C, above 0).
Each grade against the category
Every bar is all 11 vacation rental tools we grade, cut by the letter each got. Lodgify’s own letter is outlined.
- CValue for moneyAbove 1 of 10

- BPlatforms and integrationsAbove 0 of 10
Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
To replace Lodgify 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.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 6 of the 10 other vacation rental tools grade higher.
What you could make
- Tasks: an app builder makes this 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.
What this rests on. Lodgify’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.
