Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.4
GPA, above 36 of the 53 other vacation rental tools we grade
Lodgix is vacation rental software that combines a channel manager, guest messaging, automation, direct bookings and payments. Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com connect directly, and a unified inbox drafts AI replies for the host to approve. Plans differ only by how many properties you manage, and owner accounting and QuickBooks sync are optional add-ons.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about Lodgix, taken from its own pages and our grades.
No store rating on record, and channels and rates need connecting.
- 1
Best for mid-size rental portfolios
Lodgix is a vacation rental system with every feature in every plan, priced by how many properties you have.
- 2
Paid plans start at $79.99 a month
As its pricing page puts it: $79.99 per month for up to 7 properties.
- 3
You can try it first
30-day free trial, no credit card requested
- 4

Web, iOS and Android.

Every guest conversation in one inbox, with AI reply drafts that you approve before they send, and an MCP server for your own AI.
- 7
Automation
Reservation events trigger check-in instructions, reminders, review requests, documents and payment links to guests, owners and staff.
- 8
A 2.4 GPA, above 36 of 53
That is against the other vacation rental tools we grade, on value, the free plan, features, ease of use and platforms.
- 9
Keep it
To replace Lodgix 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 mid-size rental portfolios
Lodgix is a vacation rental system with every feature in every plan, priced by how many properties you have. One property still pays $79.99 a month, and owner accounting and QuickBooks sync are add-ons.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | $79.99 a month for up to 7 properties, about $11 each at full count but the full price for one. It runs to $349.99 for unlimited. |
| Free plan and trial | C | A 30-day free trial with no card requested. There is no free plan. |
| Features | B | Channel manager, inbox with AI drafts, automation, direct booking and payments, and mobile apps are in every plan. Owner statements are an add-on, not a core gap. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record, and channels and rates need connecting. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web plus iOS and Android, with Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com, Expedia, Google Vacation Rentals and QuickBooks. |
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 Lodgix is for
- Fits if you manage 5 to 70 properties and want one price with every feature
- Works for hosts who want a mobile app alongside the web calendar
Who it is not for
- Pricey if you own one rental, as the first tier is $79.99 a month
- Watch out: owner statements and the owner portal need the Property Management add-on
- Watch out: QuickBooks Online sync is a separate add-on
- Watch out: direct Airbnb and Vrbo connections carry a fee the page writes as 1/2%
- Watch out: the cost climbs with property count, to $349.99 for unlimited
Good to know
Good for
- Hosts and small managers who want one published price tied to property count
- Managers who want every feature without choosing between tiers
- Teams that want their own AI tool to answer guests through an MCP server
Worth knowing
- Cost rises with property count, from $79.99 a month for 7 properties to $349.99 for unlimited.
- Owner statements and an owner portal need the Property Management add-on, and QuickBooks Online sync is a separate add-on.
- Direct connections to Airbnb and Vrbo carry a fee that the page writes as 1/2%; bookings through your own website carry none.
- The AI inbox writes reply drafts that the host approves before they send.

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 Lodgix 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 2.4 is higher than 36 of the 53 other vacation rental tools we grade. It costs $959.88 a year.
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, and has an API.
- 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. Lodgix’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.
