The Best Direct Booking Websites for Short-Term Rentals (2026)

For most hosts and small operators with 1–50 units, the best direct booking setup in 2026 is HostPort: a booking page on a free-forever plan, paid into your own Stripe account, synced with your Airbnb, Booking.com and Vrbo calendars, with optional real-time API sync at a flat $10 per listing per month.

TL;DR

• Best overall for small hosts: HostPort. $0 direct booking page, you are the merchant of record. Add two-way API sync per listing for $10/month only where you need it.
• Watch the fee stack. Hostaway adds a 1.8% guest fee on US direct bookings, Hospitable charges 1% (Basic) or 4% + 3% (Premium), and Hostfully Growth charges 0.85% plus a 1% gateway fee. On $5,000 of direct revenue per listing, percentage fees can cost more per year than a flat sync fee.
• Need a full branded multi-page site with blog, SEO and marketing tools? Use a dedicated builder (OwnerRez hosted sites, Lodgify, Houfy Premium, WordPress with a booking plugin) or a done-for-you agency (Boostly). Budget for it, and remember no site creates demand by itself.

#Booking page vs booking website: which do you need?

A booking page is one or more pages where a guest sees photos, a live calendar and a price, then pays. You share its link with repeat guests, on social media, in your Google Business Profile and in your email signature.

A booking website is a full branded site on your own domain. It has a home page, property pages, an area guide, a blog, SEO controls and marketing tools, with a booking engine built in.

Most small hosts start with a booking page. Move to a full website when you have repeat demand, a brand name guests search for, and time or budget to create content.

#Quick answer: best direct booking tools by host type

#Why direct bookings matter in 2026

OTA fees keep rising.

• Airbnb: most hosts now pay a single host-only fee of 15.5% of the booking subtotal. Per Hostfully's fee guide, it became mandatory for US and Canadian PMS-connected hosts on 27 October 2025 and for remaining software-connected hosts on 13 April 2026; per Rental Scale-Up, hosts without software are moving country by country, with Peru and South Korea on 25 May 2026 and Germany and the UK on 22 June 2026. On $5,000 of bookings, Airbnb keeps $775.
• Airbnb direct booking links: Skift reported on 29 August 2026 that Airbnb is testing links that cut the host fee to 6%–10% on bookings made through a link you share, based on Airbnb messages to US hosts titled "Share your link, get a lower fee." Airbnb has not published a help article or terms for the pilot, and it is still an Airbnb booking.
• Vrbo: pay-per-booking hosts pay 5% commission plus 3% payment processing, about 8% in total. Guests also pay a traveller service fee.
• Booking.com: Houst's 2026 host fee guide puts commission at 10%–25% with a "global average around 15%," and says Preferred Partner adds about 3% more, "bringing the total to around 18%." Genius discounts raise the effective cost further.

A direct booking costs you card processing only. Stripe's standard US rate is 2.9% + 30¢ per transaction. On a $1,000 stay, that is about $29 versus $155 on Airbnb's host-only fee.

You own the guest relationship. On a direct booking you hold the guest's email and phone number and can invite them back. Airbnb's policy bans using guest contact details from Airbnb bookings for marketing.

Direct guests are worth more. Lodgify's 2026 industry data, based on 1.6 million bookings, found direct bookings produced 45.2% longer stays than OTA bookings.

What small hosts actually get from direct:

• The Host Report, covering Key Data's Q2 2026 figures, says direct bookings "fell to 23% of reservations and 35% of revenue, down from 26% and 39% a year ago." Key Data's later US Summer Index (finalised Q2 2026, 1.3M properties) is lower still: 21% of reservations and 29% of revenue, down from 25% and 36%. These figures skew towards professional managers who report data.
• In Lodgify's 2026 data, 70% of operators had a direct booking website, yet 62% generated less than 25% of bookings through direct channels, and 18% received no direct bookings at all.
• Touch Stay surveyed 1,204 guests: 95% were open to booking direct to save 10%–15%, but 26% said it depended on trusting the host.
• Hostaway's 2025 Summer Snapshot found 37.5% of operators grew direct bookings year on year.

The honest takeaway: a booking site converts guests you already have. It does not create demand. Expect direct to start with repeat guests and referrals, then grow slowly. Anyone promising a fixed share of direct bookings is making a marketing claim.

#The four types of direct booking solution

#1. Booking page bundled with a PMS or channel manager

Examples: HostPort, Guesty Booking Engine, Hostaway basic Booking Website, Smoobu, Beds24, Zeevou.

• Pros: cheapest option, live availability from the same calendar that feeds your OTAs, fast to set up.
• Cons: limited design and SEO control. Your site lives with the software you use.

#2. Full website builder bundled with a PMS

Examples: Lodgify, OwnerRez Hosted Sites, Hostfully, Hostaway Booking Website Pro, Uplisting, Hospitable Direct, iGMS Bookable Website, Tokeet/Webready.

• Pros: multi-page site, custom domain, better SEO, same calendar as your OTAs.
• Cons: you pay for the PMS as well. Some charge a % on direct bookings. Templates look alike. The site usually does not move with you if you switch PMS.

#3. Dedicated direct-booking marketing platforms on top of a PMS

Examples: Boostly, Bookerville, Lodgix, CraftedStays, WordPress or Wix with a booking plugin or PMS widget (MotoPress Hotel Booking, WP Booking System, OwnerRez WordPress plugin).

• Pros: most design and marketing control, blogs, email capture, upsells.
• Cons: highest cost and effort. Often requires a paid PMS underneath. Plugins that sync by iCal only raise double-booking risk.

#4. Marketplaces that send direct-style bookings

Examples: Houfy, Google Vacation Rentals, HomeToGo, Whimstay, Hipcamp.

• Pros: exposure to new guests at low or zero commission.
• Cons: you do not fully own the channel. Google Vacation Rentals only lists individually owned rentals through an integrated partner or a registered property management business with a direct booking site.

Trade-off in one line: the more control you want over design, SEO and marketing, the more you pay and the more work you do.

#The tools, reviewed

#1. HostPort — best overall for small hosts and operators

What it is: a short-term rental PMS and channel manager for hosts and small operators. The direct booking page is included on every plan, including the free one.

Pricing:

• Free forever ($0, no card, no time limit): unlimited listings on iCal sync, unified calendar, web and iOS/Android apps, direct booking page.
• Pro ($10 per synced listing per month): two-way real-time API sync with Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo, Expedia, Agoda and Hipcamp, linked calendars, unified inbox, automated messaging, team, co-host and cleaner permissions, and a PriceLabs integration. No contract, no setup fee. You pay only for listings you switch sync on for, month to month.
• Guarantee: HostPort advertises a 90-day money-back guarantee on Pro.

Direct booking specifics:

• Payments go through the host's own Stripe account. Funds settle to your bank and HostPort does not hold the money. You are the merchant of record.
• On Pro, HostPort says a booking blocks dates across channels in under one second. On Free, OTA calendars update through iCal, which OTAs poll on their own schedules.
• You can import iCal feeds from any other platform or your own separate website for free.

Strengths: the only tool in this list with a $0 direct booking page and host-held funds. Flat pricing you can predict. Simple to set up, with HostPort citing under 30 minutes per listing. Hands-on support.

Limits: it is a booking page, not a multi-page website builder. The following direct booking page capabilities are not publicly documented. Confirm with HostPort before relying on them:

• custom domain support
• branding and theme control
• SEO controls (titles, meta, schema, sitemaps)
• multi-property search
• promo codes and discounts
• deposits, security deposits and damage protection
• rental agreements and e-sign
• guest ID verification
• upsells and add-ons
• Google Vacation Rentals free booking links
• analytics and pixel support (GA4, Meta)
• multi-currency and languages

Verdict: the best starting point for 1–50 units who want a simple direct booking page that stays in sync with their OTAs. Turn on API sync for your busiest listings.

#2. OwnerRez (Hosted Sites or WordPress plugin)

• Pricing: $40/month for the first property, $15 each for properties 2–3, $10 for the 4th, $8 each for 5–9, $7 each for 10–19, and $6 each for 20–49.
• Hosted Site add-on: $15 for the first property, $5 for the 2nd, $3 each for 3–9, $2 each for 10–19, and $1 each for 20–199. The WordPress plugin with integrated sites starts at $10.
• Fees: no booking commission, a position OwnerRez states strongly.
• Strengths: deep features, including digital signatures in the base plan. Strong reputation for support, with 9.8/10 for quality of support on G2.
• Weaknesses: you pay for the PMS plus the site. It has a real learning curve. One BiggerPockets host reported paying $80/month and still needing someone to finish the site and handle SEO.

#3. Lodgify

• Pricing: Lodgify's pricing page lists four plans (Basic, Starter, Professional, Ultimate), all showing a 0% booking fee. Basic has no website. Starter adds the website builder and booking widget and is limited to 2 properties. Capterra lists $14, $26, $42 and $62 per month (annual billing, 1 property).
• Fees: older plans charged a 1.9% booking fee on Starter, applied to all bookings including OTA bookings. If you are on a legacy plan, check your billing screen.
• Google Vacation Rentals: from the Professional plan.
• Dynamic pricing: Lodgify's own dynamic pricing carried a 0.8% fee per booking where enabled. It is now advertised as included on top plans.
• Payments: Lodgify Payments, Stripe or PayPal. No setup fee.
• Weaknesses: heavy promotional discounting makes the true renewal price hard to pin down. Sites look template-driven. Your site is tied to Lodgify.

#4. Hospitable (Direct)

• Pricing: Essentials is free but has no direct site. Host is from $29/month for 1 property. Professional (includes Direct Booking Website) is from $59/month for 2 properties plus $15 per extra property. Mogul is from $99/month for 3 properties and adds custom branding. Annual billing saves 12%.
• Direct transaction fee: 1% on Basic. Premium is 4% + 3%: a 4% guest fee plus a 3% host fee, or 7% host-only.
• Premium-only features: $5M damage protection, chargeback protection, guest vetting, US tax calculation and remittance, multilingual guest journey and Google Vacation Rentals listing.
• Other costs: security deposits carry a 2% processing fee. Guest vetting costs $8 for full verification or $2 for an ID check.
• Weaknesses: no single-property plan with a direct site. Percentage fees on every direct booking. On Premium, Hospitable is merchant of record, so you do not control funds or the payment relationship.

#5. Hostfully

• Growth: from $15 per property per month plus a platform fee, with a 1% payment gateway fee and a 0.85% direct booking fee.
• Pro: from $25 per property per month plus a platform fee, with no gateway fee and no commission on direct bookings.
• Unpublished costs: the platform fee is not published, so the true price is quote-dependent.
• Weaknesses: a Capterra reviewer complained, "they take 1% of every direct booking, so don't let them lie & say they charge a flat fee." Setup scores lower than OwnerRez on G2 (7.5 vs 8.6).

#6. Guesty (Booking Engine and Websites)

• Pricing: Guesty Lite covers 1–3 listings from $9/month per listing on its LiteOptimizer offer, with third-party trackers citing $20 (annual) to $29 (monthly) per listing. Pro and Enterprise are quote-only.
• Direct booking: the Booking Engine is free for all Guesty users. The Basic Website is free, and the Advanced Website is a paid upgrade.
• Weaknesses: quote-only pricing above 3 listings. Capterra users often cite price increases and unclear pricing.

#7. Hostaway (Booking Website and Booking Website Pro)

• Pricing: the basic Booking Website is included with a Hostaway subscription, which is quote-only. Booking Website Pro costs $49/month plus a 0.5% reservation fee on Pro bookings.
• Fees: a 1.8% Booking Engine (guest service) fee applies to US listings using Stripe, including Google Vacation Rentals bookings finalised on the site. Listings in Canada, the UK, Europe and the rest of the world pay a 0.5% host processing fee instead. You can pass the 1.8% to guests or absorb it.
• Weaknesses: OwnerRez's page "Leaving Hostaway because of the new 1.8% Booking Fee?" says the fee "shocked the industry," quoting Hostaway's website as of 12/16/2024: "This fee is part of our ongoing commitment to driving more direct bookings." A guest fee undercuts the main reason to book direct. The PMS is priced for professional managers.

#8. Uplisting

• Pricing: pay-as-you-go at £0/month plus 3% commission per booking for up to 4 properties (1.5% for 5–10), or a flat monthly plan. One comparison cites about $51/month flat.
• Fees: the direct site is commission-free on flat plans. On pay-as-you-go the percentage applies to bookings generally.
• Features: eSign rental agreements, guest ID verification and security deposits (Uplisting Protect).
• Weaknesses: priced in GBP. A "Pro direct booking site" and multilingual sites are listed as coming soon. One Capterra reviewer found it "more geared to European customers."

#9. Smoobu

• Pricing: Professional Flex is €29/month with a 0.9% booking fee. Prepaid plans start around €28–€35 per property per month with no booking commission.
• Direct booking: the website and booking engine are included at no extra cost. Custom CSS and conversion tracking tags are supported.
• Weaknesses: priced in euros. Automation and reporting are lighter than bigger PMSs.

#10. iGMS

• Pricing: FLEX costs $1 per booked night (minimum $20 per property per month) and includes direct bookings but not the Bookable Website. PRO costs $48/month monthly or $38 annual for 1 property, falling to $19.80 per property monthly at 5 properties, and adds the Bookable Website.
• Weaknesses: the full website requires PRO. Per-property costs are high for a single listing.

#11. Beds24

• Pricing: from €15.50/month plus €0.55 per channel link per month. A booking website and commission-free booking engine are included. Private label costs €19/month.
• Weaknesses: priced in euros, with a steep learning curve and a dated interface. Best for technical users.

#12. Tokeet (and Webready)

• Pricing: Tokeet prices per rental, about $13.49 per rental at 10 rentals on monthly billing. Webready, Tokeet's separate website builder, costs $14.99 per rental per month for 1–5 rentals ($11.99 yearly) with no booking fees.
• Not verified: whether Tokeet's built-in "Website Builder" is Webready. Budget separately.

#13. Zeevou

• Pricing: the "Forever Free" plan is £0/month for unlimited properties with a direct booking website and 0% direct booking fee. Zeevou earns from a network fee on cross-host bookings (amount not published) and premium features.
• Weaknesses: priced in GBP. Paid tiers are not visible without the site's calculator.

#14. Bookerville

• Pricing: $66.55/month for 1 property, $114.18/month for 10. Commission-free online booking. Payments use your own PayPal or merchant account.
• Weaknesses: expensive for one unit and a dated look. Channel management runs through third-party connectors.

#15. Lodgix

• Pricing: $79.99/month for 1–7 properties. There is a 0.5% fee on Airbnb and Vrbo reservations and 2% on other channels, with no fee on website or phone bookings.
• Website options: a free WordPress plugin, where you supply WordPress and hosting, or a done-for-you site at $1,999 one-time plus $49.99/month.
• Weaknesses: percentage fees on OTA bookings. The WordPress route needs technical skills.

#16. Boostly

• What it is: a done-for-you WordPress site, CRM and marketing coaching that sits on top of your PMS.
• Pricing: $97/month or $800/year plus a one-time setup fee of $3,000–$6,000.
• Guarantee: Boostly claims hosts who follow its plan reach 65% direct bookings in 12 months or get a refund plus $1,000. Treat this as a marketing guarantee with conditions.
• Weaknesses: you still need a paid PMS. One OwnerRez forum user reported paying $4,000 onboarding and receiving "a website with no SEO", with the onboarding fee not refunded. A Software Advice reviewer reported price rises from £9.99 to £25 to £97 per site per month with under two weeks' notice.

#17. Houfy

• Pricing: the Free plan has a one-time $5.99 host verification fee. Lite is $7.99/listing/month. Premium is $11.99/listing/month and adds the AI website builder, custom domains, free SSL and white-label options.
• Fees: 0% host commission. A 5% API connection fee applies to bookings made through certain PMS integrations.
• Weaknesses: Houfy's own blog is the main source for its claims. Airbnb pricing import does not work with Airbnb Smart Pricing or import promotions.

#18. WordPress, Wix and Squarespace with booking plugins or widgets

• MotoPress Hotel Booking: $139/year for one site, $199/year for a bundle with 9 add-ons, or $499 lifetime.
• WP Booking System: $59/year (Personal) or $95/year (Business).
• Syncing: both sync with OTAs by iCal, which is slower and less reliable than API sync.
• Squarespace and Wix: hosts usually embed a PMS widget (OwnerRez, Hostfully, Lodgify, Guesty) or link out to a booking page.
• Weaknesses: you maintain hosting, plugins, security and speed yourself.

#19. Google Vacation Rentals

• How it works: Google says its free booking links can send travellers to a partner's booking site with no referral fee.
• Eligibility: individually owned rentals cannot enrol directly. You need to be a registered property management business with a direct booking website, or be listed on a booking site integrated with Google. Shared rooms, partial houses and peer-to-peer rentals are not eligible for integration. Most small hosts get on through their PMS.
• Traction: Lodgify reported Google Vacation Rentals booking volume grew 72% in 2024 across its customers.

#Detailed comparison table

"Not verified" means we could not confirm it from the vendor's public pages in September 2026.

#When a dedicated website builder or marketing platform is the better choice

HostPort's direct booking page is a booking page. Choose a dedicated builder if you need:

• A full branded multi-page site on your own domain with area guides, an "about us" page and policies pages
• Blog and SEO content to rank for local searches
• Advanced design control beyond a standard layout
• Marketing tools like email capture pop-ups, abandoned-booking emails, upsells at checkout and ad pixels

Strongest options:

• OwnerRez Hosted Sites or WordPress plugin: best value for a full site with no booking fees, if you accept the OwnerRez PMS and its learning curve.
• Lodgify: easiest all-in-one template builder, 0% fee on current plans.
• Houfy Premium: cheapest branded site with a custom domain ($11.99/listing/month).
• WordPress + MotoPress or WP Booking System: maximum control for DIY hosts, iCal sync only.
• Hostaway Booking Website Pro: blog and AI SEO if you already use Hostaway. Watch the 1.8% US guest fee plus 0.5%.
• Boostly: done-for-you build and coaching. The most expensive route, and it still needs a PMS.

You can combine both. Many hosts keep HostPort as their calendar and channel manager and use its free booking page for repeat guests. If you run a separate website with its own booking engine, HostPort can import that site's iCal feed for free.

#The feature checklist that actually matters

#Legal and trust essentials for direct bookings

• Registration and licence numbers:
  • EU: Regulation (EU) 2024/1028 applies from 20 May 2026. Where a registration scheme exists, hosts must display their registration number in each listing and give it to guests, and platforms must verify and display it.
  • Elsewhere: Scotland's licensing scheme and the NSW short-term rental register also require numbers in advertising. Italy requires its CIN on listings.
  • Your own site: put the number on your direct booking page too. Local rules on advertising often apply beyond OTAs.
• Taxes on direct bookings: OTAs often collect and remit lodging taxes for you. On direct bookings, you usually must collect and remit them yourself. Hospitable Premium offers US tax calculation and remittance. Most booking pages leave it to you.
• Card security: use Stripe or another PCI-compliant processor so card data never touches your systems.
• Chargebacks and fraud: as merchant of record, you bear chargeback risk. Use Stripe Radar, request ID for high-value or last-minute stays where the law allows, keep signed agreements and check-in records, and require a deposit.
• Cancellation policy: show it before payment, in plain language, with exact refund dates.
• Privacy and cookies: publish a privacy policy. If you serve EU or UK guests, add cookie consent before loading analytics or pixels, and follow GDPR for guest data.
• Trust signals: show reviews (with permission), photos matching your OTA listings, a padlock checkout, your real name or business name, and a phone number. Touch Stay's survey found trust, not the discount, is the deciding factor for 26% of guests.

#Total cost comparison: 1, 5, 10 and 25 listings (USD per year)

Assumptions:

• Monthly list prices as published in September 2026.
• Direct revenue of $2,000 or $5,000 per listing per year.
• Card processing is modelled separately because it applies to every tool when you are the merchant.
• HostPort is shown both on Free (iCal) and with Pro API sync on every listing.

#Platform cost plus % fees on direct revenue

*iGMS publishes rates to 20 properties. The 25-listing figure uses the 20-property rate.

How the rows are built:

• OwnerRez: base plus Hosted Site ladders.
• Hospitable: $59 for 2 properties plus $15 per extra property, with a 2-property minimum.
• Hostfully: the platform fee is unpublished.
• Hostaway: subscription is quote-only.
• Lodgify, Guesty and Uplisting: omitted beyond 1 listing because multi-property pricing is calculator- or quote-based. At 1 listing: Lodgify Starter is about $312/year (annual billing), Guesty Lite $240–$348, Uplisting flat about $612.

#Card processing (all tools, host as merchant)

At Stripe's US 2.9% + 30¢, assuming $500 average bookings:

#Where percentage fees overtake flat pricing

• Hostaway's 1.8% on $5,000 of direct revenue costs $90 per listing per year, three-quarters of HostPort's full $120 per-listing API sync fee. That is before Hostaway's own subscription.
• Hostfully Growth vs Pro: Pro costs $120 per property per year more. Growth's 1.85% overtakes that at about $6,500 of direct revenue per property per year.
• Hospitable's 7% Premium on $5,000 is $350 per listing per year in fees alone.
• Against Airbnb: $5,000 via Airbnb's 15.5% host-only fee costs $775. Direct via HostPort costs a small card fee instead. That saves roughly $600 per listing per year, and roughly $6,000 across 10 listings, if those guests would have booked anyway.

#Decision framework

#How to actually get direct bookings

1. Capture repeat guests the right way.

• Direct guests: you own their contact details. Email them after checkout with a return-guest code.
• Airbnb guests: Airbnb bans asking for contact details before booking, soliciting emails through its messaging system, using guest contact info for marketing, and moving current or future bookings off Airbnb. Violations can suspend your account.
• In the property: host tools commonly advise that branded cards or signs with your website URL are acceptable. Do not push them through Airbnb messages. Read Airbnb's policy yourself, because enforcement changes.
• Booking.com: it has similar restrictions on using guest data for marketing. Treat all OTA guest data as off-limits for marketing.

2. Google Business Profile. Create one for your property or brand. Add your booking page link, photos and your registration number where required.

3. Google Vacation Rentals. Enrol through your PMS where offered.

4. Social media. Put your booking page link in your Instagram and Facebook bio. Post real stays, local events and seasonal availability.

5. Email. Send 4–6 emails a year to past direct guests: seasonal openings, last-minute gaps, returning-guest rates.

6. Local partnerships. Wedding venues, hospitals (travel nurses), universities, event organisers and local businesses with visiting staff. Offer a direct rate code.

7. Realistic 12-month expectations.

• Months 1–3: set up, test, share with past direct guests and friends. Expect a handful of bookings.
• Months 4–9: repeat guests and referrals build. Google profile gets reviews.
• Months 10–12: expect direct to be a minority of bookings. Lodgify's data shows 62% of operators with a site still get less than 25% direct. Gains come from repeat guests first.

#Common pitfalls

• Double bookings from iCal-only sites. iCal updates on a schedule. Use API sync for high-demand listings.
• Paying a percentage on your own guests. 1%–7% on repeat guests adds up. Check the fee schedule, not just the monthly price.
• Platform-held funds and slow payouts. If the platform is merchant of record, it controls refunds and payout timing.
• Losing your site when you switch PMS. Own your domain. Know what you can export.
• Poor mobile speed. Slow template sites lose bookings. Test on your phone over mobile data.
• Missing licence numbers or taxes. Fines apply in many jurisdictions. Collect lodging tax on direct bookings where required.
• Weak cancellation terms. Vague policies lead to disputes and chargebacks.
• No deposit or damage cover. OTAs provide some host protection. Direct bookings need your own deposit, waiver or insurance.
• Violating OTA off-platform rules. Never redirect an OTA enquiry or booking to your site.

#Setup checklist

1. Choose your tool and connect your OTA listings (API for busy listings, iCal for the rest).
2. Connect your own Stripe account and verify payouts to your bank.
3. Set rates, minimum stays, cleaning and extra fees to match your OTAs, or price direct slightly lower.
4. Add lodging taxes and levies.
5. Write your cancellation policy, house rules and privacy policy.
6. Add your registration or licence number where required.
7. Upload the same photos and description you use on your OTAs.
8. Set up confirmation and pre-arrival emails.
9. Add your booking link to your Google Business Profile, social bios and email signature.
10. Confirm with your provider which features exist: custom domain, promo codes, deposits, agreements, ID checks.

#"Test before you trust it" checklist

• Make a real test booking end to end on your phone over mobile data.
• Confirm the payment lands in your Stripe account, minus only the card fee.
• Check the dates block on Airbnb, Booking.com and Vrbo within minutes (API) or note the iCal delay.
• Check the guest confirmation email and your host notification arrive.
• Verify taxes, levies and fees calculate correctly on the receipt.
• Cancel the test booking and check the refund amount and calendar release.
• Time mobile checkout. Fix anything that takes more than a few taps or loads slowly.
• Open the page in a private browser window to see what a new guest sees.

#Caveats

• Pricing moves fast. Figures come from vendor pricing pages, help centres and review sites checked in September 2026. Lodgify and Hostfully run frequent promotions. Hospitable's live pricing page did not display prices, so its base prices come from GetApp and Software Advice listings.
• Unpublished costs. Hostfully's platform fee, Hostaway's subscription, Guesty Pro pricing and Zeevou's network fee are not public.
• Currencies. Smoobu, Beds24, Uplisting and Zeevou price in EUR or GBP. We did not convert them.
• Self-reported claims. Several data points come from vendors reporting on themselves (Houfy, Boostly, Futurestay, HostPort's sync-speed claim). Treat them as vendor claims.
• HostPort unknowns. Its direct booking page features beyond those listed above are not publicly documented. Confirm with HostPort before you depend on any of them.
