Hospitable is the friendliest start for a single host. Its Essentials plan has no monthly fee and still syncs Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com and Agoda into a unified inbox and calendar, with scheduled guest messages and a cleaner marketplace. The Host plan adds automated guest messaging, dynamic pricing at no additional cost, AI guest issue alerts, inventory management and API access. Professional adds a direct booking website with chargeback and damage protection, smart lock and thermostat automations, Google Vacation Rentals and US tax collection, and Mogul adds fully automated messaging with Inbox AI, owner statements and payouts, and built-in accounting or QuickBooks. Paying annually saves 12%, and every plan can be tried free for 14 days. The paid prices are calculated in the browser by property count, so we could not confirm them in USD as plain text and list them as pending. Managers who need owner tools should price the Mogul plan, since that is where owner statements sit.
Who it is for
Solo hosts who want a free unified inbox and calendar, and small teams who want automated messaging and dynamic pricing included.
