IGMS, Hostaway vs. Lodgify vs RMS for 2 Airbnbs?
This is a question for all the short term hosts out there... in you experience/opinion for a host that has 2 - 5 units what is the best Vacation rental software to use? I have seen some previous threads on here about this topic but Airbnb recently has added some functions possibly making certain software less attractive? For example the automated messaging function, airbnb now has messaging that can be done automatically and pulls in date/guest name and other details of the reservation.
Im currently using IGMS and for 2 props its $57 for the plus plan. Hostaway seems expensive I have seen different prices online.
I would like the following in a software: a calendar my cleaner can reference(which it does), automated messaging, automated reviews and financial reports. I don't wish to cross book on VRBO since I tried that and IGMS seems to have blocked out the dates on the calendar after a guest booked trough VRBO so I made that listing on VRBO inactive. Any thoughts on what the best software might be?

I wish this forum gave you option to send Emoji's because I just LOL on this one. Thanks for the laugh Luke!
I too, rolled on the floor and cradled my stomach laughing so hard! lolx. Good analogy.
