Ownerrez or Hospitable for STR PMS?

[Bien Nguyen]

I'm curious about anyone's direct experience with either of these 2 STR PMS? My husband and I are under contract with our first STR property and looking for recommendations on PMS. I know some say just use Airbnb and VRBO with only 1 property but I also don't want to be reliant on Airbnb with all the negative feedback I have seen on other STR managers forums in which I follow.

Any recommendations... and what specifically do you love about the PMS you use?  Thanks in advance!

I actually started with Hospitable then moved to OwnerRez.

It really depends on how much functionality you want in your PMS.

I can tell you I loved Hospitable.  Very easy to use, sleek interface, built in support for Schlage Encode locks.

But we needed to collect security deposits and wanted a direct booking site.  OwnerRez provided those so we migrated over.
