Hostfully or Lodgify pros and cons
I currently manage 3 vacation rental properties and have 3 more to potentially add before year end. I am currently handling everything manually with excel but need to stream line processes and listings to make things simpler. If it matters I own 1 and co host 2 and the 3 additional would add another owned and 2 more to co host. Thanks.

Can only speak on lodgify since thats the one I use. I must say overall I love it.
Pros:
1. Affordable: we got the pro version and its $45/month
2. Integrations: It offers all the typical integrations (Airbnb, VRBO, Booking.com, etc) but also offers a Google integration.
3. Support: amazing support team. Any issues that come up are handled fairly quickly.
4. Free website for direct bookings: they have a great website builder that allows you to get direct bookings and save on fees. Look into separate insurance for this though.
Cons
1. Mobile app is buggy: occasionally that app is buggy and will log you out. Overall though, they handle issues if they come up.
2. Fewer features: I used Guesty in the past and have noticed it has fewer features such as integrating automated texts and emails.
3. Onboarding process: the process is a bit laggy and they only offer one meeting for onboarding so make sure to ask all your questions then.
Hope this helps and hopefully someone else chimes in on hostfully.
