Which STR management software

[Nikky Jarvis]

I'm new to STR and trying to figure out how to simplify the process and hopefully be less hands on. I find it overwhelming checking my phone all the time for any message from Airbnb. I would like to know the difference between Hostfully and Guesty - any pros and cons for each, including cost. Someone from Hostfully told me they would list my STR on other platforms including direct booking sites. I'll appreciate any suggestions.

Thanks!

Hey Nikki - Just FYI, Lodgify and some other apps won't give you access to your guest data, a vital resource for targeted advertising and marketing strategy.  When you get your demos, ask about data sharing and make them be specific.  Also, the comments above about not spreading thin until you're ready are correct.  For people with near perfect websites and highly optimized listings, multiple OTAs are a great strategy.  If your website hasn't been refreshed/audited lately and your listings haven't been optimized, you're investing money in the wrong place.  That's how I would prioritize.  Best of luck!!!
