Best PMS for someone looking to scale a STR Property Management Company

[Marcus Jones]

Looking to see what the best recommendation for a Channel Manager/PMS for running this as a business. Here's what I got going on so far

Created my Company "Coastal Sunrises" which focuses on STR Management/co-hosting, and am in the building process right now for my systems and I'm essentially looking to build every one of them to scale with so I am okay with taking a hit to profits immediately if that means paying employees/va's while I'm not managing a ton of properties. The focus points for me right now are deciding what to include in my tech stack that's not going to break the bank in the future as well as includes professional features not just a user friendly interface like some other PMS.

I'm between these 3 currently. 

- Hostfully(seems to be most cheap)

- Uplisting(seems to be the most professional)

- Hospitable(most friendly UI & the only one I currently have experience with)

     Biggest con for me is lacking in ai for messaging which they've denied integrations with developers. I'm looking to lean into automations with AI using either Host Ai or getbesty AI.

Thanks for your help!

I use Hospitable to manage my STR's. I love it. Never had any issues with the automatic messaging, accidental double bookings, etc. It integrates very well with many other programs (Resort Cleaning, Pricelabs, Smartlocks like the Schlage Encode, etc).

It is not based in the US, so some of the language of the templated messages can be a little off, but I think you should tweak your messages to suit your style and property, regardless of the platform you use.
