Hostfully's price is 99 dollars per month for 1-4 listings. If you pay annually (one lump payment for the year) it comes down to 90 dollars per month for your 1-4 listings. 5-10 listings are 189 dollars per month. We are with freetobook and with all the add-ons we need to run our business it is only $16 dollars per month for our 4 listings - total cost. We have trouble justifying the other PMS providers' cost for a few more bells and whistles.
@@OptimizeMyAirbnb I'd really like this! I am sorry to see you haven't made one. One big thing I'm thinking about is that Hostaway gets the guests' actual email addresses, which can then be used in the future for direct marketing. At least that's what they say! I haven't found anyone else yet that says that, but I'm looking!
@@OptimizeMyAirbnb Also, Hostaway supposedly makes all your pages on all the channels. I don't know if that's true or they do a good job or other PMS's do it, but that time savings could be worth the up front fee.
Hi Daniel, Thank you for your videos which are very interesting. I’ve been looking for a PMS like Guesty, Hostfully and Lodgify and because of the prices and the functionality am about to go with Hostfully but what would be your recommendation? I manage 4 houses with 5 rooms each and one studio in a hotel in between Cancun and Riviera Maya, Mexico. Also I’m trying to grow and have two or three houses in the pipeline for the next three months and the 1st objective is to get 20 this year and continue growing with houses that generate at least USD 15k per year.
@@OptimizeMyAirbnb Hi, I just had a demo with hostfully and they told me that they can't send messages to the vrbo platform. SMS and email only. They can send them to Airbnb. Soon ( next week)you can also send them to Booking but no now
What is your favorite Vacation Rental software?
Uplisting and frontdeskmaster are best for now, professionals, passed all of them last week.
Great review - recommend summarizing your top 10 findings upfront, then go into the detailed review for folks who don't have time.
Great idea, thank you!
Super rad review dude. I started using hostfully so far super happy with it.
Ya, they seem super robust

Interesting, I'll have a look at that one. Do you mind providing your Airbnb profile link? I'd like to have a look
Phenomenal review I think it’s due for an update though with the pricing thanks for sharing this
Thanks! I'll keep in mind doing an update💪
The second dot on the booking is for when you have a hold on the property the second dot will show.
thank you!
Hay do you know about little hotelier thinking of switching to them.
Haven't used them yet

Thanks for this! They're actually on my list and based on your comment I'll move them up in priority.@@Celainen
the price has changed substantially since this was made. It is now $119 per month (for up to 5 proprties) or a 10% discount for annual payment
Thank you for clarifying! I'll add to the text
very helpful! thanks for the content!
Thank you for the comment!
Your pricing stated annually but is monthly for PMS?
What do you mean?
Do you think a PMS system is necessary when you only have 1 airbnb and are onsite?
Yes, to automated messaging at the very least. You woudn't need a robust PMS.
Any recommendations on dynamic pricing tools?

It sounds like Hostfully is the clear winner choice for your situation
Can messages be automated directly to chats on platforms like VRBO? or can you only send messages via emails and sms?
They can be automated direclty via chats to the platforms

Had a call with guestly today, even sales team very bad :) not good company
Yeah, customer service has to improve
What did you find bad about them? Lack experience? Not polite?
