  • Pros
    • Breezeway's inventory management tool is especially helpful with ensuring you don't run out of consumable products: toiletries, trash bags, light bulbs, batteries, etc. Anything you use can be tracked.
    • Breezeway integrates with most of the leading property management systems.
    • Intuitive and user-friendly app and website.
    • It's nice that the guest messaging feature is an add-on because users may already have other products in their tech stack they utilize for messaging.  It's there if you need it, but you don't have to pay for it if you don't need it.
       
  • Cons
    • Some have reported that the mobile app used by cleaning and maintenance teams in the field can run slowly at times. Breezeway has built a way for team members to download their tasks and work offline, but it is important you train your teams how to use this feature.
    • Don't get carried away! Users of Breezeway, and similar other platforms, should be careful not to create overwhelming cleaning and maintenance checklists for their teams. There are so many options for task creation, requiring photos, etc. that it is easy to get carried away and create checklists with hundreds of items.

  • Pros
    • No setup fees.
    • A great value with a robust set of features that will work for users with only a couple of properties up to those who manage an extensive portfolio.
    • No extra fees for additional users.
    • OwnerRez websites practically build themselves and are great for folks who don’t have the time or inclination to have a stand-alone custom site built.
    • There is an Unofficial OwnerRez Facebook page full of helpful people who are happy to answer questions.  Sometimes this is faster than utilizing customer support.
  • Cons
    • There is a fairly steep learning curve to setting up and learning OwnerRez that intimidates some people and it isn't as intuitive as other platforms.  Once users become familiar with the software this is typically no longer an issue.  If you are easily overwhelmed by technology consider taking advantage of the ProConnect service.
    • Some may consider that it doesn’t have a dedicated mobile app as a disadvantage. Others would say that’s not an issue since the site is responsive and can be saved to your screen like an app.
    • As with all direct booking websites built through property management software templates, if you use the OwnerRez website feature, you will lose your site if you switch to a different PMS.
    • Currently, the telephone support number goes to voicemail and directs you to leave a message or send an email.  It can take 24 hours to receive a reply, but the support is very thorough and will check back to be sure your issue has been resolved.

    • With access to over 200 OTAs (booking channels) Hosthub is a leading channel managers.
    • The Revenue Builder is a huge time saver.  People who would rather outsource connecting their listing to other OTAs will find tremendous value here.  It probably only takes one booking from a new platform to recoup the $75 fee.
    • The websites they build are yours forever and won't be lost if you switch companies.
  • Cons
    • PMS offers basic functionality, but most hosts will need to utilize integrations to add needed features.
    • It would be great if the guest messaging feature included SMS.

  • Pros
    Key Data gathers and anonymizes information directly from hosts via the 50+ property management software systems it integrates with.  This means that if the PMS you're using is integrated with Key Data, they get anonymized information on your occupancy, rates, pacing, etc. They pull this information from all the accounts of all their 50 + PMS partners to create a massive data set. This creates incredibly powerful, nearly real-time information on the short-term rental industry and sets it apart from other market intelligence tools which get their data from OTAs such as Airbnb.  They are able to organize and distill the data into useful tables, graphs, and reports for almost every market worldwide.
    • The Key Data information is nearly real-time
    • The data is gathered directly from hosts and property managers via their PMS, as opposed to being data scrapped from OTA platforms.
    • The Demand IQ and Trip IQ features are unique to KeyData and could be invaluable for property managers looking to plug any holes in their revenue bucket.
    • The on-demand webinars and tutorial videos are great resources for busy users.
    • The knowledge library has lots of well-written and in-depth information, which is helpful when you need answers to your questions after hours, or don't have time to wait for an email reply to your question.
    • The easy-to-generate property performance reports simplify owner reporting and proposals for prospective owners.
     
  • Cons
    • In the past, the fact that the ProData tool is only for managers of large portfolios created a gap in KeyData's offerings. Small portfolio owners/managers either had to pay the disproportionately high rate (relative to their portfolio size), or moved on to other market intelligence providers.   The new HostData tool will make the powerful KeyData information available for hosts, co-hosts, and smaller PM at a price that makes sense.
    • As with all market intelligence tools, the data collected is historical.  This brings limitations when making projections about future revenue, occupancy, etc. due to unforeseen events which could happen in the future.  Users should keep this in mind when making decisions for their business.
    • There's a LOT of information available in the ProData tool.  Users who are easily overwhelmed by technology may benefit by pacing themselves as they learn about KeyData features and seek to maximize its utilization.

Overview

Price

Tiered pricing based on the number of active properties. *No charge for properties without a booking in the last 30 days.

1-2 Properties: $40/month

3 Properties: $48/month

4 Properties: $56/month

5 Properties: $64/month

10 Properties: $103/month

15 Properties: $138/month

20 Properties: $172/month

30 Properties: $232/month

40 Properties: $292/month

50 Properties: $351/month

100+ Properties: Contact Sales

  • Recommended For The Following

    Individual Self-Managing Property Owners – Yes. Hospitable can be used as a stand alone PMS in connection with a few key integrations.

    Property Managers and Co-hosts –  It depends. Co-hosts and those who only manage a handful of properties could make Hospitable work by choosing the right companies to supplement their tech stack. This may be a good option for those who want an easy to set up and easy to use PMS.

    Compared to other enterprise-level property management software though, Hospitable is missing features such as owner statements, robust reporting, and automated rental agreements that would make it a good fit for larger property managers and co-hosts. Features such as the ability to easily connect other owners’ Airbnb accounts to a Hospitable account, and the ability to create email aliases make it apparent Hospitable is seeking to strengthen their hand in this arena and it is worth watching to see what new features they roll out.

  • Features

    Unified Inbox From All Connected OTAs – Yes

    Unified Calendar From All Connected OTAs – Yes

    Unified Quote Management For All Connected OTAs  – Yes

    Rate Management For All Connected OTAs – Yes, you can customize:

    • Rates
    • Fees
    • Discounts
    • Mark-ups

    Channel Management for the Following OTAs – Sort of.

    • Reservation information is managed for Airbnb, Vrbo, and Booking.com to prevent double bookings, but Hospitable users will need to manage listing descriptions, photos, and details for VRBO and Booking.com through each of those platforms instead of only through Hospitable. This can be tedious if you are connected to Airbnb, VRBO, and Booking.com because you will have to update the information in three places instead just through the PMS.

    Setup Service – 

    • DIY
    • Customer support available via:
      • Chat
      • Scheduled Zoom call
      • Video tutorials

    Internal Website builder – In beta testing

    Guest Messaging – Yes, this is one of Hospitable’s best features because of it’s ease of use and reliability.  Customizable message templates are provided.  Messages can be automatically personalized for your guests and message delivery can be scheduled.  Airbnb and Vrbo guests receive their messages through the Airbnb and Vrbo messaging platform.  Messages sent and received through the OTA platform are important if issues arise during the stay and you need to contact OTA customer support.

    Guest ID Management – Not built in, but available via integration with Autohost for hosts with more than 25 properties.  

    Automated Rental Agreements –  Not built-in, but available via integration with Autohost for hosts with more than 25 properties.  

    Digital Signatures for Agreements – Not built-in, but available via integration with Autohost for hosts with more than 25 properties.  A work around can be created by using tools such as Docusign or HelloSign, but it will lack automation.

  • Pros
    • One of the best PMS values
    • 14 day free trial
    • Compared to other PMS, Hospitable is intuitive and easy to set up. This draws a lot of users to Hospitable.
    • Guest messaging is reliable, and sends messages to Airbnb and VRBO guests through the Airbnb and VRBO platforms (which is great if you have an issue come up and you need to get Airbnb or VRBO support involved). There are many hosts who use Hospitable strictly for their messaging feature and manage other aspects of their business through another PMS they run parallel to Hospitable.
    • The Bad Guest Review Feature: This feature lets hosts write a bad review for poor guests that is automatically posted 20 seconds before the review window expires. As a result, hosts can write an honest review without worrying about a retaliatory review from the guest. Genius!
    • Hospitable is in a growth and innovation phase and have been adding new features and integrations quickly.
  • Cons
    • Property managers might not find all the features they require.
    • The direct booking website feature is still in beta and may not suit the needs of hosts yet.
    • Limited integration partners by comparison with other PMS.  *iCal calendar can be exported to connect with additional STR related companies.
    • Hospitable users will need to manage listing description, photos, and details for VRBO and Booking.com through each platform instead of only through Hospitable. This can be tedious if you are connected to Airbnb, VRBO, and Booking.com because you will have to update the information in three places instead of one.

  • Recommended for the Following

  • Cons
    • Airtasker is a relatively new platform and there might not be many "Taskers" (professionals who have joined the Airtasker platform) in your area.
    • Just like guests take a risk staying at properties without many reviews, customers are taking a bit of a risk if they use a Tasker with a limited number of reviews.
    • Invoices are not provided automatically.  Taskers are independent contractors, so you’ll have to request an invoice from them directly for your records and tax purposes.

    Other Features:

    • The Realtor and Lender Partnership Program helps you connect with STR knowledgeable realtors and lenders once you find a market you’re interested in.
  • Pros
    • A STRINSIGHTS subscription lets you research markets in the entire United States.  Other market intelligence companies have users subscribe to each market individually, or charge a much higher price to research the entire United States. This makes STR Insights a great value.
    • An easy-to-use interface.
    • Being able to search by destination type is a fabulous feature when you have no clue where to start your market research other than knowing you want a property near a beach, mountains, National Park, etc.

    • STR Insights is a new company with a strong roadmap.  It will be great to see how the company evolves and the new features they launch.
  • Cons
    • It’s important to understand that the ROI estimates are based on historical information. Individual markets, or the broader STR industry, may experience events that change the ROI potential of a particular property.
    • When you have access to search the entire US you may find an overwhelming number of potential markets to consider.  Utilizing the filtering features is critical.
    • Currently the pricing valuations don't break out valuation of different property types (entire home, condo, multi-family, etc).
    • STR Insights only provides data for the US, eventually it would be great if users could search globally.

    • The PROtrack product is especially helpful for property managers and co-hosts who have a team of personnel that handles guest communications.  It allows communications to be routed to specific staff automatically and also has the ability to track the productivity and performance of your communication agents.
    • 14-day free trial.
    • No setup or onboarding fee.
  • Cons
    • Customer support and active features vary according to the plan users are subscribed to.  The fastest support is for Pro users or higher.

  • Cons
    • Proper strives to provide ‘best in class’ coverage for your business, which can come at a cost.  As a vacation rental owner, you are a business owner, therefore you need business insurance which can come at a higher cost than a regular homeowners policy. Be sure to read the details of the insurance quotes you receive from other companies and compare not only the coverages but also the exclusions.

     
    • The language of Proper policies could be written in a more customer-friendly manner. Compared to policies from some other companies we’ve reviewed, Proper's policies can be especially wordy.

    Customer Support

    • Email support.
  • Pros
    • The Sentry device is free, customers only pay a reoccurring subscription per device.
    • Currently, WYND Sentry is the only noise monitoring solution that also detects smoke.
    • It is also the only company that currently provides incident reports. The incident reports provide specific documentation of the time periods smoke was detected and the amount of smoke detected (in parts per million).  This report eliminates the 'he said, she said' exchange between hosts and guests by providing concrete evidence of smoking.
    • The unit has an internal backup battery that lasts 48 hours. This eliminates the concern that guests could unplug the unit and avoid noise or smoke detection during a party.
    • Built-in tampering detection: The unit sends a push notification to the owner if the power or internet is disconnected.
  • Cons
    • WYND Sentry is a new player in the noise monitoring space.  Currently, it does not have integrations with any property management software companies, or smart home solutions.
    • It's more of an FYI than a con, but each WYND Sentry unit can monitor smoke for a space up to 400 sq ft.  It is  recommended to get units to cover high traffic common areas like living rooms and kitchens.  If desired, a unit can also be placed in halls to detect smoke from adjacent rooms.  Each unit is an individual subscription.

    Rank and Pricing Hub  – This section of Rankbreeze gives a snapshot of how your properties are performing on Airbnb according to date and guest count.

    For example, if someone was looking for a home that sleeps eight guests from March 10-15, where would your property show up? Would it be the first result on page one, the 60th result on page 4, or the 187th result on page 11?

    Users can optimize their listings’ rank by using recommendations from the optimization hub, by purchasing Rankbreeze’s listing optimization service, or by implementing their own strategies to try to improve their listings’ performance on Airbnb.

    The optimization journal allows users to note the optimization actions they take and then come back and note how their listings’ rank changed after each optimization. Over time, this tracking can help users discover which optimizations have the most positive impact on their listings’ performance.

    • Competitor set – Users can manually create a competitor set and track competitors’ prices and minimum stay rules for future dates.

     

    Optimization Hub

    • Keyword Ideas – Suggests keywords based on top-performing properties in your city and neighborhood.
    • Review Analyzer – Analyzes the reviews of your property and your competitors to find words and phrases that can improve your listing’s performance.
    • Amenities Analyzer – This shows the frequency of amenities in your area.

     

    Market Scanner – The Market Scanner product has two main sections: the Market Report and the AirReview Pro Chrome extension.

    • Market Report Features – A market report can be generated for any market or neighborhood.
      • Lists top properties by revenue and features.
      • Identifies amenities common to the market.
      • Shows occupancy rates and average prices for the market.
      • Shows average fees and the discounts of competitors in that market.
    • AirReview Pro Chrome Extension – The AirReview Pro chrome extension is used while surfing Airbnb to learn the performance details of specific listings. This can be used to research your competitors or to get a sense of how listings perform in a market you may be considering investing in. The AirReview Pro extension provides the following performance indicators:
      • Estimated revenue of any listing
      • Occupancy rates
      • Average daily rates

     

    Dynamic Pricing Feature – The Rankbreeze dynamic pricing feature can be activated by integrating Rankbreeze with your PMS. Currently, integrations are available for OwnerRez and Uplisting. The dynamic pricing product is a relatively new feature. It is a bit early to say how it will compare to currently available dynamic pricing offerings.
