Hospitable alternatives for small hosts.
Short answer. Most hosts look elsewhere at the third property, when Hospitable moves from Host to Professional ($74 a month), or when they need direct booking without Professional. Guesty Lite is the lower-priced option for up to three listings, iGMS costs less from three listings on annual billing, and Lodgify fits when the website is the priority.

Why hosts look for a Hospitable alternative
These are the documented plan boundaries that most often change the math. They are not reliability or support findings.
- Host covers at most two properties; the third moves you to Professional at $59 base plus $15 per extra property.
- Direct booking and smart devices are not available on Essentials or Host.
- Essentials limits AI assistance and needs a paid plan for auto replies.
Guesty Lite
From $9 per listing for up to three listings, with Airbnb, Booking.com and Vrbo in one inbox and a direct booking website listed. Dynamic pricing, locks and payments are add-ons.
iGMS
$62.01 for three listings and $87 for five on annual billing, with cleaning and task management listed. Dynamic pricing requires PRO+.
Hostaway
A fuller property management system that publishes no price; its pricing flow starts at two to fourteen listings. Ask for a dated quote and compare it with the public prices above.
How we chose
- Alternatives that cover the same small-host jobs: inbox, calendars, automation.
- Monthly cost from official pages at 1, 2, 3 and 5 listings, checked on the date shown.
- No hands-on testing. Commission never changes the order.
Common questions
What is the best free alternative to Hospitable?
Hospitable’s own Essentials plan is free. Among the alternatives here, Guesty and iGMS offer trials rather than free plans, and Turno is free for one property but covers cleaning only.
Is it worth switching at three listings?
Compare $74 for Hospitable Professional with $62.01 for iGMS PRO on annual billing, then add the dynamic pricing you would lose: Hospitable includes it, iGMS PRO does not.
