Comparison
Both are all-in-one software for vacation-rental hosts, and both connect to Airbnb, Booking.com and Vrbo. The difference is where they started: Lodgify is built around your website and direct bookings, Hospitable around automating guest communication. That starting point still shapes what each does best.
| Lodgify | Hospitable | |
|---|---|---|
| Where it started | Website builder + booking engine, grown into a full property-management system | Guest-messaging automation (formerly Smartbnb), grown into a property-management system |
| Direct-booking website | Core feature: templates, booking engine and online payments built in | Available (direct-booking pages), but secondary to the automation tools |
| Channel manager (Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo) | Yes | Yes |

Features and plans change often — check each vendor's site before you decide.
A common setup is to keep the operations tool you like and add a separate website on top. HomestAI builds that website from your existing Airbnb or Booking.com listing in about five minutes, and its booking section can embed your Lodgify widget or your Hospitable booking page — availability, payments and messaging stay where they are.

Hospitable offers direct-booking pages, but they are a checkout flow more than a full website. Hosts who want a branded site often pair Hospitable with a separate website builder.
It depends on how many properties you manage and which plan you need — both price per property and change their plans regularly. Compare the current plans on lodgify.com/pricing and hospitable.com/pricing for your exact number of listings.
Yes. HomestAI builds a website from your Airbnb or Booking.com listing, and its booking section can embed your Lodgify booking widget (with your Lodgify property ID) or your Hospitable booking page (as a custom booking link). Availability, payments and messaging stay in the tool you already use.
