Lodgify pricing explained: what each plan costs and what it adds
Lodgify is one of the few vacation rental platforms that publishes its whole ladder. The catch is in the wording: the headline figures are starting prices, billed annually, for the smallest portfolio each plan allows — and Lodgify prices rise with the number of properties you manage. This page separates the published starting prices from the fees and limits that decide what you actually pay.
Lodgify plans at a glance
| Plan | Starting price (billed annually) | What it adds |

| Starter | From $26 / month | Adds the no-code website builder and booking engine for direct bookings; Lodgify states Starter covers up to 2 properties. Dynamic Pricing as a 3-month free trial |
| Professional | From $42 / month | Adds custom message automation and messaging workflows, a listing on Google Vacation Rentals, and Dynamic Pricing included. 1:1 onboarding included |
| Ultimate | From $62 / month | Adds task management, automated check-in tools, guest invoices, owner payments and reporting, listing analytics, and priority support including live chat |
The fees on top of the subscription
- Booking fee: 0%. Lodgify's pricing FAQ states it charges no booking fee on any plan and takes no cut of your bookings, including direct bookings through your Lodgify website on Starter and above.
- Transaction fee: 1% on online payments. The same FAQ states a 1% transaction fee applies to payments guests make online through a payment gateway such as Stripe or PayPal, and the gateway charges its own processing fee on top. Payments you collect manually, such as cash or bank transfer, carry no Lodgify transaction fee.
- No setup fee, per Lodgify's FAQ, and free onboarding is included, with 1:1 onboarding on Professional and Ultimate.
- Trial: 7 days free, no credit card required. There is no long-term contract; annual plans run to the end of the billing period if you cancel.
- Billing cycle matters. Monthly billing is available and costs more than the annual starting prices above. Lodgify states subscriptions can be charged in USD, EUR or GBP, prices exclude taxes, and the amount can depend on the exchange rate at payment time.
- Property count matters. Every starting price is for the smallest portfolio for that tier. As you add properties, the price rises — use the calculator on Lodgify's pricing page for your exact count instead of multiplying the headline figure.
Dynamic pricing on Lodgify
Lodgify's pricing page lists Dynamic Pricing — nightly prices set automatically from local demand, updated daily for the next 18 months — as a 3-month free trial on Basic and Starter, and included on Professional and Ultimate, for accounts created on or after September 21, 2026 (availability can vary by country, per Lodgify's footnote). Hosts on Basic or Starter who want automated pricing long-term should price the move to Professional into the comparison, or compare a standalone pricing tool separately.
The alternative shape: Hospitable
Hospitable sells the same job — channels, calendar, inbox, automations — with a different ladder:
| Lodgify | Hospitable | |
|---|---|---|
| Free option | None — 7-day trial only | Essentials is free, with unlimited properties: channel sync for Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com and Agoda, unified inbox and calendar, scheduled guest messages |
| First paid tier | Basic from $14/month billed annually (1 property, no website builder) | Host $29/month for 1 property (maximum 2), with automated messaging and dynamic pricing included |
| Direct booking website | From Starter (from $26/month billed annually) | From Professional ($59/month including 2 properties); direct transaction fees apply — Basic 1%, Premium 4% + 3% processing |
| Dynamic pricing | Trial on Basic/Starter; included on Professional and Ultimate | Included on Host, Professional and Mogul; on free Essentials it is an add-on after a free period for the first 3 bookings or 30 days, then $15 per property per month |
| Owner tools | Ultimate: owner payments and reporting | Mogul ($99/month including 3 properties): owner statements, invoices and payouts, plus built-in accounting or QuickBooks |
| Trial | 7 days, no card required | 14 days, all features, no card required, plus the free plan |
Who should pick which
- Pick Lodgify if a direct-booking website is a priority from the start: its builder arrives on the second tier, direct bookings carry a 0% Lodgify booking fee, and every tier's starting price is published.
- Pick Hospitable if you want to start at $0, or if messaging automation and included dynamic pricing matter more than a website builder at the entry tiers.
- Check the total either way: on Lodgify, confirm your property count, billing cycle and the 1% online-payment transaction fee; on Hospitable, confirm whether your plan includes the direct booking website and which direct transaction fee applies.
