Guesty covers the full short-term rental stack: a channel manager that pushes rates and availability to Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com in real time, a multi-calendar that shows every booking source and cleaning schedule in one view, and a unified inbox where ReplyAI drafts an answer next to the reservation details. Automation creates cleaning and maintenance tasks after each checkout and sends timed guest messages from confirmation to checkout reminder. The pricing split matters. Guesty Lite is for 1 to 3 listings at $9 per listing per month with a 14-day trial, and it is one of the lowest published entry prices on this list. Guesty Pro, for 4 to 199 listings, adds 60+ channels, an owners portal and revenue management, but its price comes only in a quote. Trust accounting, smart lock management and GuestyPay are paid add-ons, so a management company should price the full bundle before signing.
Who it is for
