Hospitable starts from the guest conversation. Every plan, including the free Essentials tier, syncs Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com and Agoda into one inbox and calendar and can send scheduled guest messages. The Host plan, shown at $25.52 per month for one property with the annual discount, adds automated messaging, AI suggested replies and dynamic pricing at no extra cost, with extra properties at $10 each up to two. Professional adds a direct booking website with chargeback and damage protection, smart lock and thermostat automations and a Google Vacation Rentals listing. Mogul is the plan for property managers: owner statements, invoices and payouts, accounting built in or through QuickBooks, and fully automated replies with Inbox AI. The pricing page lists per-property costs and processing fees for each tier, which makes it easy to model a bill. The limits are that Host stops at two properties and owner accounting sits only on the most expensive tier.
