Hostfully pairs a full property management system with its digital guidebook product. The channel manager syncs Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com, direct booking sites and 60+ channels, and a central calendar plus a booking pipeline show where each guest stands. The unified inbox includes InboxAI and supports co-hosting, and owner management, payment processing through PayPal and Stripe, an open API and 150+ integrations cover the back office. Guidebooks are the distinctive part: guests get house details and local tips, hosts can sell extras through them, and the first guidebook is free. Growth starts at $15 per property per month plus a platform fee and includes 24/7 support, but it adds a 1% payment gateway fee and a 0.85% direct booking fee. Pro starts at $25 per property and drops both fees. Because the platform fee is not published, your real monthly cost is only clear after the demo.
