The 8 leading vacation rental software platforms compared on verified Trustpilot reviews, features, pricing and real user feedback.
Lodgify is the most-reviewed vacation rental software, 4,294 verified Trustpilot reviews at a 4.7 TrustScore, and our #1 overall pick, thanks to an all-in-one channel manager, direct-booking website and booking engine at the best value in the category. Hostaway holds the highest score (4.8) on fewer reviews. Every product below is ranked by verified Trustpilot review volume.
We rank each platform first by its number of verified Trustpilot reviews and its TrustScore, because review volume shows how many real hosts have actually used the product. We then score every tool across six categories drawn from those reviews: ease of use, onboarding & customer support, booking & channel management, automations & time saved, revenue impact, and value for money. Vendors don't pay to be listed or ranked, and no placement is sponsored.

An all-in-one PMS with a reliable channel manager and well-rated support, still maturing on polish.
A highly customizable, operator-grade tool with excellent support and accounting depth.
A straightforward channel manager praised for fast human support, best for smaller portfolios.
Prices are indicative starting points published by each vendor and can vary by plan, property count and region.
Lodgify is our pick for independent and Airbnb hosts. It scores highest in our comparison for both ease of use (93/100) and value for money (92/100), and its entry plan already bundles the channel manager, direct-booking website and booking engine, so you can sync Airbnb with Booking.com, Vrbo and Expedia while taking commission-free bookings on your own site.
iGMS is a sensible budget alternative for Airbnb hosts running several listings, and OwnerRez suits power users who want deep trigger automations and proper owner accounting and don't mind a steeper learning curve.
Larger operations lean on Hostaway, the leader in our automations category (90/100), and Guesty, the strongest channel manager (90/100) with enterprise accounting and owner portals. Both are sales-led and priced accordingly.
For independent and mid-size portfolios, Lodgify stays the best value: it covers channel management, direct bookings, automation and reporting in one plan at a fraction of enterprise pricing, which is why it leads our revenue impact (90/100) and value (92/100) categories.
