Roadmap

Who each is best for

Guesty fits if…

  • — 60+ channel integrations including Expedia, Agoda, HomeAway, and a long tail of regional OTAs. BookBed covers Airbnb / Booking.com / Vrbo today.
  • — Trust accounting and owner-statement automation on Pro (paid add-on). If you're a property manager handing checks to multiple owners monthly, Guesty has the deepest module in the category.
  • — Enterprise-grade compliance, security reviews, and SSO — relevant if you're an agency reporting to landlords or institutional owners.

Lodgify fits if…

  • — Direct-booking website builder is genuinely the best in the SMB tier — full templates, hosting, and a domain in one flow.
  • — Airbnb Preferred and Booking.com Premier partner status means tighter API access than iCal-only competitors on those channels.
  • — Free hands-on onboarding call is a real differentiator — they'll walk a non-technical host through the first listing live.

BookBed fits if…

  • — You don't want per-unit pricing surprises at unit 8.
  • — You want a fully white-label direct-booking widget on a mid-tier plan.
  • — EU data residency and a 60-second iCal cadence matter to you.
