OwnerRez vs Lodgify: which is better for a small vacation rental host?
Short answer
OwnerRez has a published, predictable price ($40 a month for one home, $70 for three) and direct API connections to Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com. Lodgify bundles a booking website, but its plan prices couldn't be confirmed when checked. Both connect to PriceLabs; compare current quotes before choosing.
