How much does a channel manager cost?
Per listing a month, from the cheapest plan to the dearest: $19.99 to $114.00 at 1 listing, $10.30 to $24.90 at 10 listings and $7.00 to $20.00 at 50 listings. Only 8 of the 10 vendors with published prices price 50 listings.
What the cheapest price leaves out
- Host Tools is cheapest on its Messaging plan. Its Pro plan costs $51.00 at 3 listings and $353.00 at 50, still the cheapest at those sizes.
- Guesty, Smoobu, Uplisting and iGMS have plans charged per booked night or as a share of bookings, so where they rank depends on your rate and occupancy.
- Hospitable also has a free plan, Essentials: unlimited properties, but some features cost extra (for example a 10% fee on custom upsells). It isn't in the price comparisons.
- Hostaway, Lodgify, Beds24 and Rentals United publish no dollar prices, so they aren't ranked.
- We compare price only: check that a plan connects to the channels you list on.
