Hostaway or Guesty: quick answers

Is Hostaway cheaper than Guesty?

What do Hostaway and Guesty cost for one listing?

Hostaway: its website doesn't say. When we checked on October 7, 2026, some loads of its pricing page offered bands of “2-14 Listings”, “15-49 Listings” and “50+ Listings” and a link, “Only have 1 listing? Click here for more info.”, to a waitlist page that says “While we're not currently available in your market or for your portfolio size, we're rapidly expanding to serve property managers like you.” Other versions offered bands from “0 - 1” to “200+”, and choosing “0 - 1” led to the same quote form as the other bands. Guesty: at least $29 a month (Guesty Lite), billed monthly. Guesty Lite shows only 'from' prices and covers 1–3 listings; Guesty Pro (4–199 listings) is quote only.

Do Hostaway and Guesty have a free trial?

Hostaway: neither its pricing page nor its home page mentions one. Guesty: a 14-day free trial, no credit card needed.

Do Hostaway and Guesty charge per listing or per booking?

Guesty: Guesty Lite (Monthly / Annual) charges a monthly fee set by how many listings you have; Guesty Lite - LiteOptimizer (pay as you grow) adds 1% of booking revenue to a monthly fee ($9 for one listing). For LiteOptimizer, Guesty's page says “Per listing + 1% per reservation”.

Does using Hostaway or Guesty change your Airbnb host fee?

Either one does if you are still on Airbnb's split fee. Of its single fee, Airbnb says “This fee structure is mandatory for most hosts, including … hosts who use property management software, and hosts in countries subject to this fee structure.” Most hosts on it pay 15.5% of the nightly price and their own fees, against 3% on the split fee, which Airbnb is phasing out for all home hosts. One listing at $150 a night and 60% occupancy books $32,850 a year, so at the same prices the single fee takes $4,106 more a year, against $348 a year for Guesty itself.
