Guesty vs iGMS

Guesty is a property management platform for vacation-rental operations, with Android and iOS apps for mobile administration. Listings can synchronize across Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com and more than 60 other channels. Its Multi-Calendar and real-time channel synchronization are designed to reduce double bookings. Listed tools include maintenance management, property accounting, AI agents for guest messaging, pricing, reconciliation, reviews and fraud prevention, plus Guesty Pay for major cards, chargeback management and payment reconciliation. Trust Accounting provides vacation-rental trust accounting and automated compliance tools. Teams can use an owners portal, owner management and dedicated customer success support. Packages are sized for different portfolios: Lite covers 1–3 listings, Pro 4–199 and Enterprise 200 or more. There is no free version, but a 14-day Lite trial is available. Monthly and annual billing are offered, and monthly plans are not discounted.

iGMS is short-term rental software for managing guest communication, bookings, booking changes, and daily operations. It brings calendars, messages, and reservations from Airbnb, VRBO, and Booking.com into one workspace, where its AI inbox can suggest replies. Hosts can set instructions once so cleaners receive details such as parking and door codes automatically. iGMS lists direct integrations with Airbnb, Vrbo, HomeAway, regional platforms, and Booking.com; TripAdvisor, Agoda, and Expedia can connect through iCal. The service offers web access and Android and iOS apps, though the Airbnb Listing Editor requires the desktop version. Plans include FLEX at $1 a month, billed per booked night, with a $20 per property/month minimum; PRO at $48 a month per property, billed monthly; and PRO+ at $69 a month per property, billed monthly. A free trial is available, but there is no free plan. PRO+ dynamic pricing is limited to the United States, Canada, Australia, Mexico, the United Kingdom, and Spain.
