The short version

Each has a real cost: Boostly the dominant cost is the one-off build fee, which is quoted rather than published and typically runs into the thousands, so the monthly figure hosts quote to each other badly understates the commitment.; Uplisting the 100 US dollar monthly minimum means an owner with one or two properties pays roughly fifty dollars per unit, five times the effective rate a twenty-unit manager pays.
They diverge on capability: Boostly covers Custom WordPress site, Uplisting covers Channel sync.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Boostly

The dominant cost is the one-off build fee, which is quoted rather than published and typically runs into the thousands, so the monthly figure hosts quote to each other badly understates the commitment.
It is a website and a marketing programme, not a property management system; you still need and still pay for a PMS underneath it.
Results depend entirely on your own effort producing content and email, and a site with no traffic strategy produces no direct bookings regardless of how well it is built.
The build is WordPress, which means plugin updates, hosting decisions and the security exposure that comes with the platform, all of which land on you or on a paid maintenance arrangement.
Coaching and community are a large share of what you pay for, which is poor value for an operator who already has marketing capability and only wants the booking site.

Uplisting

The 100 US dollar monthly minimum means an owner with one or two properties pays roughly fifty dollars per unit, five times the effective rate a twenty-unit manager pays.
Owner statements and trust accounting are effectively absent, so agencies that must report to and pay property owners need separate bookkeeping alongside it.
Payments are tied to Stripe for direct bookings, which limits operators in countries Stripe does not serve well or who want to keep an existing acquiring relationship.
Channel coverage is narrower than the larger platforms: Airbnb, Booking.com and Vrbo are solid but regional OTAs and wholesale distribution are not there.
Reporting is basic, with limited custom report building, so investors or multi-entity operators typically export data and analyse it elsewhere.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Boostly: Is Boostly a property management system?

No. It builds direct booking websites and teaches marketing. Your PMS stays where it is and Boostly plugs into it.

Uplisting: Does Uplisting take a percentage of bookings?

No. It charges a flat monthly rate per property and takes no cut of reservation value, including on direct bookings.

Boostly: What does it actually cost?

Pricing is not published. The structure is a substantial one-off build fee, commonly quoted in the low thousands of US dollars, plus a smaller ongoing subscription.

Uplisting: What is the minimum I can spend?

One hundred US dollars a month, regardless of whether you have one property or five.

Boostly: Do I own the website?

It is built on WordPress, so unlike a closed platform site you retain something transferable, though moving it off Boostly means taking on hosting and maintenance yourself.

Uplisting: Does it do owner payouts and statements?

Not meaningfully. Managers who owe monthly statements to property owners generally run accounting separately or choose Hostaway or Guesty instead.

Boostly: Will it replace Airbnb bookings?

Only to the extent you drive traffic to it. The site converts demand you generate; it does not create demand on its own.

Uplisting: Which channels connect?

Airbnb, Booking.com and Vrbo are the core two-way connections, plus its own direct booking site and Google Vacation Rentals.
