The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Duetto nothing is published on price, and deals are typically annual per property licences on multi-year terms, so the real commitment is only visible after several sales meetings.; Lodgify the 1.9 per cent booking fee on Starter and Professional applies to direct reservations, the exact bookings you built the site to win, so an owner turning over 200,000 dollars direct pays around 3,800 dollars a year on top of the subscription unless they move to Ultimate.
  • They diverge on capability: Duetto covers Open pricing, Lodgify covers Website builder.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 31 August 2026.

Where each one falls short

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

Duetto

  • Nothing is published on price, and deals are typically annual per property licences on multi-year terms, so the real commitment is only visible after several sales meetings.
  • Implementation is a project involving data cleansing, PMS integration and configuration, and properties routinely take months to reach useful output, during which the licence is already being paid.
  • The system requires a trained revenue manager to interpret and act on recommendations; a hotel without that function will not get value and would be better served by a rules-based tool.
  • Value depends on clean historical and segmentation data from the PMS, and properties with inconsistent rate coding or short history get weaker forecasts with no easy remedy.
  • It is priced and scoped for upper-midscale and above, so independent hotels under about a hundred rooms are typically outside the economic range regardless of how sophisticated their pricing needs are.

Lodgify

  • The 1.9 per cent booking fee on Starter and Professional applies to direct reservations, the exact bookings you built the site to win, so an owner turning over 200,000 dollars direct pays around 3,800 dollars a year on top of the subscription unless they move to Ultimate.
  • Operations tooling is thin: there is no real housekeeping scheduling, task assignment or owner statement generation, so managers past roughly twenty units outgrow it.
  • Prices shown are annual-commitment rates; paying monthly costs substantially more, which makes the headline figure misleading for anyone unwilling to commit for a year.
  • The website templates are constrained, and heavy design customisation means editing within a narrow theme system rather than having real control over layout or markup.
  • Payment processing is effectively tied to a small set of gateways, so operators in markets without local acquiring support may struggle to take payments in their own currency without extra cost.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Duetto: How much does Duetto cost?

Not published. Expect a per property annual licence scaled by room count, plus implementation, on a multi-year contract.

Lodgify: Does Lodgify charge commission on direct bookings?

Yes on the two lower tiers. Starter and Professional take 1.9 per cent of each direct booking; the Ultimate plan removes it.

Duetto: What is open pricing?

Yielding each segment, channel and room type independently rather than moving one best available rate and deriving everything else from it.

Lodgify: At what point is Ultimate cheaper than Professional?

Roughly once your direct booking revenue passes about 38,000 dollars a year, at which point the 1.9 per cent fee exceeds the price difference between the plans.

Duetto: Is it worth it for a small independent hotel?

Usually not. Below roughly a hundred rooms, and without a dedicated revenue manager, a simpler rules-based pricing tool is a better fit.

Lodgify: Is Lodgify a full property management system?

No. It is a website, booking engine and channel manager. Housekeeping, task management and owner accounting are largely absent.

Duetto: How long does implementation take?

Months rather than weeks, driven mostly by PMS data quality and rate code cleanup.

Lodgify: Can it run a hotel?

It is designed for whole-unit vacation rentals. Room-level hotel inventory, folios and night audit are not part of the product.
