The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Guesty quote-only pricing, typically scaled by listing count, so small operators find it expensive per unit; Hotelogix the advertised per-room rate covers the PMS only; the channel manager and accounting connector are separate per-room subscriptions with their own monthly minimums, so a small hotel budgeting from the headline number will underestimate the bill.
  • They diverge on capability: Guesty covers Multi-channel listings, Hotelogix covers Front desk grid.
  • 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.

Guesty

  • Quote-only pricing, typically scaled by listing count, so small operators find it expensive per unit
  • Aimed at professional managers rather than individuals with one or two listings
  • Channel sync depends on the booking platforms, whose API changes and outages surface as your problem
  • Breadth means individual modules are shallower than dedicated tools

Hotelogix

  • The advertised per-room rate covers the PMS only; the channel manager and accounting connector are separate per-room subscriptions with their own monthly minimums, so a small hotel budgeting from the headline number will underestimate the bill.
  • Each additional third-party interface, such as a door lock or a payment terminal, is billed as its own monthly fee, which makes an integrated stack expensive to assemble at a property that wants several connections.
  • Multi-property and enterprise pricing is not published, so a growing group cannot compare Hotelogix against alternatives without entering a sales process.
  • The user interface is dated next to Mews or Cloudbeds, and staff coming from a modern consumer app typically need more training time on the tape chart and folio screens.
  • Support quality varies by region and depends heavily on the local reseller rather than on the vendor directly, so response times in markets without a partner presence are inconsistent.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Guesty: What does Guesty cost?

Guesty quotes based on listing count and modules and does not publish standard rates.

Hotelogix: What does Hotelogix actually cost for a thirty-room hotel?

The core PMS at the entry tier is around 240 US dollars a month at 7.99 per room, but adding the channel manager at about 1 dollar per room with a 25 dollar floor and any interface fees typically pushes the real figure past 300 dollars.

Guesty: Is Guesty worth it for one property?

Generally not. It is built for professional managers with portfolios; individuals with one or two listings usually find the cost per unit hard to justify.

Hotelogix: Is the channel manager included?

No. Distribution is a paid add-on charged per room per month on top of whichever PMS tier you are on.

Guesty: Which booking channels does it support?

Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com among others, synchronised from one inventory so a booking on one channel closes the dates everywhere.

Hotelogix: Does Hotelogix take commission on direct bookings?

No. The booking engine does not charge a per-reservation commission; you pay only the subscription and your own payment processing.

Hotelogix: Is it suitable for a hotel group?

It has a multi-property dashboard, but group pricing is quoted rather than published and larger chains generally shortlist Opera or Mews instead.
