The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Hostfully the advertised per property price excludes a platform fee that is not published anywhere on the pricing page, so no listed figure is a real monthly cost until sales quotes it.; 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: Hostfully covers Channel management, 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.

Hostfully

  • The advertised per property price excludes a platform fee that is not published anywhere on the pricing page, so no listed figure is a real monthly cost until sales quotes it.
  • The Growth tier charges 1% on payments and 0.85% on direct bookings, so the operators most focused on direct revenue are penalised on the cheaper plan and effectively forced to Pro.
  • Pricing is per property, so a portfolio of small low-revenue units pays the same per listing as high-revenue ones and studio-heavy portfolios carry a disproportionate cost.
  • Accounting is lighter than manager-grade competitors, with no full trust accounting, so client fund segregation has to be handled outside the platform.
  • Digital Guidebooks are sold and priced separately from the PMS, so the product Hostfully is best known for is an additional line on the invoice rather than part of the subscription.

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

Hostfully: What is the platform fee?

Hostfully does not publish it. Ask for the total monthly figure for your listing count in writing before comparing plans.

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.

Hostfully: Which tier is cheaper in practice?

Pro, for anyone with real direct booking volume. Growth is $10 less per property but adds 1% on payments and 0.85% on direct bookings.

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.

Hostfully: Can I buy guidebooks alone?

Yes. Digital Guidebooks are priced separately and are commonly bought without the PMS.

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.

Hostfully: Is there a minimum property count?

No stated minimum, but per property pricing plus a platform fee makes it uneconomic for one or two units.

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.
