The short version

  • Each has a real cost: 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.; 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: Hotelogix covers Front desk grid, 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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
