The short version

  • Each has a real cost: 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.; ResortCleaning pricing is not published on the vendor site, so comparison against Turno or an in-house scheduling board requires a sales conversation and third-party figures vary widely.
  • They diverge on capability: Lodgify covers Website builder, ResortCleaning covers PMS-driven job creation.
  • 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.

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.

ResortCleaning

  • Pricing is not published on the vendor site, so comparison against Turno or an in-house scheduling board requires a sales conversation and third-party figures vary widely.
  • It is a housekeeping system only, so it depends entirely on the PMS integration; if your platform is not on the supported list the automated job creation that justifies the product does not work.
  • There is no cleaner marketplace, so an operator who does not already have a workforce gets scheduling software with nobody to schedule.
  • The vendor is small, which means less depth of documentation, a smaller partner ecosystem and more dependence on direct support than a large platform offers.
  • Mobile field use is functional rather than polished, and cleaning crews with low technical confidence typically need in-person training before inspections are completed properly.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

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.

ResortCleaning: How is it different from Turno?

Turno matches hosts with cleaners from a marketplace. ResortCleaning is back-office software for a team you already employ or contract.

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.

ResortCleaning: What does it cost?

Not published. Expect quoting by property count or job volume, and ask whether there is an account minimum for small portfolios.

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.

ResortCleaning: Does it replace my property management system?

No. It takes reservation data from the PMS and handles the operations layer only.

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.

ResortCleaning: Does it handle contractor pay?

Yes. Completed jobs feed pay calculations for contractors as well as owner invoicing.
