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.; Tokeet the published entry price covers ten rentals, so a host with one or two properties pays a manager-sized fee and Tokeet is not economic below roughly five units.
  • They diverge on capability: Lodgify covers Website builder, Tokeet covers Reservation manager.
  • 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.

Tokeet

  • The published entry price covers ten rentals, so a host with one or two properties pays a manager-sized fee and Tokeet is not economic below roughly five units.
  • The suite is assembled from separately built applications, so navigation, terminology and data handling differ between Automata, Rategenie and the core product and staff need training on each.
  • Add-on apps mean the base subscription understates running cost, and a realistic quote requires listing which apps you will enable before comparing against an all-in competitor.
  • Support is largely ticket and knowledge base driven with limited hands-on onboarding at the entry tier, which is a problem given how much configuration the automation layer needs.
  • Accounting is limited to cost tracking and owner statements rather than full trust accounting, so managers in jurisdictions requiring segregated client funds still need external bookkeeping.

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.

Tokeet: What does the entry price cover?

Ten rentals, at roughly $134.90 per month billed monthly. Pricing scales upward by rental count from there.

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.

Tokeet: Are the extra apps included?

Availability varies by promotion. Treat Automata, Rategenie and Signature as separately configured components and confirm what is bundled in writing before signing.

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.

Tokeet: Is there a free option?

There is a free tier and a 15 day trial, but the useful configuration for a manager sits on the paid plans.

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.

Tokeet: Does it do trust accounting?

No. It offers owner statements and cost tracking, not segregated client fund accounting.
