Direct booking website examples: the five things every one of them has to do
A direct booking website has to take the dates, price the stay honestly, hold the unit, take the money and confirm it in writing. Most of the sites in the example galleries stop after the second step, and this is the test that shows you where yours stops.
Lodgify vs OwnerRez: what twelve units cost on each, and which to buy
OwnerRez publishes a sliding scale you can add up yourself, which comes to $141 a month at twelve units, while Lodgify's $14 to $77 plans are all priced for a single property. Here is what each really costs at your unit count, who pays extra for the website, and how the two count identical units that sell as one type.
Which vacation rental website builder to buy, and what it costs
A builder is the right buy for almost every property of 8 to 25 units, and four are worth your time: Lodgify from $14 a month, OwnerRez at $40 for the first property, Hostaway's Pro site at $49 plus 0.5%, and Guesty at $9 plus 1% up to three listings. Paying for a build wins in one narrow case, when your pricing turns on a rule no builder will accept.
