Hostaway vs OwnerRez: which one can hold your dates while the guest pays
OwnerRez can hold a guest's dates on your calendar while the card clears and Hostaway documents no way to do it, which decides the choice for any small hotel, inn or serviced-apartment group planning to take bookings on its own website.
Hostaway vs Lodgify: the prices, and which one fits a small property
Lodgify's four plans are $14, $26, $42 and $62 a month on annual billing, all of them priced for a single property, and Hostaway puts no figure on its site at all. Here is what each really costs at 8 to 25 units, the booking fee only one of them charges, and how to test the sync and support complaints yourself.
Hostaway API: what it takes to build a direct booking checkout
Hostaway's public API lives in a single reference, the key is yours to create, and the request that makes a reservation can charge the card at the same time. If that charge fails, Hostaway deletes the reservation. Nothing it publishes holds the dates while a guest is paying.
