Avalara MyLodgeTax for mid-sized portfolios (5–20 listings)
Operators at 5–20 listings, past the solo-host stage but not yet running a full property management company.
Our verdict for mid-sized portfolios (5–20 listings)
Great fit
The sweet spot — enough properties to justify per-unit costs, and compliance complexity rises fast with multi-jurisdiction exposure.
Why it fits you
- Multi-jurisdiction tax obligations become genuinely difficult to manage manually at 5–20 listings
- PMS integrations automate the data pipeline so compliance runs hands-off
- Commercial pricing kicks in at 6+ properties
What might bite you
- Monthly costs of $135–$540 are significant for operators optimizing margins
- Volume discount rates for 6+ properties are not publicly disclosed
Best-for-you alternatives at this size
- Clearing Great fit
This is Clearing's core target — 10-50 unit managers who need trust accounting and owner statements without hiring a finance lead.
From $25 • No free trial · Specialist bookkeeping for STR managers who actually need trust accounting
- Hostfully Bookkeeper Great fit
The sweet spot — Hostfully's Pro tier at $229/mo for up to 11 listings delivers strong accounting value per property.
From $129 • No free trial · Solid accounting layer if you're already on Hostfully's PMS
- Stessa Okay fit — consider alternatives
Workable for 5-20 properties if your needs are primarily financial tracking, but lacks operational tools for managing guests or turnovers.
