Last updated 2026-04-20

Lodgify for small portfolios (1–5 listings)

Hosts with 1–5 short-term rental listings looking for software that scales with them, not against them.

Our verdict for small portfolios (1–5 listings)

Great fit

Lodgify is built for you — affordable per-listing pricing, a simple website builder, and channel sync that just works for a handful of properties.

Why it fits you

  • $16/listing Starter plan keeps costs low while you test direct bookings
  • 93% of users rate the interface as simple — minimal learning curve
  • Strong onboarding support to get you live quickly

What might bite you

  • 1.9% booking fee on Starter plan eats into margins on high-value bookings
  • Mobile app instability makes on-the-go management frustrating

Best-for-you alternatives at this size

  • Beds24 Great fit

    If you run 1–5 rentals and want a combined PMS + channel manager without a monthly floor, Beds24's per-rental pricing is hard to beat.

    From €15.90/listing • No free trial · Unusually cheap, unusually programmable — if you can stomach the UI

  • Hospitable Great fit

    Purpose-built for this size; automation-first messaging and a low learning curve at a price that still makes sense.

    From $0 • No free trial · The simplest path to fully automated guest messaging

  • Hostex Great fit

    If you run 2–50 listings and want one tool to handle channels, messaging, and a direct booking site for under $10/property/mo, Hostex is one of the cheapest credible options.

    From $4.9/listing • Free trial · Cheapest credible all-in-one PMS with no booking fees, if you can tolerate a dated UI
