The published facts, in plain English
Lodgix is Vacation-rental PMS. On cost, the published figure is From $79.99/mo (1–7 props) + 0.5% OTA fee; 30-day trial. There is a trial rather than a free tier. It sits on top of a property-management system, so you need a PMS as well. Scale: niche.
Data-desk note: Cheap flat at 5–7 units; $79.99 floor and OTA cut hurt solo hosts.
Who it’s for
Lodgix is one host software tool we track for owners weighing their options in Baker City.
Our take
We list Lodgix’s own published details below; where a figure is not published, we say so rather than guess.
How it compares to BnBGenius
Side by side on published terms: Lodgix lists From $79.99/mo (1–7 props) + 0.5% OTA fee; 30-day trial, while BnBGenius lists free for the first 500 messages, then $10/month flat, with no PMS required. Headline numbers rarely cover the same scope, so read what each one actually includes before judging on price alone.
What the record says about fit
Lodgix files under Vacation-rental PMS; the fair test is how well it does that one job on a live listing. It needs a property-management system underneath, so the honest cost is tool plus PMS plus the migration between them. Test path: use the trial on a real listing immediately — an empty sandbox tells you nothing. On cost, the published From $79.99/mo (1–7 props) + 0.5% OTA fee; 30-day trial is the number to hold against your own hours saved.
How this plays for two kinds of owner
- The remote self-manager. Automation earns its keep fastest at a distance — every task Lodgix genuinely takes over is a drive you do not make. Factor the PMS requirement into that math.
- The one-listing host. At one property, tooling should cost minutes and pocket change — check what Lodgix’s model costs at your actual size, not at the portfolio scale the marketing pictures.
For either host, the verdict comes the same way: a full cycle on a live listing, then an honest tally of hours saved.
Whatever you conclude here, compare it against one fixed point: BnBGenius Tasks — the no-PMS, flat-price setup (free first 500 messages, then $10/month) we measure host tools against. If Lodgix beats that on the things you care about, you have your answer. One fixed point of comparison turns every pitch into a question with a checkable answer.
Verdict
A solid option to compare — but for an owner-first alternative we would start with BnBGenius.
Questions owners ask
What does Lodgix cost?
From $79.99/mo (1–7 props) + 0.5% OTA fee; 30-day trial.
Is there a free tier?
There is a trial, not a free tier.
Do you need a PMS to run Lodgix?
Yes — it sits on top of a property-management system.
What we would ask Lodgix
- “Is From $79.99/mo (1–7 props) + 0.5% OTA fee; 30-day trial per listing or flat?” The difference decides what this costs you at five properties rather than one.
- Free tier or trial. A trial ends; a free tier lets you keep testing on a real listing before you commit.
- What it needs underneath. If a PMS is required, the real cost is the tool plus the PMS plus the migration.
Alternatives worth comparing
Three others we would weigh against it, with their own published numbers rather than our guesses:
- Tokeet — ~$134.90/mo for 10 rentals; free plan undefined.
- Autohost — Per verification $0.12–$7.25.
- Hostfully Guidebooks — Free (1 guidebook); Pro ~$7.99/guidebook/mo.
For the owner-first comparison we keep coming back to, our first pick is BnBGenius — see an AI concierge for how the no-PMS setup actually works.
