eviivo alternatives focused on short-term rentals

Property management software descends from two lineages. Hotel systems grew up around rooms — inventory, rate plans, a front desk that never closes. Short-term rental tools grew up around whole homes: calendars synced across Airbnb and Vrbo, guest messaging, cleaner turnovers, owner statements. Most platforms pick a side. eviivo positions itself across both: its homepage reads "Hospitality management software for hotels and short-term rentals," and its published audience list runs from hotels and motels through B&Bs and inns to short-term rentals, individual hosts and campgrounds.

That range is the pitch — one system for many kinds of property — and it shapes how the product is packaged. As of July 2026, per eviivo's published pricing, plans scale by property and bedroom count, and add-on modules are priced per room. None of that is a flaw; it's a structure built to fit five audiences at once. But if your portfolio is one audience — entirely short-term rentals — it's fair to ask whether a structure built for five is the right shape for you.

That's the question this guide takes on. If you're searching for eviivo alternatives because you run whole homes and apartments rather than rooms and rate plans, below is what eviivo publishes about its own product, where hotel-suite and STR-native platforms genuinely differ in structure, and six alternatives compared strictly on what each vendor prints on its own pages.

What does eviivo offer short-term rental operators?

Everything in this section comes from eviivo's own homepage and pricing page, retrieved July 2026. The positioning line: "Hospitality management software for hotels and short-term rentals," with the tagline "Better guest stays. Less pressure on staff." By its own count, eviivo serves 28,000+ properties worldwide in 70 countries, across five published audiences: hotels and motels, B&Bs and inns, short-term rentals, individual hosts and campgrounds. Advertised channels are Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo, Expedia and Google, plus metasearch and direct booking. On AI, eviivo's published claims are an "AI-powered 24/7 Concierge," "24/7 AI-powered messaging" and "eviivo AI Pricing dynamically optimizes your rates."

eviivo pricing is published in five currencies — USD, GBP, EUR, CHF and CAD — and scales by property and bedroom count through an interactive selector. As of July 2026: a single property from $50 per month, multi-property from $125 per month. Add-on modules are priced per room — Payment +$1, Guest +$3, Promo +$3, Performance +$2 and Owner +$3 — with volume pricing above 10 rooms handled by sales ("Please get in touch for a tailored quote"). A $0.50 fixed processing fee applies per confirmed booking when using its payment or messaging services, and the first 30 days are free, billed in arrears. See eviivo for current pricing.

One thing worth crediting plainly: eviivo advertises trust accounting natively. Its Owner Manager module — the +$3-per-room add-on — publishes "Trust accounting and fully automated owner statements" and a "secure Owner Portal." If you manage on behalf of owners, that puts eviivo among the vendors in this comparison that state the capability on their own pages. The question the rest of this article works through isn't whether the suite covers the ground — it's whether its shape fits a portfolio that is entirely short-term rentals.

Hotel-suite vs STR-native: what actually differs?

Strip away the positioning language and the STR software vs hotel PMS question comes down to three structural differences you can read straight off pricing pages.

1. The pricing unit. Hospitality suites tend to meter by room, because in a hotel the room is the sellable thing: eviivo's published plans scale by property and bedroom count, and its modules are priced per room. STR-focused platforms meter by property or by plan — Hospitable and Lodgify publish per-plan prices, Hostfully publishes per-property prices, Guesty's cited figure is per listing, and PropertyStack's base is per property. Neither unit is wrong; each mirrors what its core customer sells.
2. Modules vs bundles. eviivo publishes five add-on modules on top of the base fee. Add-ons aren't unique to hotel suites — Guesty sells trust accounting as an add-on, Hospitable reserves owner features for its top plan, Lodgify places owner payments on Ultimate — but per-room module pricing means the add-on cost scales with bedroom count rather than with property count. Run your own bedroom counts through both shapes before comparing headline figures.
3. Per-booking and percentage fees. Some published models include transaction-linked fees, and they live in different corners of each pricing page. eviivo lists a $0.50 fixed processing fee per confirmed booking on its payment and messaging services; Hostfully's Growth plan lists a 1% payment gateway fee and a 0.85% direct booking fee; Lodgify flags every plan "0% booking fee." None of these is hidden — they're all printed — but you have to pull them into one column yourself.

Two things to keep straight before the comparison. First, this is a fit question, not a quality ranking — a suite serving five audiences is exactly right for an operator who runs a B&B and three cottages. Second, some portfolios genuinely sit between the two worlds: if yours leans toward mid-term and corporate stays, serviced apartment management software is its own category with its own requirements, and worth evaluating as such.

How we compared these eviivo competitors

The method is deliberately narrow. Every competitor fact in this article comes from the vendor's own public pages — homepage, pricing page and feature pages — retrieved in July 2026. No review-site scores, no third-party roundups. Where pricing is quote-gated, we write "see the vendor for current pricing" rather than estimating. Where a capability doesn't appear on a vendor's pages, we write "not published" — meaning we found no claim, not that the capability doesn't exist. One disclosure up front: PropertyStack is our product, listed first below — bring the same skepticism to it that you'd bring to any vendor's own pages. Treat every figure as a July 2026 snapshot and re-verify before you decide.

PropertyStack: built for short-term rentals first

PropertyStack, an agentic property management platform for short-term rentals, is the platform we build — so weigh this section accordingly. The core idea: AI agents do the work end-to-end — answering guests, scheduling maintenance, reconciling accounts — not just storing your data. You set guardrails and approval thresholds per agent, deciding what runs automatically and what waits for your sign-off, and the AI escalates to a human when something genuinely needs one. The platform is genuinely all-in-one, built natively rather than stitched together from integrations.

The structure matches this article's frame. Booking channels are Airbnb, Booking.com and Vrbo, plus your own direct-booking site, and guest messaging runs across SMS, WhatsApp, email and the AI phone line, all in one inbox. Trust accounting for short-term rentals is part of the platform rather than a separate module — built to be reconciled and audit-ready to your jurisdiction's standard — and owners see statements, payouts and performance in their own portal.

On price: plans start at $50/month, and pricing scales with what you use — a platform base per property, plus the AI agents you switch on, plus a share of the new revenue the AI generates for you. If you're weighing eviivo vs PropertyStack directly, the cleanest comparison is structural: as of July 2026, both publish entry pricing at $50 per month — but one model then scales by room and module, the other by property and agent, with trust accounting included. Price your own bedroom counts into both.

Guesty: tiered from 1–3 to 200+ listings

Guesty measures its world in listings, which tells you who it's built for before you read a line of copy. As of July 2026, its published tiers segment by portfolio size, in its own words: Lite is "Perfect for 1–3 listings" and carries a 14-day free trial, Pro is "Tailored for 4–199 listings," and Enterprise offers "Solutions for 200+ listings." The homepage positions the product as "The future of vacation rental management, built on AI" — with claims like "AI agents that act, decide, and execute on your behalf" — and states 500K+ listings managed. Prices are mostly quote-gated: the only figure on the page appears in Guesty's pricing FAQ, "We have packages that start from $9/month per listing," so see Guesty for current pricing. Advertised channels run wide: Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo, Expedia, Google, Hopper and Homes & Villas by Marriott Bonvoy, with "60+ channels" via direct API. For owner money, Guesty publishes "Compliant vacation rental trust accounting" as an add-on (Trust Accounting™) and lists an Owners Portal among its features.

Hospitable: four published plans for short-term rental hosts

Hospitable is short-term rental software by its own description — the homepage pitch is "Simple at one door. Simple at one hundred." — and 22,000+ hosts run on it, by its own count. Its pricing page is fully published. As of July 2026: four plans, from Essentials with no subscription fee, through Host at $29 and Professional at $59, to Mogul at $99 per month, billed annually with a monthly toggle (annual billing is labeled "Save 12%"); prices exclude VAT where applicable. Dynamic Pricing is an add-on at $5 per property after a free period. Advertised channels are Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com and Agoda, plus direct booking sites, and the AI claims read: "AI answers for you in your unique tone or offers a ready-to-send draft," with "Copilot AI" answering business questions. Owner features concentrate on the Mogul plan — owner portal, statements ("Periodic statements for owners with income and fees"), invoices and payouts, with payout runs beyond one per month carrying a 1.5% fee capped at US$5 — and trust accounting is marked "Coming soon" there.

Hostaway: vacation rental software, priced by quote

Hostaway calls itself "The world's most loved AI vacation rental software" and addresses "thousands of successful vacation rental managers" — an STR audience in its own words. What it doesn't publish is pricing: as of July 2026, the pricing page is a multi-step "Get a free quote" form with no plans, prices or free-trial terms listed, so see Hostaway for current pricing and factor the quote step into your evaluation timeline. Advertised channels are Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com, Google Vacation Rentals, Expedia and Marriott Homes & Villas. AI claims, in its words: "AI CoHost, Your Strategic Business Partner," "AI Replies" and "AI Revenue Management." On owner features, the features page lists "Financial reporting, owner statements, and owner portals" under its 15–49-listings segment. Trust accounting is not advertised as a native feature on its product pages, appearing instead through marketplace partners such as Clearing and VRPlatform — "not advertised" being a statement about the pages, not the product.

Lodgify: published plans for one property or 30+

Lodgify's pricing FAQ frames its audience as "whether you have one property or 30+," and the homepage describes "Vacation rental software that syncs your calendars, powers direct bookings and automates guest communications. All in one place" — alongside a claim to be "#1 short-term rental PMS since 2012." Pricing is published in full, with a property-count selector and EUR, USD and GBP options. As of July 2026, on annual billing (labeled "Save 20%"): Basic $14, Starter $26, Professional $42 and Ultimate $62 per month, or $18/$33/$53/$77 billed monthly. Every plan carries a "0% booking fee" flag, and the FAQ states, verbatim, "Lodgify does not take a cut of your bookings." There's a 7-day free trial with no credit card. Advertised channel partners are Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com, Google Vacation Rentals and Expedia, with Tripadvisor and Trivago via iCal; the published AI claim is an "AI-powered unified inbox." Owner features — "Owner payments, reports and statements" — sit on the Ultimate plan; trust accounting is not published on the pages we reviewed.

Hostfully: per-property pricing from 1 to 100+ listings

Hostfully prices on the unit this article's readers already think in — the property. As of July 2026, per its published pricing: Growth starts at $15 per property per month for 1–50 listings, with a 1% payment gateway fee and a 0.85% direct booking fee; Pro starts at $25 per property per month for 1–199 listings, with "No payment gateway fee" and "No commissions on direct bookings"; Enterprise is "Tailored for 200+ listings" with custom pricing — see Hostfully for current figures. A platform fee applies alongside the per-property rates, and no free trial is mentioned on the pricing page. The homepage positions the product as "Where your whole vacation rental business comes together," cites "62k+ Properties managed" across portfolios of "1 to 100+ listings," and advertises Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com and Homes & Villas among "60+ channels." AI appears as "Unified Inbox + InboxAI." The owner-management page — "Empower homeowners, on your terms" — describes an owner portal where owners view bookings and financial statements, plus automatic owner reports; trust accounting is not advertised as native, appearing via integrations such as VRPlatform and Clearing.

eviivo vs PropertyStack: feature by feature

The fit question resolves feature by feature, so the table below reads down what a short-term rental operator needs day to day, with eviivo's published answer beside what PropertyStack delivers. Quoted fragments in eviivo's column are its own words from July 2026 pages, under the same sourcing rules as the rest of this article; the PropertyStack column condenses the claims above.

How do you choose an STR-native platform?

Work the decision from your portfolio inward, not from feature lists outward. Four checks, in the order they narrow the field:

1. Settle the pricing unit first. Count what you'd be billed on under each model — properties, bedrooms, plans or listings — and price this year's portfolio and next year's under each. A model that meters on rooms and one that meters on properties can print similar headline figures and land differently on the same twenty homes.
2. Read audience labels as fit signals. Vendors tell you who they build for — in tier names, segment labels and audience lists. If a platform's published audiences span five property types and yours is one, ask the vendor to walk you through the parts of the product built for yours.
3. Locate trust accounting precisely. Across these seven platforms it shows up as included, an add-on, a per-room module, "coming soon" and not published. If owner money runs through your business, our trust accounting guide for property managers covers what the books have to do — before you evaluate who does it.
4. Trial with your own guest traffic. Messaging volume is the daily reality of short-term rentals. Run each finalist against a real week — a late-night lockout question, a mid-stay maintenance call, a same-day booking — and watch what gets handled without you.

For the full process — requirements list, shortlist, structured trial and cutover plan — see our step-by-step guide to how to choose vacation rental software.

What does migration from your current platform involve?

The move itself is usually the last objection, and it's smaller than it looks from the outside. Whatever you're leaving — a hospitality suite or another STR tool — the assets that matter are the same: listings, upcoming bookings, guest history, owner records and the channel connections that feed them.

With PropertyStack, migration is done for you — from Guesty, Hostaway or another tool: listings, bookings, guests and history are brought across. Onboarding is guided and the PropertyStack team does the heavy lifting, hands-on and paced to your portfolio size. Channel reviews stay on the channels they were left on.

The frame to hold onto: this decision is a fit, not a ranking. eviivo publishes a structure built to serve five audiences; the alternatives above publish structures centered on short-term rentals. Match the structure to the portfolio you actually run — as of July 2026, and checked again on each vendor's live pages before you sign.
