Frequently asked questions
Is Guesty or iGMS cheaper?
iGMS starts from $1 per booked night on its FLEX plan (minimum $20 per property per month) or from $38 per property per month on PRO. Guesty's Lite plan starts from $9 per listing per month for 1-3 listings, but Pro and Enterprise pricing for larger portfolios is quote-based and not published, so a direct comparison depends on your portfolio size and which add-ons you need.
Which is better for a small portfolio, Guesty or iGMS?
iGMS is positioned specifically for independent hosts with 2-8 properties, with a pay-as-you-go FLEX plan that scales with booking volume. Guesty's Lite plan also covers 1-3 listings, but its revenue management, owners portal, and wider channel access only unlock on Pro or higher.
Does either platform charge commission on direct bookings?
Both platforms offer commission-free direct booking websites. Guesty's Websites are commission-free with built-in SEO, and iGMS's website builder also avoids OTA commissions and includes Stripe payments.
How easy is it to switch from Guesty or iGMS to another platform?
Migrating a PMS means moving listings, reservations, and channel connections without disrupting live bookings. The process is easier when your new provider offers a structured onboarding path and dedicated support to keep guest communication running throughout the switch.
What's the main difference between Guesty and iGMS?
Guesty targets a wider range of portfolio sizes, from solo hosts to 200+ unit enterprises, with a heavier AI feature set and no published pricing above its Lite plan. iGMS is more focused on independent hosts and growing multi-channel operators, with simpler flexible pricing and phone support gated to its top PRO+ tier.
