Frequently asked questions
Is iGMS or OwnerRez cheaper?
iGMS starts at $1 per booked night on its FLEX plan (minimum $20 per property per month), or from $38 per property per month on PRO. OwnerRez starts at $88 per month on a sliding scale with no booking fees, but premium features like Property Management or Hosted Websites cost extra. Which is cheaper depends on your booking volume and how many premium add-ons you need.
Which is better for a small host with a handful of properties?
iGMS is explicitly built for independent hosts managing 2-8 properties, with a highly rated mobile app and pay-per-booking pricing that scales down as you grow. OwnerRez also serves individual homeowners but is designed to scale up to large management companies too, so it can feel more feature-heavy for a very small portfolio.
Which is better for a larger property management company?
OwnerRez is positioned for both small homeowners and large property management companies, with built-in trust/escrow accounting, commission calculation and a wide range of exportable reports. iGMS's PRO+ tier is built for 20+ properties and adds phone support and white labelling, but OwnerRez's PM module goes deeper on owner accounting.
What's the key difference between iGMS and OwnerRez?
iGMS focuses on ease of setup, a strong mobile app, and automating repetitive tasks like messaging and cleaning for hosts scaling beyond one platform. OwnerRez focuses on direct in-house channel API partnerships, deep customisation and comprehensive financial reporting for owners and PMs who want more control.
Do iGMS and OwnerRez charge commission on direct bookings?
Neither charges commission on direct bookings made through their own booking website. iGMS includes its website builder at no extra cost, while OwnerRez offers a website as a premium add-on but does not charge booking fees, guest fees or commissions on its base plan.
