Mobile-first PMS for independent hosts
Official OTA partner for scaling hosts
Which one should you choose?
Each platform is strongest in a different situation.
Choose iGMS
If you're an independent host with 2-8 properties who wants a highly-rated mobile app and the flexibility of a pay-per-booked-night plan while you grow, iGMS fits.
Choose Uplisting
If you want an official Airbnb, Booking.com and Vrbo partner, a Pay As You Go commission option for seasonal volume, or AI Suite and MCP/API access as you scale toward 50+ units, Uplisting fits.
Consider Zeevou
RECOMMENDEDIf you want to start on a free core PMS with 0% commission on direct bookings and add modular features as you scale, rather than committing to per-property or per-booking fees from day one, consider Zeevou.

Frequently asked questions
Is iGMS or Uplisting cheaper for a small portfolio?
iGMS's FLEX plan starts at $1 per booked night with a $20/property/month minimum, while Uplisting's Independent Host plan is £40/month flat or £0/month plus 3% commission on Pay As You Go for up to 4 properties. Which works out cheaper depends on your occupancy and booking volume, so it's worth modelling your actual numbers against both.
Which is better for scaling beyond a handful of properties?
Uplisting's Operator and Manager plans are explicitly built for growing operators and larger portfolios, with per-listing pricing that steps down as you add units. iGMS's PRO+ plan is aimed at 20+ properties and adds white label and a dedicated CSM, so both scale, but through different plan structures.
Does either platform support long-term or residential lets?
No. iGMS is explicitly positioned as not designed for long-term leases or residential property management, and Uplisting's positioning is focused on short-term rental and holiday let businesses.
How do iGMS and Uplisting handle direct bookings?
Both offer a free, no-code direct booking website with no commission charged on direct bookings, plus Stripe-based payment collection. iGMS layers in AI-suggested replies and vouchers, while Uplisting adds upsells through its Wishbox integration.
What's the main difference in support between iGMS and Uplisting?
iGMS advertises an average 5-minute support response time available 24/7 on weekdays, with phone support reserved for its PRO+ tier. Uplisting offers a 2-hour email/chat response on its entry plan and phone support only on the top Manager plan with a 45-minute response target.
