Frequently asked questions
Is Uplisting or Hostfully cheaper?
Uplisting publishes its pricing openly, starting at £40/month for independent hosts or a Pay As You Go option at 3% commission for up to four properties. Hostfully doesn't disclose starting prices for its Growth or Pro plans publicly, so you'll need to contact sales for an exact quote, though its Growth plan carries a 1% payment gateway fee plus a 0.85% direct booking fee that are waived on Pro.
Which is better for a small portfolio, Uplisting or Hostfully?
Uplisting's Independent Host plan is built specifically for solo hosts and small operators, with a Pay As You Go option capped at four properties for those with variable booking volume. Hostfully's Growth plan also covers 1-50 listings, so the choice often comes down to whether you prefer Uplisting's transparent published pricing or Hostfully's broader integration library.
Which is better for a large portfolio?
Hostfully offers a dedicated Enterprise tier for 200+ listings with priority support and tailored onboarding, plus a Pro plan covering up to 199 listings with a dedicated Customer Success Manager. Uplisting's top Manager plan is aimed at established property managers but is positioned around 50+ properties rather than large enterprise portfolios.
Does Uplisting or Hostfully charge direct booking fees?
Uplisting's direct booking website is commission-free across its plans. Hostfully's Growth plan applies a 1% payment gateway fee and a 0.85% direct booking fee, both of which are removed on the Pro plan.
How easy is it to switch from Uplisting or Hostfully?
Both platforms offer onboarding support, Uplisting with a free 1:1 onboarding session and Hostfully with onboarding office hours and dedicated Customer Success Managers on higher plans. If you're evaluating a move away from either, it's worth comparing what a free core PMS with modular add-ons, like Zeevou's, could do for your setup and running costs.
