Frequently asked questions
Is Zeevou or Lodgify cheaper?
Zeevou's Core plan is completely free with unlimited listings, while Lodgify's cheapest plan, Basic, starts at $14/month. Both charge 0% commission on direct bookings, so the main cost difference comes down to which automation features you need and at what plan tier they unlock.
Which platform is better for a small, independent host?
Lodgify's tiered plans are built with independent hosts in mind, starting from a single property. Zeevou's free Core plan is also a strong fit for small hosts, since it includes unlimited listings and core PMS features at no cost, with a 7-day free trial not required.
Does either platform charge commission on direct bookings?
No. Zeevou charges 0% commission on bookings made through its direct booking website, and Lodgify states it does not take a cut of bookings, charging a flat subscription fee instead. Zeevou does apply a percentage fee only on bookings passed through its ZeeLink host network.
Can I migrate from Lodgify to Zeevou?
Yes. Zeevou includes guided onboarding and dedicated migration specialists as part of its paid plans, with a fully done-for-you migration available on request from the sales team. A 30-day money-back guarantee applies to paid Zeevou plans.
What's the main difference between Zeevou and Lodgify?
Zeevou offers a genuinely free core PMS with unlimited listings, automated owner reporting and guest CRM included from the start. Lodgify has no free plan and instead unlocks automated messaging, task management and advanced reporting progressively as you move up its four paid tiers.
