The short version
- The direct booking website, Lodgify's strong point. A no-code website builder in 32 languages, with a free domain on yearly plans, from the Starter plan (Lodgify's pricing). Vostay has no direct booking website.
- Price per account or per property. Lodgify bills the whole account, by number of properties; its price per property falls as you grow. Vostay bills each property, with a discount from the 10th. The result: at 5 properties, Vostay Hôte and Conciergerie cost less than Lodgify Professional and Ultimate; at 20, it is the other way round.
- The AI. Lodgify's writes replies that you approve (help centre). Vostay's replies on its own, topic by topic, once it has earned it.
- Cleaning and owners. At Lodgify, task and cleaning management, and owner statements, come with the Ultimate plan only. At Vostay, cleaning is in all three plans and owner statements from Conciergerie up.
- Payments. Lodgify charges no booking fee, but 1% on your guests' online payments. Vostay takes no commission.
