Why Hosts Love iGMS

I've tested so many property management systems over the years. I still recommend iGMS because it's dead simple to set up and doesn't overload you with unnecessary features. It's fast, affordable, and the team behind it is fantastic. If you want to spend more time growing your business and less time fighting complicated software, iGMS is the right call.

Airbnb Host & Co-Host Mentor

I'm a website developer and this is my second client who needed bookings. The first is through OwnersRes, and then he switched to Guesty, and is now back to OR, but so far it's been about four weeks that he has waited in the hold line for a custom install this time by OR techs. Now, I do admit that IGMS took me about 4 weeks with only two properties, but I'm not one to read directions and just jump right in.

The only CMS that can handle VRBO/Expedia without losing the payment portal. App can be laggy, but browser experience is solid. Software architecture superior to competitors like HostAway and Guesty.
