Pay only for properties that actually book.

iGMS publishes pricing on our website. Pro plans start at $48 per property per month, with one structural difference from Hospitable: after the first property, you only pay for properties that received reservations that month.

Hospitable charges a plan fee plus a per-property add-on for every listing past the included count, regardless of whether that listing booked. For a 10-property host on the Professional plan, that’s $59 plus $120 in property fees ($179 per month), every month.

For hosts with seasonal occupancy or listings in ramp-up, iGMS means you stop paying for properties that aren’t earning. Hospitable’s per-property surcharge applies whether the listing booked or not.

Which platform fits your business?

iGMS and Hospitable solve overlapping problems for slightly different operators. Here’s how to tell which one is right for you.

Choose iGMS if you

  • Want a real human support team when you need help
  • Manage 3 to 20 listings, or plan to grow there
  • Run your business primarily from a mobile device
  • Need cleaning and team management built in
  • Want a single unified workspace, not two dashboards
  • Prefer pricing that doesn’t add a fee for every additional listing

Choose Hospitable if you

  • Have 1 or 2 listings and AI guest messaging is your primary pain point
  • Run a simple operation that doesn’t need built-in team or cleaning workflows
  • Don’t need a dedicated mobile operations app for daily hosting tasks
  • Prefer Hospitable’s specific AI messaging style and training workflow

If your operation is on the line between the two, the free trial is the fastest way to find out which workflow fits.

Switch from Hospitable to iGMS

Making the switch is faster than you think. Most hosts are fully migrated inside an afternoon, and you can run both platforms in parallel for a few days if you want to test before fully cutting over.

Why hosts choose iGMS for support and reliability

"iGMS customer support is so helpful. As a somewhat technical person, but new to APIs, their customer support walked me through their docs and helped me automate some processes. The product in general has helped us automate so much of our Airbnb business at an affordable price for a mom & pop shop. Great product and service."

Ian M., Owner in Hospitality

Capterra, April 2026

"iGMS has always had superior support and a product that has everything we need. Every single chat support agent is a real human being and extremely knowledgeable, with very fast answers. They don't refer you to read some lengthy document, they actually tell you how to do something right there in the chat. I cannot say enough about the entire platform."
