Pros
- Users can get started with no setup fees.
- OwnerRez is a great value with a robust set of features that will work for users with only a couple of properties up to those who manage an extensive portfolio.
- OwnerRez has historically been a stable and reliable platform.
- No extra fees are charged for additional users.
- OwnerRez websites practically build themselves and are great for folks who don’t have the time or inclination to have a stand-alone custom site built.
- OwnerRez frequently rolls out new features, integration partners, and updates. They are committed to continually improving their platform and listening to their users needs.
- There is an Unofficial OwnerRez Facebook page full of helpful people who are happy to answer questions. Sometimes this is faster than utilizing customer support.
-
Cons
- There is a fairly steep learning curve to setting up and learning OwnerRez that intimidates some people, and it isn't as intuitive as other platforms. Once users become familiar with the software this is typically no longer an issue. If you are easily overwhelmed by technology consider taking advantage of the ProConnect service.

Hospitable
Overview
Hospitable is a relatively new PMS that has developed a reputation for being easy to set up and use. Its automated messaging features are a particular strength.

-
Recommended For The Following
Individual Self-Managing Property Owners – Yes. Hospitable can be used as a stand alone PMS in connection with a few key integrations.
Property Managers and Co-hosts – It depends. Co-hosts and those who only manage a handful of properties could make Hospitable work by choosing the right companies to supplement their tech stack. This may be a good option for those who want an easy to set up and easy to use PMS.
Compared to other enterprise-level property management software though, Hospitable is missing features such as owner statements, robust reporting, and automated rental agreements that would make it a good fit for larger property managers and co-hosts. Features such as the ability to easily connect other owners’ Airbnb accounts to a Hospitable account, and the ability to create email aliases make it apparent Hospitable is seeking to strengthen their hand in this arena and it is worth watching to see what new features they roll out.

Recommended for the Following
Individual Self Managing Property Owners – Since the price is fixed for 1-5 properties it is a good value for hosts with 3-5 properties. The value improves as you add more properties.
Property Managers and Co-hosts – Bookerville can be used by property managers and co-hosts. In fact, that is what it was specifically designed for. This no frills system may not have the modern interface or certain newer features found in other PMS companies, but at a fraction of the cost it gets the job done and deserves consideration.
