Hostfully vs. OwnerRez
Which property management solution is right for you?
Why choose Hostfully over OwnerRez?
Every business owner is different and has unique goals. But whether you manage a handful of listings or want to build your portfolio, the right software ensures you’re ready for whatever comes next.
If you’re looking for the essentials and comfortable getting hands-on, OwnerRez is a popular choice. The property management solution (PMS) offers all the core features for a competitive price.
Where OwnerRez stops at the basics, Hostfully offers an all-in-one solution to support diverse needs and support growth. Our variety of features lets you automate booking management while delighting guests and building a recognizable brand.
Dedicated support to help you succeed
OwnerRez lets you get started on your own. If you’d prefer to have extra guidance, you can pay an extra fee for guided onboarding.
At Hostfully, we handle support differently. Everyone gets an onboarding specialist to walk them through the first steps regardless of their plan or number of properties.
Managing four or more properties? Hostfully recognizes your software needs are likely to be more complex so we assign you a dedicated customer success manager. You can contact them with any questions and get directed to the right specialists to resolve any issues.
Best of all, the Hostfully team is available 24/7 through our live chat feature so you never have to worry about reaching us when there’s a problem.
Features packed for growth and scalability
Individuals and small businesses often only require the basics. That’s why they might consider OwnerRez with its channel manager, team access, and digital signatures.
If you need more functionality, OwnerRez lets you add tools like property management and guest messaging for an extra fee per month.
Hostfully takes a different approach by including all the essentials like our unified inbox and booking calendar in our starter plan. All users can also enjoy our unique booking pipeline, which gives you total visibility over the booking process. As you build your portfolio and need more advanced features, you can access advanced tools like our custom branding and AI assistant.
As Hostfully caters to a diverse audience, we also provide a variety of integrations, such as smart home tech, website development, and guest screening.
Tailored property management solutions to fit your business needs
OwnerRez pricing starts low to cater to property managers on a tight budget. You only have to pay the monthly subscription plus a fee for each property you manage.
Whereas Hostfully pricing is based solely on the size of your portfolio to help you scale. We don’t charge any extras for integrations and add-ons or apply a booking fee.
What’s more, Hostfully offers custom pricing for anyone managing over 20 listings through our Premium plan. You only get the features you need and no unnecessary extras. And to keep supporting you as you expand, all our Premium plan customers get unlimited in-app calls.

Why customers switch from OwnerRez to Hostfully
“Rapid Deployment
Wish we could have found Hostfully first and avoided headaches and hassle with other PMS.
[Hostfully] is the easiest to get started. We have tried several others with frustration. The support team is amazing and prompt with answers. They follow up and make sure everything is resolved. The onboarding calls were excellent.”
“Top rated for many reasons. Great company culture and leadership.
Not only game-changing for operations and increased revenue but also peace of mind knowing team members have better access to operations to help make them successful in their various support roles.”
Making the switch from OwnerRez to Hostfully is easy
If you’ve been with your current PMS for a while, changing solutions may feel like a risk. You might ask yourself whether the benefits of the OwnerRez alternative outweigh all the potential upheaval to your business.
Hostfully gets it. We’ve developed our onboarding process with both complete newcomers and software veterans in mind. Whether you’re getting your first system set up or migrating all your existing data, you can expect a smooth start.
Our onboarding process begins with a kickoff call, where you meet the team and get your questions answered. Afterward, you arrange a one-on-one with your dedicated onboarding specialist. They guide you through setup, helping you through complex tasks like enabling channels and going live.
And Hostfully goes as fast or as slow as you need. You can decide whether you’d prefer to get set up quickly or take your time learning all our features.
