Property managers across the industry face a common challenge: finding software that keeps operations simple while including the advanced tools they need to grow.
Many turn to either Hostfully or Uplisting. The two property management solutions (PMS) include all the essentials like automation and channel management and let you easily add tools as you build your portfolio.
But Hostfully is the ideal choice if you’re looking to expand. Our comprehensive features, advanced customization options, and extensive integrations provide the flexibility you need to scale effectively.
Both Uplisting and Hostfully make their customers the number one priority. You can contact either one 24/7 through the live chat feature so you’re never left hanging with a serious issue.
When you’ve accrued ten properties, Uplisting assigns you a dedicated customer success manager. This gives you one point of contact and saves you from explaining what you need over and over again.
Hostfully understands that many property managers need more support from an earlier point. That’s why we offer everyone a customer success manager from just four properties onwards.
If you subscribe to one of Hostfully’s custom plans, you also get unlimited in-app calls. You can connect securely and quickly without worrying about incurring extra costs.
Uplisting has all the core features like a channel manager and calendar. When you need more advanced tools, you can add the client portal and statements for an extra fee per month.
If you’re looking for a more comprehensive solution, Hostfully includes all the essentials from our lowest-cost plan. You can access workflow automation, client management, and guest communication tools with even just one property. Our standout feature is our booking pipeline, which lets you manage every step of each guest’s stay from booking to checkout.
Looking to add specialized solutions? Hostfully connects with over 60 apps from accounting and dynamic pricing to smart tech and we’ll continue to add more to our integrations marketplace.
Only pay for what you need. Uplisting and Hostfully pricing are on a sliding scale to match the number of properties you manage, keeping costs fair and straightforward.
Uplisting pricing plans consist of the subscription plus a small fee for each property. As you expand your portfolio, the subscription gradually increases. Hostfully, on the other hand, takes a simpler approach by charging one low rate per month.
Both platforms also offer custom plans for those managing multiple properties. As we understand growing businesses need more flexibility, Hostfully even includes custom engineering and access to our API.

“Hostfully is my go-to for property management, and here’s why it’s a winner in my book:
Firstly, it’s easy to use. Navigating the platform is a breeze, whether you’re listing a new property or managing bookings. Everything is straightforward and intuitive, saving me time and hassle.
But what really sets Hostfully apart is its top-notch support system. Got a question or need help? The support team is fantastic. They’re quick to respond and always ready to assist, ensuring that any issues are resolved promptly.
And let’s talk about speed. Hostfully doesn’t keep you waiting. Feedback is fast, keeping my operations running smoothly without any unnecessary delays.
In short, Hostfully is a gem for property management. It’s user-friendly, backed by excellent support, and keeps things moving at the pace I need. If you’re looking for a hassle-free solution that delivers results, Hostfully is the way to go.”
“Life changing. Honestly.
We have worked with two other PMSs before and had bad experiences. So I was very worried and reluctant to make the cross over but I am extremely happy!
[The team] made the process super smooth and helped me set everything up perfectly. The automation has been life-changing for us, even though we have had a PMS before.
Everything is so easy and automated, giving us free time to really concentrate on our guests. 100% recommend.”
“Sweet Spot Rentals loves Hostfully
We love the people at Hostfully. They are always willing to listen to the needs you have and come up with a great implementation and timeline for it. Always willing to grow with you.
There [aren’t many cons] because if we have an issue or something we would like them to add they have been great about helping us with it.”
Hostfully understands why you might hesitate over the decision to switch to an Uplisting alternative. Changing PMS is a big step that could potentially disrupt your business operations or lead to downtime.
That’s why Hostfully takes all the uncertainty out of the onboarding process. Our team is prepared to support you whether you’re new to PMS software or transitioning from another solution.
Nobody goes through the onboarding process alone. Hostfully starts by introducing you to the team so you can ask any questions and get familiar with all the steps. Then it’s over to our dedicated onboarding specialist, who guides you through switching over platforms and integrating all your apps.
The best part is that you’re in control of the pace. You can spend time familiarising yourself with Hostfully or fast forward through to set up.
