Lodgix Review
A budget-friendly, full-featured vacation rental PMS with one of the cheapest OTA channel fees in the category — but the $79.99 floor and optional add-on modules add up fast for a solo host.
Pros
- 30-day free trial with every feature unlocked, no credit card required to start
- Flat $79.99/month covers up to 7 properties, so the per-unit cost drops sharply as you approach that ceiling
- Only a 0.5% channel fee on Airbnb and Vrbo bookings (2% on other OTAs), and zero fee on direct website or phone bookings
- Base plan includes digital signatures, damage/travel insurance, unlimited team members, and two mobile apps (Lodgix Admin + Staylio) at no extra cost
- Independently verified 4.8/5 rating across 171 Capterra reviews, with support responsiveness repeatedly cited as a strength
Cons
- $79.99/month floor applies even to a single property — expensive next to per-listing AI tools for a solo host
- Property Management module ($29.99/mo) and QuickBooks Sync ($25/mo) are separate paid add-ons on top of the base subscription
- Pricing for portfolios above 7 properties isn't published — the pricing page's own tier slider stops showing numbers past that point
- No refunds and no prorated billing if you cancel mid-cycle, per its own pricing page
- Capterra reviewers flag basic/limited reporting, occasional emails landing in spam, and no way to import data from other systems
Lodgix is a web-based vacation rental property management system (PMS) that bundles a reservation calendar, a channel manager for OTAs, guest-messaging automation, digital contracts, and two mobile apps into one subscription. On its own site, Lodgix markets itself as “easy-to-use, cost effective, vacation rental management software” built to let smaller operators “compete with the ‘big boys’” without paying enterprise-PMS prices — no mandatory demo, no contract, and no credit card required to start a trial.
Pricing
Per Lodgix's pricing page, the base plan is a flat $79.99/month for 1–7 properties. The page shows a property-count slider running from 1–7 up through 71+ properties, but it doesn't display the actual per-tier rate for anything past 7 units — you'd have to move the slider yourself (or sign up) to see what an 8-, 20-, or 50-property portfolio costs. On top of the base fee, Lodgix's channel manager page lists a 0.5% fee on bookings from Airbnb and Vrbo, 2% on “all other channels,” and 0% on direct website or phone bookings. Two modules are billed separately: a Property Management module at $29.99/month and a QuickBooks Sync module at $25/month, both optional. The base plan includes unlimited team members, digital signatures, damage and travel insurance, and the Lodgix Admin and Staylio mobile apps at no extra cost. There's a 30-day free trial with no credit card required that unlocks every feature, no setup fees, and you can cancel anytime — but the pricing page is explicit that there are no refunds and no prorated charges.
Who it's for
Lodgix fits a vacation rental owner or small property manager running somewhere around 5–7 or more properties, where the flat $79.99 floor divides down to a genuinely competitive per-unit price and the accounting/owner-statement add-ons start to earn their keep. It's a weaker fit for a single-listing host: you're paying full PMS-level pricing — plus, potentially, two optional modules — for a feature set built around managing a portfolio rather than automating one listing's guest conversation.
What we could verify
We checked Lodgix's Capterra listing directly and confirmed an overall rating of 4.8 out of 5 stars across 171 reviews. The recurring positives match the company's own pitch: reviewers describe the interface as easy to use, call out fast and responsive customer support, and note solid calendar sync and trigger-email automation. One reviewer, Sharon G., wrote:
"The response rate is fantastic!! They are always there to answer."
— Sharon G., Capterra review of Lodgix
On the negative side, the same review set raises basic/limited reporting, guest emails occasionally landing in spam, no way to import existing data from another system when switching over, and a handful of users pushing back on the percentage-of-sales portion of the fee structure. We also tried to pull Lodgix's G2 profile and its Trustpilot page for a second independent read; both blocked automated access with a 403 error during our research, so we can't confirm or add to those specific figures here — Capterra is the one third-party record we were able to verify directly.
How it compares to our top pick
Lodgix and BnBGenius aren't built for the same job. Lodgix is a real PMS — the calendar, the channel connections, digital contracts, and, via a paid add-on, the accounting and owner statements a multi-property manager needs. BnBGenius is a flat-fee AI layer that sits on top of whatever booking setup you already have, with no PMS purchase required: a phone concierge, task automation, review generation, and gap-night upsells, free for your first 500 messages and then $10/month flat regardless of how many listings you run.
If you're managing 5+ properties and want a genuine back-office system — with a cheap 0.5% channel fee to boot — Lodgix's base price is competitive and its Capterra record holds up under direct verification. If you're a single-listing host who just wants the guest-facing busywork automated without a $79.99/month PMS floor or optional add-on modules, BnBGenius gets you there for a flat $10.
