Hostfully relies heavily on PMS tie-ins and takes a cut of the host’s upsell revenue. We highlight our Margin Protection and Limit-Bucket Pricing.
Many property managers searching for a Hostfully alternative report frustration with high platform fees on guest upsells, clunky PMS API dependencies, and rigid per-property scale taxes.
Hostfully offers upsells, but they charge platform fees/commissions that eat into the host's profit margins.
Hostfully charges a per-unit fee (approx $5-$8/property). The bigger the agency gets, the more they are punished financially.
A highly US-centric platform that pushes sponsored ads onto your guests on lower tiers, combined with frustrating locked-in contracts.
KoruStay allows hosts to connect their own Stripe account. The host keeps 100% of the revenue from late checkouts and partner deals.
KoruStay rewards scale. Our fixed limit buckets mean your cost-per-guide actually drops as your business grows.
We provide a premium, 100% ad-free experience for your guests. No hostage contracts and absolutely no lock-ins. Cancel anytime.
To replicate what KoruStay does natively, property managers often have to patch together multiple expensive subscriptions:
A basic digital guide (approx. $8 – $12/mo)
An generic AI guest messaging (approx. $10 – $20/mo)
In-guide upsell commerce software (approx. $10 – $17/mo)
Total Cost: $28 – $49+ per property/month.
