Hostomat, Hospitable, Guesty and Hostaway. Side by side.

They’re good systems, older than us, and they connect to more channels. This is what each is for and what it costs to start, from their own pages in October 2026, so you can see where Hostomat is the simpler version and where it isn’t.

Where they’re ahead. Pick one of them if you need these.

  • More channels than Airbnb and Booking.com.
  • Apps in the phone app stores. Hostomat runs in the browser, on a computer and on a phone.
  • Marketplaces of other tools: locks, noise monitors, accounting and more.
  • Years of history, and teams who’ll set it up with you.

Where we’re simpler. Nothing to upgrade to.

  • One price a home, less for every home you add, with every feature in it. No plans to pick.
  • Owners who each connect their own Airbnb from a link, each with a login held to their homes.
  • A statement for every owner, every month, from money checked against the channel’s own figures.
  • A direct booking site in every account, at 0%, paid into your own Stripe.
  • Seroia, which starts in practice and waits for a person’s Approve.

Moving a home over. Plainly.

Airbnb lets an account work with one property management system at a time, so the old one is disconnected there first. Then the home connects here, inside the app.

  1. 01

    Disconnect the old one

    On its side or in Airbnb’s settings. The listing itself stays live on Airbnb.

  2. 02

    Connect here

    On Airbnb’s own screen, then pick the homes to bring in.

  3. 03

    Add Booking.com

    Each Booking.com property joins its home, so both share one calendar.

Try it on one home first.

Connect a single listing and run it for a while. Nothing is charged unless you subscribe.
