What it is

Website-builder-first vacation-rental platform for independent hosts, rebranded in May 2026 around an AI Co-Host, a Beyond-powered pricing engine and AI-search discoverability - most of which is announced rather than shipped.

  • Headquarters: Spain (Barcelona)
  • Founded: 2012
  • Vendor site: Lodgify

Who it is for

1-5 property independent hosts whose priority is a direct-booking website with a channel manager attached, at a genuinely low entry price and 0% booking fee.

The AI, capability by capability

Six capabilities, each graded against Lodgify’s own published material. The grade describes evidence, not enthusiasm: Documented means the vendor documents it; Vendor claim only means it appears in marketing copy with no documentation, ship date or plan tier behind it.

AI guest messaging

An 'AI-powered unified inbox' is listed on the entry Basic plan, and Lodgify has previously shipped a GPT-powered AI Assistant for guest messaging. The flagship 'Lodgify AI Co-Host' is NOT yet shipped - announced 13 May 2026 as 'coming this summer', with early access at cohost.lodgify.com. Lodgify is explicit that it will be approve-first: 'You review it, adjust if needed, and approve. Nothing happens without you.'

AI dynamic pricing

An existing 'Dynamic Pricing' add-on is sold today. An all-new Dynamic Pricing engine 'powered by Beyond' was announced 13 May 2026 and stated to be 'rolling out to everyone this summer' - it recommends a base price and a floor from the last 90 days of bookings and lets the host override. GA not confirmed as of 28 Jul 2026.

Agentic / MCP surface

No MCP server. Lodgify's AI-era play is discoverability rather than agency: a free AI-readiness scorer at aiready.lodgify.com is live, and a direct ChatGPT connection that would match a traveller's described stay to a host's direct-booking page was announced 13 May 2026 as 'this summer, we're piloting' - a pilot, not a shipped capability.

Pricing, as published

Transparency grade: Published. BLUEPRINT FLAG RESOLVED. The pricing page returns HTTP 403 to server-side fetchers but renders publicly in a browser - verified in-browser 28 Jul 2026. Prices ARE published. Any monitoring pipeline for Lodgify must use a browser-like agent, not a plain HTTP fetch.

Lodgify is one of 8 of 12 platforms in this index publish pricing in full. The comparison is derived from the same pricing_published field for every vendor; it is not an editorial ranking.

Entry price. Basic: $18/month standard, shown at $14/month under the live July promo — per month at the default 1-property setting; the page has a property-count selector and a Monthly / Yearly / Bi-Yearly toggle, and states 'Pricing varies based on the number of properties you manage'. Source

Published tiers

  • Basic: $18/month standard, $14/month promo (Save 20%)
  • Starter: $33/month standard, $24/month promo (Save 25%)
  • Professional: $53/month standard, $26/month promo (Save 50%)
  • Ultimate: $77/month standard, $39/month promo (Save 50%)

Minimum commitment. None. 'There's no long-term contract. You can cancel your subscription at any time.' No setup fee; free onboarding included; 7-day free trial, no credit card.

Add-ons

  • Dynamic Pricing, Smart Locks and Damage Protection are sold as add-ons. No add-on prices are published.

Caveats recorded against this pricing

  • Which billing toggle (Monthly / Yearly / Bi-Yearly) was active when these figures rendered could not be confirmed - the cookie-consent banner blocked interaction and was not accepted. The FAQ says 'Save 50% on Professional and Ultimate yearly plan', which implies the displayed prices are yearly-billed. Re-verify the monthly-billed figures before publishing the pricing table.
  • A 'July Promo' was live at check time, stated on the page to run 7 July to 31 July 2026 (23:59) and to apply to the first 500 new customers only. Prices are exclusive of tax and subject to exchange rate at payment.
  • BLUEPRINT FLAG RESOLVED. The pricing page returns HTTP 403 to server-side fetchers but renders publicly in a browser - verified in-browser 28 Jul 2026. Prices ARE published. Any monitoring pipeline for Lodgify must use a browser-like agent, not a plain HTTP fetch.

Lodgify’s published pricing cannot be turned into a monthly total from a property count, so it is listed under “won’t publish pricing” on the true cost calculator rather than being estimated.

What it is genuinely best at

1-5 property independent hosts whose priority is a direct-booking website with a channel manager attached, at a genuinely low entry price and 0% booking fee.

Who should not buy this

Anyone buying Lodgify for the AI. As of 28 July 2026 the AI Co-Host is an early-access signup, the new Dynamic Pricing engine is 'rolling out this summer', the free Direct plan is 'available this summer', and the ChatGPT booking connection is a pilot - four of the five headline announcements from the 13 May reveal are still future-dated. What ships today is an 'AI-powered unified inbox'. Also wrong for larger managers: there are no owner statements, trust accounting or team-permission depth at this price point, and the four-tier ladder is designed around website features rather than portfolio scale.

The release record we monitor

www.lodgify.com Live and public, but returns HTTP 403 to server-side fetchers - browser-verified 28 Jul 2026. The listing page shows no dates; individual posts carry ISO dates in their Article schema (e.g. new-brand-reveal published 2026-05-13T09:32:29+00:00), so the monitor must open each post to date it.

Compare with

Alphabetically adjacent, not a recommendation

Jurny

The most aggressive 'AI-native' claimant in the category - an AI operating system ('jOS') fronted by a multi-agent assistant called NIA, sold as a low base price plus five stacked per-unit AI add-ons.

Alphabetically adjacent, not a recommendation

OwnerRez

The transparency benchmark of the category: every price, every add-on and every release is publicly documented and dated. Ships one real AI product - Rezzy AI, a $9/property/month guest-messaging and task assistant - and does not claim more than that.
