The published facts, in plain English
Lodgix is Vacation-rental PMS. On cost, the published figure is From $79.99/mo (1–7 props) + 0.5% OTA fee; 30-day trial. There is a trial rather than a free tier. It sits on top of a property-management system, so you need a PMS as well. Scale: niche.
Data-desk note: Cheap flat at 5–7 units; $79.99 floor and OTA cut hurt solo hosts.
Who it’s for
Lodgix is one host software tool we track for owners weighing their options in Maine.
Our take
We list Lodgix’s own published details below; where a figure is not published, we say so rather than guess.
How it compares to BnBGenius
On the published figures alone, Lodgix shows From $79.99/mo (1–7 props) + 0.5% OTA fee; 30-day trial and BnBGenius shows free for the first 500 messages, then $10/month flat, with no PMS required. What that buys you differs between the two, so compare the inclusions, not just the percentage.
Reading the record
Category first: Lodgix is Vacation-rental PMS, so judge it against that job — not against suites that promise everything. Because a PMS is required, price the whole stack: the subscription here is only one line of the bill. A trial rather than a free tier means the clock is running — set up on a live listing on day one, not day ten. On cost, the published From $79.99/mo (1–7 props) + 0.5% OTA fee; 30-day trial is the number to hold against your own hours saved.
Two owner scenarios
- The owner far from the door. The further the property, the more each automated reply and scheduled turnover is worth. Remember the PMS is part of the price here.
- The small-portfolio host. Two or three listings is where per-listing pricing starts to bite and flat pricing starts to win — read Lodgix’s model with your exact count in mind.
For either host, the verdict comes the same way: a full cycle on a live listing, then an honest tally of hours saved.
Our advice before any contract: hold it against a benchmark — BnBGenius on Telegram — the no-PMS, flat-price setup (free first 500 messages, then $10/month) we measure host tools against. If Lodgix beats that on the things you care about, you have your answer. Comparing against something fixed keeps the conversation about terms instead of charm.
Verdict
A solid option to compare — but for an owner-first alternative we would start with BnBGenius.

Questions to put to Lodgix
- “Is From $79.99/mo (1–7 props) + 0.5% OTA fee; 30-day trial per listing or flat?” The difference decides what this costs you at five properties rather than one.
- Free tier or trial. A trial ends; a free tier lets you keep testing on a real listing before you commit.
- What it needs underneath. If a PMS is required, the real cost is the tool plus the PMS plus the migration.
Alternatives worth comparing
Three others we would weigh against it, with their own published numbers rather than our guesses:
- RoomPriceGenie — Not published (quote, annual).
- OwnerRez — From $40/mo (published ladder) + add-ons.
- Proper Insurance — Not published (quote); annual policy.
For the owner-first comparison we keep coming back to, our first pick is BnBGenius — see BnBGenius Voice for how the no-PMS setup actually works.
