The published facts, in plain English
Lodgix is Vacation-rental PMS. It lists its pricing as 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 New York City.
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.
What the record says about fit
Lodgix files under Vacation-rental PMS; the fair test is how well it does that one job on a live listing. It needs a property-management system underneath, so the honest cost is tool plus PMS plus the migration between them. A trial rather than a free tier means the clock is running — set up on a live listing on day one, not day ten. Published pricing of From $79.99/mo (1–7 props) + 0.5% OTA fee; 30-day trial makes the value math checkable before you commit.
Same tool, two situations
- The remote self-manager. Automation earns its keep fastest at a distance — every task Lodgix genuinely takes over is a drive you do not make. Factor the PMS requirement into that math.
- The one-listing host. At one property, tooling should cost minutes and pocket change — check what Lodgix’s model costs at your actual size, not at the portfolio scale the marketing pictures.
Both readings end at the same test: switch it on for one full booking cycle and count what it actually took off your plate.
Before you decide, put one benchmark beside it: answer guest calls automatically — 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. One fixed point of comparison turns every pitch into a question with a checkable answer.
Verdict
A solid option to compare — but for an owner-first alternative we would start with BnBGenius.

What we would ask 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
Worth putting on the same shortlist. We have listed what each one publishes, and where nothing is published we say so:
- Hospitable — Free Essentials; paid per-property (hidden).
- Akia — Not published (Talk to Sales).
- RoomPriceGenie — Not published (quote, annual).
For the owner-first comparison we keep coming back to, our first pick is BnBGenius — see BnBGenius for how the no-PMS setup actually works.
