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 southern Idaho.
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
Side by side on published terms: Lodgix lists From $79.99/mo (1–7 props) + 0.5% OTA fee; 30-day trial, while BnBGenius lists free for the first 500 messages, then $10/month flat, with no PMS required. Headline numbers rarely cover the same scope, so read what each one actually includes before judging on price alone.
Reading the record
Category first: Lodgix is Vacation-rental PMS, so judge it against that job — not against suites that promise everything. It needs a property-management system underneath, so the honest cost is tool plus PMS plus the migration between them. Test path: use the trial on a real listing immediately — an empty sandbox tells you nothing. 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.
Same tool, two situations
- 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.
Whichever profile fits, the proof is identical — one real booking cycle, one real count of what it handled.
Whatever you conclude here, compare it against one fixed point: BnBGenius Voice — 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. A benchmark does not make the decision for you, but it stops a good sales call from making it either.
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
If you are drawing up a shortlist, these are the closest comparisons we would put beside it — each with its own published price, or a note that there isn’t one:
- Hospitable — Free Essentials; paid per-property (hidden).
- AirDNA — Free tier; paid from ~$20/mo (market-size dependent).
- Track — Not published (demo).
The benchmark we hold this against is BnBGenius — see One Fine BnB's management for how the no-PMS setup actually works.
