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 the Peak to Peak.
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.
What the record says about fit
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. 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 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 — 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. 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 to pin down with 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:
- Beyond Insights — Free benchmarking; paid 1%–1.25% of bookings.
- Akia — Not published (Talk to Sales).
- OwnerRez — From $40/mo (published ladder) + add-ons.
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.
