Hospitable meters the money. VacayOps charges one flat price.
Hospitable is genuinely good automation — the comparison here is the bill, not the craft. Its pricing stacks per-transaction fees on direct bookings, upsells, and payouts, and meters dynamic pricing per property. VacayOps is $19/property/month flat: PMS, direct connections to Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com, Google Vacation Rentals, and Hopper, operations, accounting, comms, CRM, and AI — no commissions, ever.
The features converge. The fee schedules don't.
Modern platforms all message guests and sync channels. Look instead at what happens to each dollar that moves through the system.

Why flat beats metered
No meter on the money
Hospitable's fee schedule touches the money as it moves: direct bookings, upsells, security deposits, cleaner payments, extra payout runs. VacayOps takes no commission on any of it — revenue you earn is revenue you keep.
One number to budget
$19/property/month flat, published, with exactly two add-ons: smart devices at $5/device/month and phone lines at $7/line/month. Your software cost scales with your portfolio — not with your booking volume.
The category leader, not a v1
Hospitable built its own pricing engine and meters it per property. We integrated PriceLabs — the specialist serious operators already run — synced natively into the calendar and out to every channel, with no VacayOps fee on top.
A tier plus fees vs one number
Hospitable's base tiers look modest — the meter is in the fee schedule. VacayOps has no meter.
Hospitable
Tiered+ per-transaction fees
Base plans cover 1–3 properties with extras billed each, plus $5/property/mo for dynamic pricing after the trial, 3% + 4% on Premium direct bookings, 7–10% on upsells, and fees on deposits, cleaner payments, and extra payout runs.
The total depends on how much money moves.
VacayOps
$19/property/mo base
PMS, direct channel connections, operations, accounting, comms, CRM, email marketing, website builder, and AI — unlimited users, no transaction fees on anything. Dynamic pricing stays with PriceLabs, billed by PriceLabs.
100 properties = $1,900/mo — the same in a slow month and a record month.
