How to choose a Guesty alternative
- 1
What your bill is tied to
Check whether charges rise with each home, each reservation or optional tools. Guesty prices Lite by listing and limits it to three listings. Pro is priced by listing count, while pricing, damage protection, smart lock control and payments can add to the bill.
- 2
Who keeps your records
Ask what records you can take with you and what you can access later. Guesty sends reservations as a report, while listings reports are available only on Pro. An owned option keeps your records in a database you own.
- 3
Fit with your own rules
Check that the system can reflect how you manage arrivals, cleans, owner statements, payouts and local requirements. Your homes may have different night caps or registration rules. Enterprise DNA builds your version around your business and the rules each home follows.

What switching involves
Guesty emails a reservations report, and Pro users can also get a listings report. Guest messages, pricing rules and automations do not come across. Before switching, check which records you can bring, what needs setting up again and how new bookings will arrive.

Questions
Guesty alternatives, answered
How does Guesty pricing compare for a small host and a manager? expand_more
Guesty lists Lite from US$9 per listing a month for hosts with one to three listings. Property managers use Pro, which is quoted privately by listing count. Optional tools such as pricing, damage protection, smart lock control and payments can add to the plan.
Can I bring my Guesty records to a new system? expand_more
Guesty emails a reservations report as a spreadsheet. You can also get a listings report if you are on Pro. Guest messages, pricing rules and automations do not come across. Enterprise DNA brings Guesty data across when it builds your version.
Will bookings keep coming in after I switch? expand_more
The free version takes reservations from an export and does not connect to booking sites. A channel manager can keep that connection. When Enterprise DNA builds your version, it can connect your channel manager so new bookings, changes and cancellations arrive automatically.
Can the system reflect local rules and owner reporting? expand_more
Your version can be set up around each home's rules, including night caps, registration requirements and the Victorian short stay levy. It can also include owner statements with stays, commission, fees and expenses. The rule checks support your business, but they are not legal advice.
