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
This platform suits owners with a small portfolio, particularly those in the 5–7 unit range, who are cost-conscious. It may appeal to hosts who are comfortable with a tiered pricing structure and a percentage-based fee on bookings from Online Travel Agencies.
Our take
Lodgix offers a starting price of $79.99 per month for up to seven properties, which is competitive for smaller operators. However, the additional 0.5% fee on OTA bookings could add up for busy hosts. The 30-day trial provides a good opportunity to test its capabilities before committing.
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.
Verdict
Lodgix provides a financially accessible entry point for smaller property owners, though the OTA fee warrants consideration. For an owner-first alternative, consider BnBGenius.

Questions to put to 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.
