How we compiled this
Official pricing pages were re-fetched directly via WebFetch and corroborated via WebSearch and Capterra/PulseSignal where official pages returned 403 (Lodgify). Prices in GBP (Uplisting) and EUR (Smoobu) are kept in native currency with monthlyUsd=null to avoid conversion error; USD approximations noted in plan notes. Per-property and per-listing billing models are documented with the unit stated. Hostaway publishes no prices (multi-step quote form) so monthlyUsd is null. iGMS PRO/PRO+ corrected to the official $18/$21 base rates. A fabricated 'rentalduel.com' Lodgify corroboration URL was removed. accessedAt 2026-06-18.
