What Customers Say After Switching

Don't take our word for it. Hundreds of Lodgify users have flocked to OwnerRez in the past few years - we call them "Lodgify refugees".  They rave about the differences. Here are a couple.

"Wish I had found OwnerRez first"

"Lodgify was worst experience ever. It was impossible to get any assistance in a timely manner. The rep said they never call, dont even have a phone to call out. Worse than useless. Waste of time, and over priced"

"Lodgify was way too limited and inflexible"

Basically everything I had needed so far I found a work around in OwnerRez. Or the staff helped me to find a solutions. ....Lodgify was way too limited and inflexible.

"OwnerRez is the best!"

OwnerRez does several things that Lodgify is not able to do, the biggest being the way it can nest and link different of my properties together to eliminate double bookings.

Cost Comparison

You might be familiar with the saying, "You get what you pay for," but this can vary greatly across software options. Lodgify offers a variety of features, but its pricing may not always align with the needs of "Starter" and advanced users alike. Despite OwnerRez’s more powerful and flexible capabilities, our pricing remains competitive and often more affordable for short-term rental businesses of any size.
