Looking for a Guesty alternative?
Vortex PMS is the published-pricing PMS for every property type — vacation rentals, villas, hotels, condo-hotels, multi-property groups. Same OTA reach as Guesty, no per-listing surcharge, native owner statements.
If you're a Guesty for Hosts user wondering why the bill keeps growing, or a Guesty Pro user paying enterprise prices for a small portfolio, Vortex PMS's per-room pricing is more honest.

Channel manager included.
Booking.com, Airbnb, Expedia, Agoda, Vrbo + 300 more. Real-time ARI sync (sub-30-second propagation). No separate channel-manager subscription, no per-channel surcharge.
Setup is free, migration is on us — and a human does it with you.
There is no setup fee, no implementation package and no paid training tier. More than that: we set the property up with you — email or WhatsApp coordination while we build out your rooms, rates, policies and channel connections, rather than handing you a help centre and wishing you luck. No call is required.
This isn’t a stripped-back version of onboarding — it’s the opposite. Our team checks your whole setup so your first booking goes out right: rooms mapped, rates correct, channels connected, nothing half-configured. You go live confident, not alone with a help centre. We give every host this personal setup today, and the AI-guided setup already in the app takes on more of it as we grow — so it stays this fast for everyone.
To be clear about what happens when: start your free month and the hands-on setup runs straight away — we move your real property across and connect Booking.com, Airbnb, Expedia and Agoda to live inventory first, at no charge. Your 30 free days start the day that work is done and you are taking bookings, and we only ask for a card five days before they run out. If you take the explore trial instead, it runs on a pre-loaded sample property, so there is nothing to migrate and nothing to connect until you subscribe.
Guesty doesn't publish what onboarding costs.
Guesty lists no setup, onboarding or implementation fee on its pricing page. It describes onboarding as a service its team provides to get listings connected, without stating a cost.

Switching from Guesty
Guesty (HQ Tel Aviv) is one of the largest vacation-rental PMSes, ~20,000 listings under management. Mature product, strong automation; per-listing pricing and tier-based feature gating are common operator complaints.
Make the switch from Guesty.
First month free. Migration is on us.
No card to start. We move you across ourselves at no charge, and your free month begins once your channels are connected and you are taking bookings — 30 days with the whole product, channel manager and booking engine included. We email you five days before it ends: add a card to carry on, or do nothing and you have paid nothing. 20-minute AI-guided setup. Monthly plans can be cancelled before any renewal. The annual plan is discounted because it is a 12-month commitment. Free month = your real bookings · explore trial and demo = sample data.
Migration is on us. We set up your property, reconnect your channels, and move your bookings and rates for you — no downtime.
