Will my Hostfully integrations transfer?

Balanced view

What Hostfully does well — and where Aura wins

Hostfully is genuinely good at

Vacation-rental focus

Built specifically for short-term rental managers.

Property-marketing toolkit

Decent property-page builder for direct marketing.

Where Aura is materially better

Linear flat-fee pricing

$12/property + $3/room — no band-based jumps.

Native owner statements

Automated monthly statement generation, OTA commission deducted, owner portal.

Multi-property native

One account, every property, cross-property reporting.

Where Hostfully commonly frustrates operators

Per-listing band pricing

Cost stepped by listing count; jumps between bands surprise operators.

No owner-statement workflow

Property managers running rentals for owners build statements outside the product.

Built into every Aura plan

Owner statements, automated.

Per-unit revenue attribution. Monthly statement generation. OTA commission deducted automatically, management fee applied, PDF + CSV per owner — emailed in one click.

The most-asked-for capability Hostfully doesn't have, and the reason multi-property operators switch fastest.
