How Much Does Guesty Cost at 4 Listings? The Lite-to-Pro Cliff, Onboarding Fees and the Fees Quoted Later (2026)

Guesty publishes no price at 4 listings. All three published rates belong to Lite, scoped to 1 to 3 listings. Here is what the fourth door actually triggers, verified October 9, 2026.

Guesty publishes no price at four listings, and four is the exact door count where its published pricing stops. The three rates Guesty does publish, $9 per listing per month plus 1% of reservation revenue, $20 per listing per month on annual billing, and $29 per listing per month month to month, all belong to Guesty Lite, which the pricing page scopes to 1 to 3 listings. Add a fourth door and you are in Guesty Pro, whose tier card reads "Get a quote" and carries no figure in any currency.

So the subscription at four doors is unknowable before a sales call. What is knowable, and what almost nobody prints, is the size of the step. Guesty publishes $35 for Lite onboarding and a typical list price of up to $5,000 for the standard implementation a Pro customer gets, which is the one-time cost changing by a factor of roughly 143 at the fourth listing. Three charges appear on the Pro invoice that do not appear on the Lite invoice. The initial term is 13 months, not 12. Below is every figure Guesty publishes, the line items it names and never prices, and what the tools that do publish a price cost at exactly four doors.

What Guesty publishes at three listings, and the exact point the number stops

Three per-listing rates, all scoped to Lite, and exactly one dollar figure on the entire pricing page. At three doors that is $87 a month on monthly billing, or $1,044 a year. On annual billing it is $60 a month, $720 a year. On the pay-as-you-grow tier it is $27 a month plus 1% of reservation revenue.

All three figures sit in the page text of the Guesty Lite page, read October 9, 2026, each prefixed "From". The $9 tier is labelled a limited time offer and bills per listing plus 1% per reservation. The $20 and $29 tiers carry no percentage. The trial is 14 days with no credit card, and it is a Lite trial: no Guesty page publishes a Pro trial either way.

The pricing page is thinner than that. Its Lite card carries no price at all. The $9 appears only inside an FAQ answer and the meta description, so the entire Guesty product line has one number in crawlable page text and it is in the fine print. Pro is described as tailored for 4 to 199 listings and priced "by your number of listings", with no rate. Enterprise covers 200 and above and reads "Customized offer". The Lite annual block renders its savings as "Save up to 30% 50%", two percentages adjacent in the same element, so the annual discount is not a figure you can quote either.

What counts as a listing matters more than the rate does. Guesty's Lite fee article states that each bookable unit counts as one listing, whether it is a whole home or a single room. A five-bedroom house rented room by room is five listings. The same house rented whole is one. An operator who thinks of themselves as having three properties can be billed as six and be pushed past Lite by their own listing structure rather than by buying anything.

The 1% is published three different ways by Guesty itself. The marketing page calls it 1% per reservation. The current Lite fee article defines it as 1% of total monthly reservation revenue, covering rental income, additional guest fees and extra services revenue, billed monthly against the check-in date. The legacy help centre, last updated May 15, 2023, defines it as 1% of the total price less the guest channel fee. Those are different bases. On a channel-heavy portfolio they produce different bills, and Guesty has not retired either definition.

A per-listing subscription lands in your bank feed as one merchant line covering every door, which is why software almost never shows up in per-door margin. MagicBNB's Recurring rules let you mark that charge once so every future transaction from the same merchant ties to the same property split, and it backfills the past matches too. At $87 across three doors that is $29.00 a door. If the fourth door arrives and the bill is quoted at $200, it is $50.00 a door, and those two numbers lead to different decisions about which door you keep.

The onboarding step: $35 on Lite, up to $5,000 on Pro

Guesty publishes both numbers, in two different places, and neither is a pricing page. The Lite figure is $35. The Pro figure is a ceiling of $5,000.

The $35 comes from the Guesty for Hosts migration FAQ, updated February 10, 2026, which describes an optional Premium Onboarding service delivered by a partner with full configuration inside 24 hours. It is scoped to Lite users.

The Pro figure comes from the terms and conditions of a May 2026 free-onboarding promotion, effective May 1, 2026, which states that the standard onboarding services being given away have a "typical list price of up to USD $5,000, depending on customer configuration and needs". Eligible Pro customers got them free if the agreement was signed by May 31, 2026. Enterprise was excluded, and excluded services "may be subject to additional fees".

Two caveats, because this figure is doing a lot of work. It is a ceiling, not a rate: "up to" covers everything from zero upward. And it comes from expired promotional terms rather than a live price list, so it describes what Guesty said the waived services were worth in May, not what it will charge you in October. It is still the only Pro onboarding figure Guesty publishes anywhere, which is the point.

Guesty's own Pro onboarding terms page carries no dollar figures at all. What it does publish is the shape of the engagement: the onboarding package is sized by listing count, extra hours are bought by contacting Guesty, allocated hours expire 60 days from the effective date, time is rounded up to the nearest 15 minutes, a reschedule needs 24 hours of notice by email, a no-show can cost you an hour off the allocation, and the whole engagement can be closed out after seven consecutive business days of you not replying. A paid implementation with an expiry date and a no-show penalty is a different kind of commitment from a $35 configuration service.

Of eighteen pages ranking for this question on October 9, 2026, nine discuss a Guesty onboarding fee and none cites either Guesty figure. Their guesses run $150 to $2,000, $300 to $1,000, $300 to $1,500, $500 or more, and "a few hundred to several thousand dollars". Guesty published a number. Nine pages estimated around it.

Three charges on the Pro invoice that do not exist on the Lite one

Onboarding, a Listing Activation Fee and a Monthly Minimum Fee. Guesty names all three on its Pro invoice guide, prices none of them, and names none of them on the Lite invoice guide.

The Pro invoice guide lists 22 possible line items. Onboarding is described as a "One-time charge for onboarding to the Guesty platform". A separate one-time Accounting Onboarding Fee exists for the accounting module. The Monthly Minimum Fee is described as "a contractually negotiated term that doesn't depend on the type of billing plan you have". A Listing Activation Fee is named and never explained. Only one per-unit figure appears on the whole page: $0.95 per ACH transaction for users on the accounting module.

The Lite invoice guide lists six line items: software, the PriceOptimizer fee, Locks Manager, Guesty Shield, liability coverage and premium channels. No onboarding. No activation fee. No minimum. So the fee architecture itself changes at the Lite boundary, and Guesty documents that change in its own two invoice articles without ever connecting them.

• The Monthly Minimum Fee is the one that bites hardest at four doors. A minimum set for a company running 40 listings, applied to an operator running four, means paying for capacity you do not own. Guesty publishes no amount and no floor, and says only that it is negotiated per contract.
• It also sets your exit cost. The terms of service price early termination as a fee equal to the Minimum Monthly Fee multiplied by the months left in the term, so the cost of leaving is a multiple of a number that is never published.
• The Payment Gateway Fee appears on the Pro invoice as "Payment Gateway Fee %". The Lite help article on it publishes no rate and tells you the fee can be viewed in the Stripe dashboard. It is charged per transaction attempt, including the first failed attempt.
• GuestyPay card processing runs 2.9% plus $0.30 per transaction in the United States, and 1.5% plus 0.20 GBP or 0.25 EUR in the United Kingdom and Europe. GuestyPay is a Pro and Enterprise feature. Lite lists Stripe alone, so the processor options also change at the fourth door.
• Host-side cancellations carry a flat $3 on Agoda, Airbnb, Booking.com and Vrbo for percentage-billed accounts, and the higher of $3 or a percentage on Guesty Website, Booking Engine, Google Vacation Rentals and manual reservations. The percentage is "calculated according to the rates in your Guesty agreement".
• Multi-user access is Pro-only, per Guesty's own Lite help centre. Adding a second person to the account is therefore its own reason to cross the boundary, independent of door count, and no Guesty page publishes a seat count or a seat price for either tier.

No. All costs are clear and set out before you sign your contract.

That is Guesty's pricing-page answer to its own FAQ question about hidden fees, read October 9, 2026. It is literally true and it is not reassuring, because nothing above is disclosed before the quote. It is disclosed before signature, which is a different promise and a much later one.

What the fourth door has to earn to carry the step

At three doors on monthly billing the software is $1,044 a year and fully knowable. At four doors the subscription is a quote and the one-time implementation is published only as a ceiling of $5,000, so the fourth door has to clear an unknown recurring cost plus a one-time charge that could reach half its first-year profit.

Work it through on a composite that matches what most operators at this size actually run. Three doors on Guesty Lite monthly, $87 a month, $1,044 a year. A fourth door comes in and underwrites to $9,400 of net profit in year one. On Lite's published $29 the fourth listing would have cost $348 a year, taking the bill to $116 a month. It cannot, because Lite's published pricing does not extend there.

Instead the fourth listing routes to a Pro quote plus implementation. If that implementation lands at the published $5,000 ceiling, it takes 53.2% of the fourth door's entire first-year profit before a single subscription dollar is counted. If it lands at zero, as it did for anyone who signed in May 2026, the step costs nothing but the subscription. Guesty publishes both ends of that range and nothing in between, and the 13-month initial term means you commit before you find out which end you got.

The comparison that makes this concrete: Hospitable Professional at four properties computes to $89 a month, $1,068 a year, against the $1,044 you were already paying at three doors on Guesty Lite monthly. That is $24 more a year for an extra door, with "No Onboarding Fees" published on the page. OwnerRez at four properties is $80 a month, $960 a year, which is $84 less than the three-door Guesty Lite bill. Neither figure requires a call.

Whether the fourth door can carry any of it is a per-door margin question, and it is the one most operators answer last. MagicBNB's Property Health Grid puts a card on the dashboard for every door with a margin-derived health dot, occupancy for the week and revenue month to date, one tap through to the full detail. A $5,000 one-time charge spread across four doors is $1,250 a door. If one of those four is already showing red, it is not the door that funds a platform migration, and that is a decision you want to make before the 13 months start rather than after.

Guesty does not publish a hard cap at three listings, and its own help centre says five

No Guesty page states an enforced cap, and the two pages that describe Lite's size disagree. The pricing page scopes Lite to 1 to 3 listings. The Lite help centre article explaining what Guesty Lite is describes it as suiting property managers with five or fewer listings.

Every instance of the boundary on Guesty's marketing site is suitability language, worded as tailored for or perfect for rather than as a ceiling. Not one page says maximum, and not one page describes what the product does when a fourth listing is added. Four of eighteen ranking pages assert a hard cap of three anyway, one of them using the word maximum. Seven mention the range without framing it as a limit. Seven never mention a listing count at all, and none of the eighteen notices that Guesty's own help centre says five.

The quote funnel disagrees with the tier structure too. Guesty sells on 1 to 3, 4 to 199 and 200 plus. Its quote form routes on 1 to 3, 4 to 49 and 50 plus, and asks a single question first: the size of your listings portfolio. An operator with four listings and an operator with 49 land in the same bucket, which tells you something useful about where a four-door quote gets priced from. The Enterprise demo form also asks for your average nightly rate before it will quote, which sits oddly against an FAQ saying Pro is priced by listing count.

What the priced alternatives cost at exactly four listings

Four of seven publish a figure you can act on at exactly four doors without speaking to anyone, and only one publishes a straight total for that door count. The ranking below is by how usable the figure is to an operator at four listings, not by price, because at this door count the published number is scarcer than a low one. Same six dimensions, same order, every tool. All read October 9, 2026.

1. OwnerRez

• Cost at exactly 4 listings: $80 a month, $960 a year. The pricing page returns a total for the exact property count you set, verified across adjacent rungs at $70 for three and $88 for five.
• Ladder: a published total per door count on a declining marginal rate, $10 for the fourth door and $8 for the fifth. No tier change at four.
• Per-booking percentage: none. The page states no commissions, no guest fees and no per-booking fees.
• Setup fee: none published, alongside no booking fees and no contracts.
• Where the figure lives: page text, driven by a property-count stepper that writes the count into the URL. A footnote adds usage fees above 500 outbound message segments with no amount published, so $80 is not guaranteed all-in.
• Best for: an operator who wants the price before the conversation. It is the only tool in this set that answers the four-listing question in one page load.

2. Hospitable

• Cost at exactly 4 listings: $89 a month computed, $1,068 a year, from a $59 base including two properties plus $15 for each additional one. Annual billing takes 12% off, which is $78.32 a month computed.
• Ladder: a base including a set number of properties, then a flat per-additional rate. Four forces a tier change: Host is $29 including one property plus $10 each but tops out at two properties, so a four-door operator cannot buy Host at any price.
• Per-booking percentage: none on the subscription. Direct Booking is separate and published at 1% on the basic site, or 4% plus a 3% processing fee on the premium one, with 7% on custom upsells.
• Setup fee: none. The page says "No Onboarding Fees". A paid guided onboarding exists and its price is not published.
• Where the figure lives: help centre article 4596748. The pricing page renders all three base prices as the placeholder "$ -- /mo", so the public pricing page cannot answer the question at any door count.
• Best for: an operator who wants a published number at four doors and will read a help centre article to get it. One flag: the Mogul per-additional rate is $15 on the pricing page and $30.00 in the help centre, and Hospitable does not reconcile them.

3. Uplisting

• Cost at exactly 4 listings: GBP 40 a month flat on Independent Host, which the page states covers portfolios up to four properties. Four is the last door that fits, so a fifth forces Operator at a GBP 90 floor plus GBP 16 a listing.
• Ladder: flat to the cap, then a floor plus a per-listing rate, with your price being the higher of the two.
• Per-booking percentage: optional and published as an alternative. A GBP 0 per month plan charges 3% per booking at one to four properties and 1.5% at five to ten.
• Setup fee: none, with a free one-to-one onboarding session on every plan, no contract and no notice period.
• Where the figure lives: page text, in pounds only. The currency selector needs JavaScript and the page says local pricing is still being finalised, so no dollar figure is published at all. The same plan card also captions the GBP 40 as covering five properties on a plan it twice says is capped at four.
• Best for: a UK or European operator at four doors or fewer. A US operator has to convert the figure on a rate Uplisting does not publish.

4. Smoobu

• Cost at exactly 4 listings: EUR 71 a month computed on monthly billing, from EUR 35 for the first property plus EUR 12 for each additional one. Annual billing takes 10% off, which is EUR 63.90 a month computed, and a two-year term takes 20%.
• Ladder: a first-property base plus a flat per-additional rate. No tier change at four.
• Per-booking percentage: only on Professional Flex, a separate plan at EUR 29 a month with a 0.9% commission per booking. Every prepaid plan is commission-free.

• Setup fee: none published.
• Where the figure lives: help centre article text. The prices page shows discounted prepaid figures with no unit count attached, which is why the EUR 35 and the widely quoted EUR 9.60 look like a contradiction and are not: EUR 12 less the 20% two-year discount is EUR 9.60 exactly.
• Best for: a euro-billed operator who wants a commission-free published rate. The figure is only reachable from the help centre, not the prices page.

5. Hostfully

• Cost at exactly 4 listings: not computable. Growth is "Starting at $15 per property per month" and Pro is "Starting at $25", and both are followed by "+ platform fee" with no amount anywhere on the page. Four doors is at least $60 a month plus an undisclosed fee.
• Ladder: per property per month plus the unquantified platform fee, and even the per-property figure is a floor rather than a rate. Growth covers 1 to 50 listings and Pro 1 to 199, so four forces nothing.
• Per-booking percentage: Growth carries a 1% payment gateway fee and a 0.85% direct booking fee, with no stated base. Pro removes both.
• Setup fee: an onboarding assistance program marked for hire on every tier, with no price.
• Where the figure lives: page text for the two floors, and nowhere at all for the platform fee. It is not behind a calculator or a form. It is simply absent.
• Best for: an operator doing enough direct booking that Pro removing 1.85% of it matters. The $99 platform fee quoted across the web appears on no Hostfully page in any amount.

6. Guesty

• Cost at exactly 4 listings: not published, in any currency, on any Guesty page. At three listings it is $87 a month monthly, $60 annual, or $27 plus 1%.
• Ladder: per listing on Lite, scoped to 1 to 3. Pro covers 4 to 199 and publishes neither a per-listing rate nor a minimum. Pro can be billed as a fixed fee per listing charged on the 2nd of the month, or as a percentage of gross booking value defined as the sum of all invoice items on the reservation.
• Per-booking percentage: 1% on the $9 tier, and an unpublished rate on the Pro percentage model. The pricing page states Guesty charges no percentage fees on direct booking engine reservations, while its cancellation article contemplates a percentage on Booking Engine cancellations.
• Setup fee: $35 for optional Lite premium onboarding. For Pro, a typical list price of up to $5,000 from expired May 2026 promotional terms, and nothing on any current page.
• Where the figure lives: the Lite page for three rates, an FAQ answer for the fourth. Pro and Enterprise are behind a three-step quote form that buckets you as 4 to 49 listings.
• Best for: a one-to-three door operator who wants the lowest published entry price in the set, at $27 a month plus 1%. At four doors Guesty is the only tool here that cannot be priced at all, which is the detail every comparison skips.

Two more look priced and are not. Lodgify publishes $14, $26, $47 and $68 in page text while the property count and billing cycle those figures belong to are absent from the static markup, and the only two plans that state a limit are the two that cannot hold four properties. Beds24 publishes a EUR 15.50 floor with the per-unit scale living entirely inside a JavaScript calculator, plus onboarding from EUR 79.00 without saying whether that is one-time or recurring.

MagicBNB is not on that list and would lose if it were, because it is not a property management system. There is no channel manager, no unified inbox, and nothing is pushed out to the OTAs. The shipped PMS connection covers Hospitable and Hostfully with scope-aware sync across properties, reservations, payouts and reviews, and a Guesty connection is currently in development with a waitlist rather than a date. So a Guesty operator cannot connect it today. Pick the PMS on operations and price, then decide separately what reports sit on top of it.

The Guesty prices still in circulation that Guesty does not publish

Six of eighteen pages checked on October 9, 2026 price Guesty Lite at $16 or $23 per listing per month. Guesty publishes $9, $20 and $29. The $16 and $23 pair is the superseded one, and the error has been inverted: one page speculates that the $9 figure "may be legacy" when $9 is the figure currently on Guesty's own page.

One of the six is a major software directory carrying "Starting at $23.00 per month" with no publication date and no last-updated date of any kind. Three more pages print $39 for Lite, two of them owned by a direct Guesty competitor. No $39 and no $27 appears on any current Guesty page.

• Four of eighteen treat "Guesty for Hosts" as a live product. Guesty's own Lite help centre states it stopped providing support for Guesty for Hosts as of January 15, 2026, and the migration FAQ updated February 10, 2026 is built around a May 31, 2026 deadline. One of the four prices the retired product. Another quotes a legacy $26 to $129 a month range for it.
• Four of eighteen state a 2% to 5% booking commission on Guesty. Guesty publishes no commission rate at all. Its pricing page states it does not charge percentage-based fees on reservations through its direct booking engine, and its cancellation article contemplates a percentage on Booking Engine cancellations, so the accurate line is that Guesty publishes no rate and its own two pages do not agree on where one applies.
• One page states Guesty Lite charges a 35% commission per reservation, which is 35 times the published 1%, and repeats it five times including inside a worked example whose arithmetic does not reconcile with its own inputs.
• One directory lists Guesty as starting at $500 per property per month while scoring it 2 out of 10 on low cost, which reads as an unmaintained placeholder rather than a figure.
• Three of eighteen mention the 1% attached to the $9 tier. It is the most under-reported published Guesty figure in the set. The one page that scopes it correctly then omits it from its own worked example, where on its stated assumptions it would run about $22.50 a month, roughly $270 a year.

The decay is not specific to Guesty, which is why three more figures in the same toolset are still quoted and are wrong. Each was re-read October 9, 2026. AirDNA names a Host plan in its own pricing FAQ and publishes no price for it on the pricing page, the help centre plan list or the Host bundle landing page, while that same FAQ says current rates for each plan are shown above. Mashvisor Lite is $49.99 a month billed annually, not the $17.99 still in circulation, a 178% difference on the entry price. QuickBooks Online list prices read $38, $85, $140 and $340 against the $35, $65, $99 and $235 set most comparisons still carry, and a free tier now exists that four-tier tables leave out entirely.

What to get in writing before you sign a 13-month term

Nine questions, asked in the first email so the answers arrive in writing. The reason to ask early is in the terms of service, last updated August 10, 2026: the initial term "shall be valid for 13 months (including the Onboarding process)", it renews automatically for successive 12-month terms, and cancelling needs at least 30 days of notice before the end of the current term.

• What is the Monthly Minimum Fee in dollars, and does it apply at four listings? It sets your floor and it sets your exit cost, since early termination is priced as that figure multiplied by the months remaining.
• Is the Listing Activation Fee charged per listing, once, or per activation event, and in what amount? The invoice guide names it and never explains it.
• What does standard implementation cost for four listings, and is it refundable if go-live fails? The only published anchor is a typical list price of up to $5,000 from expired May 2026 promotional terms.
• Is Pro billed as a fixed fee per listing or as a percentage of gross booking value, and if percentage, at what rate? Both models are documented and neither rate is published.
• If percentage, confirm the base. Gross booking value is defined as the sum of all invoice items on the reservation, which sweeps in cleaning fees and extra services, so a 3% rate on gross is not 3% of rent.
• What is the Payment Gateway Fee percentage? Guesty invoices it as a percentage and tells you to read the number in your Stripe dashboard, which is not the same as publishing it.
• Is a listing paused at the channel still billed? On Lite the answer is yes: only deactivating it inside Guesty stops the charge, and deactivating mid-month still bills the full month.
• How many user seats are included and what does an additional one cost? Multi-user is a Pro feature per Guesty's own help centre, and no page publishes a seat count or a seat price.
• What notice do you get before a price change, and by how much can it move at renewal? The terms reserve the right to periodically adjust fees, rates, packages and payment cycles with advance notice of unspecified length.

Then do the division. Take the quoted monthly figure, add one twelfth of the implementation charge, divide by four, and put the result next to the net profit on your weakest door. A $200 quote with $3,000 of onboarding is $450 a month in year one, $112.50 a door. If your worst door clears $400 of profit in a slow month, software is 28.1% of it. That is the number the sales call will not hand you, and it is the only one that decides anything.

Frequently asked questions

How much does Guesty cost?

Guesty publishes three rates and all three belong to Guesty Lite: $9 per listing per month plus 1% of reservation revenue, $20 per listing per month billed annually, and $29 per listing per month billed monthly. At three listings that is $27, $60 or $87 a month. Guesty Pro, which covers 4 to 199 listings, and Guesty Enterprise, which covers 200 and above, publish no figure at all.

Is Guesty Lite capped at three listings?

Guesty publishes no hard cap, and its own two pages give different numbers. The pricing page scopes Lite to 1 to 3 listings and the Lite help centre article describes it as suiting managers with five or fewer. Every instance on the marketing site is suitability language rather than a stated maximum, and no Guesty page describes what happens when a fourth listing is added. Confirming the enforced limit needs an account, so treat the three-listing cap reported everywhere else as unverified.

How are Guesty Pro fees calculated?

Two ways, and Guesty publishes the mechanics without the rates. Pro can be billed as a fixed fee per listing charged on the 2nd of each month, or as a percentage of gross booking value, which Guesty defines as the sum of all invoice items on the reservation. Both the per-listing fee and the percentage are set in the individual Guesty contract rather than on any public page. A listing activated after the 2nd is charged in the next cycle.

Does Guesty charge an onboarding fee?

Yes, and the only figures Guesty publishes are $35 and a ceiling of $5,000. The $35 is an optional premium onboarding service for Lite users, described in the migration FAQ updated February 10, 2026. The $5,000 is a typical list price for standard implementation services, stated in the terms of a May 2026 promotion that gave those services away to eligible Pro customers. No current Guesty pricing page carries either number.

Are there hidden fees with Guesty?

Guesty names 22 possible invoice line items and publishes a price for exactly one of them, $0.95 per ACH transaction on the accounting module. Onboarding, the Accounting Onboarding Fee, the Listing Activation Fee, the Monthly Minimum Fee and the Payment Gateway Fee are all named and none carries an amount. Guesty's own FAQ answer is that all costs are clear and set out before you sign your contract, which is accurate and means disclosure happens at signature rather than before the quote.

Does Guesty offer a monthly plan?

Yes, at $29 per listing per month on Lite, against $20 per listing per month on annual billing. The difference is 31.0% at the same door count, so three listings cost $1,044 a year monthly and $720 a year annually. Guesty's own annual block renders its savings claim as two percentages at once, 30% and 50%, so the headline discount figure is not quotable from the page. On Pro, billing frequency is set in the contract and no cycle is published.

Key takeaways

• Guesty publishes no price at four listings: all three published rates, $9 per listing per month plus 1% of reservation revenue, $20 annual and $29 monthly, belong to Guesty Lite, and Pro covers 4 to 199 listings behind a three-step quote form with no figure in any currency.
• The one-time cost changes by a factor of roughly 143 at the fourth listing: Guesty publishes $35 for optional Lite premium onboarding and a typical list price of up to $5,000 for the standard Pro implementation, the latter only inside expired May 2026 promotional terms.
• Guesty's Pro invoice guide names 22 possible line items and publishes a price for exactly one of them, $0.95 per ACH transaction, and three of those line items, Onboarding, a Listing Activation Fee and a Monthly Minimum Fee, do not appear on the Lite invoice guide at all.
• Guesty's initial term is 13 months rather than 12, renews automatically for successive 12-month terms, needs 30 days of notice, and prices early termination as the Monthly Minimum Fee multiplied by the months remaining, so the exit cost is a multiple of an unpublished number.
• OwnerRez publishes $80 a month for exactly four properties and Hospitable computes to $89 a month on a $59 base plus $15 per additional property, which is $960 and $1,068 a year against the $1,044 a three-door operator already pays on Guesty Lite monthly.
• Six of eighteen ranking pages still price Guesty Lite at $16 or $23 per listing per month, three print $39, and four treat the retired Guesty for Hosts as a live product even though Guesty stopped supporting it on January 15, 2026.

A quote you cannot verify still has to be carried by four specific doors, so the figure to settle first is what each of them actually keeps. See profit per door in MagicBNB →

About MagicBNB

MagicBNB is portfolio analytics for operators running 2 to 20 short-term rental doors. It connects your property management system and your bank accounts and reports what each door actually kept. The Smart transaction ledger categorizes every bank transaction with a confidence band and matches deposits against the payout records from your PMS, with a multi-split dialog for charges that belong to more than one property. The Expense inbox holds only the transactions still unallocated, so a weekly 15-minute pass keeps the books current instead of leaving a quarter to reconstruct. And Portfolio Overview puts occupancy, ADR, RevPAN and net payout in one KPI strip with a shareable URL, so an owner sees the same number you do. MagicBNB is not a property management system. It is how you find out what the one you chose is costing you per door.
