Hospitable Pricing 2026: What It Actually Costs at 2, 5, and 10 Properties

Hospitable costs $39 a month at 2 properties, $104 at 5, and $179 at 10, if you pick the cheapest viable plan at each size. The Professional plan wins at every portfolio above two doors, and it is not close: at 10 doors, Mogul charges $309 for the same property count.

Those figures come off Hospitable's published rate card rather than a sales quote. Below is the arithmetic behind them, the active-property rule that quietly inflates invoices on seasonal doors, and the one portfolio shape where Mogul returns more than it costs.

Key takeaways

  • Hospitable's Professional plan costs $59 a month for 2 included properties plus $15 per additional active property, landing at $104 at 5 doors and $179 at 10.
  • The Host plan is hard-capped at 2 properties, so every operator running 3 or more doors is choosing between Professional at $15 per extra door and Mogul at $30.
  • Mogul costs $130 a month more than Professional at 10 doors, $309 against $179, and that $1,560 a year buys owner statements, owner portals, and accounting integrations.
  • Hospitable bills a property as active if it had one check-in or had Dynamic Pricing enabled at any point in the cycle, so a muted seasonal cabin still costs $10 a month if Dynamic Pricing stayed on.
  • Annual billing takes 12% off the standard rate in exchange for a non-refundable 12-month commitment, worth $258 a year on a 10-door Professional plan.

What Hospitable Costs at 2, 5, and 10 Properties

The cheapest viable plan by portfolio size is $39 at 2 doors on Host, $104 at 5 on Professional, and $179 at 10 on Professional. Every figure here comes from Hospitable’s published pricing and subscription costs documentation, which lists a $29 base for Host with 1 property included, $59 for Professional with 2, and $99 for Mogul with 3. Additional active properties bill at $10, $15, and $30 respectively.

  • At 2 doors: Host is $39 a month ($29 base plus one property at $10), Professional is $59 flat, Mogul is $99. Host wins by $20 a month.
  • At 5 doors: Host is unavailable because it caps at 2 properties. Professional is $104 ($59 plus three at $15) and Mogul is $159 ($99 plus two at $30). Professional wins by $55 a month.
  • At 10 doors: Professional is $179 ($59 plus eight at $15) and Mogul is $309 ($99 plus seven at $30). Professional wins by $130 a month, or $1,560 a year.
  • At 20 doors: Professional is $329 ($59 plus eighteen at $15) and Mogul is $609. Per-door cost on Professional falls to $16.45, its lowest practical point.

Per-door cost is the figure to carry into a budget. Professional runs $20.80 per door at 5 properties, $17.90 at 10, and $16.45 at 20. Host at its 2-door ceiling works out to $19.50 per door. Mogul never gets below $30.45 per door, because the $30 add-on rate swamps the $99 base almost immediately.

One line item operators routinely merge is worth separating. A PMS bills you to run guest operations; it cannot tell you what a door earned after the cleaner, the utility bill, and debt service. MagicBNB’s PMS connection syncs properties, reservations, payouts, and reviews from Hospitable or Hostfully with historical backfill on first connect, so the subscription you are pricing here feeds the profitability view rather than standing in for it.

Hospitable’s Four Plans Compared

There are four plans: Essentials at $0, Host at $29, Professional at $59, and Mogul at $99. The dividing lines that decide the choice are the property cap, the per-extra-property rate, and whether direct booking and smart devices are available at all.

  • Essentials: $0 base, unlimited properties, $0 per extra property, no smart device support, no direct booking site. Dynamic Pricing is a $15 per property per month add-on after a trial of 3 bookings or 30 days.
  • Host: $29 base, 1 property included, $10 per extra, hard cap of 2 properties, no smart device support, no direct booking site. Dynamic Pricing included.
  • Professional: $59 base, 2 properties included, $15 per extra, unlimited properties, 2 smart devices per property with $5 for each extra, direct booking at 1% (Basic) or 4% plus 3% processing (Premium).
  • Mogul: $99 base, 3 properties included, $30 per extra, unlimited properties, 4 smart devices per property with $5 for each extra, the same direct booking rates, plus owner statements, owner portals, and accounting integrations.
  • Legacy (subscriptions started before May 1, 2024): $40 base, 2 properties included, $8 for the third with lower tiered rates above that. Leaving Legacy is permanent; Hospitable states the system will not allow you back onto it.

Essentials is the plan small operators underrate and multi-property operators cannot use. It carries unlimited properties at zero base cost, then strips smart device integration, direct booking, AI Auto Replies, and API access, and caps AI writing help at 10 combined uses per week. For a two-door operator with manual locks and no direct site, it is genuinely free. For anyone with a cleaner who needs door codes generated automatically, it is a trial rather than a plan.

Plan price is half the comparison. Where the feature sets actually diverge is covered in our Hospitable vs Guesty breakdown.

The Active Property Rule Is Where Operators Overpay

Hospitable counts a property as active, and bills the add-on, if it had at least one check-in during the billing cycle or had Dynamic Pricing enabled at any point in that cycle. Muting a listing on its own does not stop the charge.

Two consequences follow. A seasonal cabin you shut down for December through February stops billing only if you mute it and turn Dynamic Pricing off. Leave Dynamic Pricing running and Hospitable charges a $10 add-on for that property with zero check-ins, on any plan.

The second consequence runs in your favor. A property listed on both Airbnb and Vrbo counts as one active property provided the listings are merged, so operators running four channels off one door are not billed four times. Disconnecting a channel does not stop the base subscription, though, and Hospitable charges the base fee even when every property is muted.

Run it on a real portfolio. A seven-door mountain operator on Professional pays $59 plus five at $15, or $134 a month. Two cabins go dark December through February. Mute both and disable Dynamic Pricing and those three invoices drop to $104, saving $90 across the winter. Mute both but leave Dynamic Pricing on and the same three invoices come to $124, saving $30. The gap between those outcomes is one toggle nobody reads the documentation for.

A muted listing with Dynamic Pricing still switched on is a $10 line item for a property that hosted nobody.

When Mogul’s Premium Actually Pays

Mogul earns its premium when you manage doors for other people. At 14 properties it costs $190 a month more than Professional, $429 against $239, and that entire delta buys owner statements, owner portals, and accounting integrations.

A co-host running 14 doors for six owners pays $2,868 a year on Professional and $5,148 on Mogul. The $2,280 gap has to be covered by the reporting work it removes. Six statements a month at 40 minutes each is four hours a month, 48 hours a year, which puts breakeven at $47.50 an hour. Build those statements yourself and value your hour above that, and Mogul pays. Hand them to a VA at $22 an hour for $1,056 a year, and it does not.

Smart devices move that breakeven more than most operators expect. Professional includes 2 devices per property, Mogul includes 4, and extras are $5 each on both. Run a lock, a thermostat, and a noise sensor across all 14 doors and you need 42 devices. Professional covers 28 and bills 14 extras at $5, adding $70 a month and taking the plan to $309. Mogul covers 56 and bills nothing. The gap narrows to $120 a month, $1,440 a year, and the breakeven on that reporting hour falls to $30.

That math assumes the owner statement has to come out of the PMS. MagicBNB’s Monthly Portfolio Report Builder runs 40-plus column definitions across booking, financial, and tax groups, exports owner-ready PDF alongside accountant-ready Excel, and saves named templates so month two takes minutes. A PMS statement reports what the PMS saw; that one reconciles against the bank, which is the version an owner can challenge and lose.

The Fees That Are Not in the Subscription Line

Hospitable takes 0% commission on Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com, and Agoda bookings. It charges on four things outside the subscription: direct bookings, upsells, security deposits, and cleaner payments.

  • Direct booking: 1% per booking on the Basic plan, or 4% plus a 3% processing fee on Premium. Available on Professional and Mogul only.
  • Custom upsells: a 7% processing fee on paid plans and 10% on Essentials.
  • Security deposits: a 2% processing fee on every plan.
  • Pay Your Own Team (US only): 2.5% per clean capped at $5 on Essentials, 1.5% capped at $5 on paid plans.
  • Owner payouts on Mogul: one monthly payout run is included, and additional runs carry a 1.5% fee capped at $5.

Direct booking is the line that scales into real money. A 10-door operator doing $40,000 a month in direct revenue pays $400 a month on Basic and $2,800 on Premium at 4% plus 3% processing. Annualised, that is $4,800 against $33,600, on top of a $2,148 subscription. Set the Premium figure beside a channel charging 3% host-side and it stops reading as a booking engine and starts reading as a channel.

Percentage fees disappear into a payout total and stay invisible until someone reconciles. MagicBNB’s Smart transaction ledger categorizes every bank transaction with a confidence band, splits one transaction across multiple properties, and matches deposits against the payout records pulled from the PMS. A 3% processing fee that never made it onto a spreadsheet surfaces as a variance between what the PMS said you earned and what actually cleared.

Annual or Monthly: The 12% Question

Annual billing cuts 12% off the standard rate. It also converts a cancel-anytime subscription into a non-refundable 12-month commitment.

On a 10-door Professional plan at $179 a month, 12% is $258 a year. That is real money and a small hedge against price changes. It is also where Hospitable’s own documentation contradicts itself: the plan comparison table lists "No Contract or Commitments" against all four plans, while the annual billing section states plainly that annual is a 12-month commitment, cannot be cancelled for a refund mid-term, and cannot be downgraded until the term ends.

Take annual if your door count is stable or rising. Skip it if you are mid-acquisition, mid-exit, or testing whether Hospitable beats your current stack, because a downgrade you decide on in month three does not take effect until month twelve. Hospitable does issue credit notes for unused properties on annual plans at the discounted per-property rate, but unused credits are not refunded as cash if you walk away at renewal.

The trial removes most of that risk before you commit. Hospitable’s pricing page advertises 14 days free with access to all features, no credit card required, and a 30-minute orientation call at no cost. Fourteen days covers one full turnover cycle on two doors, which is enough to find out whether the message automation holds up on a late check-in.

Hospitable pricing FAQ

How much does Hospitable cost per month?

Hospitable costs $0 on Essentials, $29 on Host, $59 on Professional, and $99 on Mogul before per-property add-ons. Host includes 1 property, Professional 2, and Mogul 3, and additional active properties bill at $10, $15, and $30 a month respectively.

Does Hospitable have a free plan?

Yes. Essentials is $0 with unlimited properties and no per-property fee. It excludes smart device integration, direct booking sites, AI Auto Replies, and API access, and limits AI writing assistance to 10 combined uses per week, so it works for a self-managed one or two door operator and breaks the moment you need automated door codes.

What counts as an active property on Hospitable?

A property is active, and billable, if it had at least one check-in during the billing cycle or had Dynamic Pricing enabled at any point in that cycle. Muted properties are not billed as active, but a muted property with Dynamic Pricing still enabled carries a $10 add-on fee.

How much does Hospitable’s annual plan save?

Annual billing saves 12% off the standard rate, which is $258 a year on a 10-door Professional plan at $179 a month. It is available on Host, Professional, and Mogul, requires a full 12-month non-refundable commitment, and cannot be downgraded mid-term.

Is Mogul worth it over Professional?

Mogul pays above roughly six owner-clients, or when you run more than two smart devices per door. At 14 properties Mogul costs $429 a month against Professional’s $239, and that $2,280 a year has to be recovered from owner statements, owner portals, and accounting integrations you would otherwise assemble by hand.

Does Hospitable take a commission on bookings?

Hospitable takes 0% commission on Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com, and Agoda bookings. It does charge on direct bookings at 1% on Basic or 4% plus 3% processing on Premium, 7% on custom upsells for paid plans, 2% on security deposits, and 1.5% capped at $5 per clean on Pay Your Own Team.

If you are pricing the tier above Hospitable, our Guesty pricing breakdown for 2026 runs the same math at 2, 10, and 50 doors.

Price the door, not just the subscription

A $179 Hospitable invoice is easy to budget. What it will not tell you is whether door seven cleared enough after cleaning, utilities, and debt service to justify buying the tenth. Connect Hospitable and your bank accounts to MagicBNB and the subscription becomes one categorized expense line inside a per-property P&L, sitting beside the net payout figure it helped produce.
