Hostaway has the most booking channel connections in the industry, and at the highest partnership status. This means the more exposure for your listings, with the highest level of reliability, along with first access to the latest features.

LiveRez has no partnership status with Vrbo. As less trusted partners, LiveRez users risk double-bookings and fewer features. LiveRez users also miss visibility across Hopper, and Marriott, leaving more bookings and revenue on the table.
