Hostaway vs.
OwnerRez

While it might be enough for complacent hosts with under 5 listings, OwnerRez's slightly more affordable entry price comes at the expense of fewer features, frustrating reliability, and insufficient onboarding and support.

Hostaway is the clear choice for professional property managers serious about their business and future growth.

Save money and grow your business with Hostaway 

Time is money, and automating every aspect of your business helps you grow, without increasing headcount.

Hostaway doesn’t cut corners on its all-in-one software, with several time-saving features a starter solution like OwnerRez doesn’t have, including:

• Mobile App for management on-the-go

• Unified Inbox for a consolidate place to view and respond to guest messages across all channels

• Modern UI that’s powerful to use, but easy to learn
  

Onboarding & Support

Hostaway's award-winning support has a 95% customer satisfaction rating. Our team is distributed across 8+ countries and timezones so that we're able to help you quickly - anytime, anywhere.
Hostaway also has tailored onboarding with a dedicated rep for every new customer, with a 94% customer satisfaction rate. Eager to start right away? New users can connect and import their Airbnb listings in under 5 minutes.

OwnerRez has self-serve, webinar-based onboarding, with the option of paying for additional one-on-one training, starting at $500 for only 2 properties. Many users complain that the standard onboarding process is simply not adequate enough to learn the complexities of the product.

If you’re going to invest time to learn a new software, be sure that it’s set-up correctly the first time, and with a product designed to scale with you, whether you have 2 or 2,000 rental units.

Hostaway has the most travel channel connections in the industry, at the highest possible partnership status. This means the more exposure for your listings, with the highest guarantee of reliability, along with first access to the latest features from the OTAs.

OwnerRez has no partnership status with Booking.com. As less trusted partners, OwnerRez users risk double-bookings and fewer features (e.g. direct messaging). OwnerRez users also miss out on connections to Google, Expedia, and Marriott, leaving more bookings and revenue on the table.

Hostaway offers all-inclusive, per unit pricing with month-to-month contracts. This means all the features and integrations you're looking for to automate and optimize your operations are included, and will scale with you as you grow.

OwnerRez starts at a lower price, but nickel and dimes its users for additional key features like:

• Any integrations, including any existing direct booking sites 

• Owner Statements

• Expenses & Financial Reporting

• SMS Messaging
  

We're integrated with the biggest and boldest tools in the Vacation Rental industry. With Zapier, you have access to 3,000+ additional connections. Our industry-leading open API allows you to build your own connection.

Hostaway also makes continuous improvements to our software, with 15+ released, bug fixes, and updates made each month. We're the first to market in releasing new, unmatched features, like:

• Google Travel integration

• ChatGPT powered guest messaging and listing descriptions

• Vrbo direct messaging
  

OwnerRez has some of the same features that will help you save time, but property managers serious about scaling will find it comes up short, and outgrow it quickly
