Hostaway vs.

SuperControl

Although SuperControl primarily served clients based in UK, current clients faced a number of challenges including the lack of customer support and the difficulty of navigating around the platform.

In contrast, Hostaway addresses these issues by providing an easy-to-use, modern platform with reliable channel connections, quick onboarding and most importantly, 24/7 support from anywhere.
