BnB Pulse vs Lodgify
Flat Pricing, Not Per-Property Fees
Lodgify prices per property, so your bill climbs every time you add a listing. BnB Pulse uses three flat tiers, so growing your portfolio doesn't mean renegotiating your software budget.
The Short Version
Lodgify is a strong pick if your top priority is a built-in website builder and a live channel manager today — those are genuinely two of its strengths. BnB Pulse is the better fit if you already have your listings live on Airbnb, Vrbo, or Booking.com and want a simpler dashboard for bookings, guest messages, expenses, and staff access — priced flat, not per property.
What Happens to Your Bill as You Add Properties
Lodgify's plans are priced per property. BnB Pulse's three tiers are flat, covering a property range instead of charging per listing. The gap widens fast once you're past a handful of properties.
Number of properties managed
Illustrative estimate. BnB Pulse costs reflect its published flat tiers ($29 / $79 / $179 per month). Lodgify's line uses its confirmed Professional-tier monthly rate of $53 per property — actual totals may differ if Lodgify offers unpublished volume pricing at scale. Past roughly 38 properties, Lodgify's estimated cost exceeds this chart's $2,000 ceiling. See the pricing table below for tier-by-tier detail.

What Hosts Gain Moving to BnB Pulse
Your bill doesn't grow every time you add a listing
Add your 4th, 8th, or 15th property on BnB Pulse and you stay on the same flat tier until you cross the next property threshold. On per-property pricing, every new listing is a new line item.
Expense tracking is already built in
No separate spreadsheet or accounting add-on. Log cleaning fees, repairs, and supply costs per property right inside the dashboard you're already using to manage bookings.
Staff access without a top-tier upgrade
Give your manager or front desk staff their own login with Manager or Front Desk permissions starting on the Growth plan — you don't need to jump all the way to a top-tier plan just to stop sharing your password.
Nothing to configure — live in under an hour
No onboarding call required. If your listings are already live elsewhere, BnB Pulse is built to get you managing bookings the same day you sign up.
Take direct bookings without building a website
Share one reusable link per property directly with guests — by text, email, or DM. They pick their dates and pay online, no website required on either side.
When Lodgify Is the Better Choice — Right Now
If you need any of these today, Lodgify is currently the stronger fit:
A live channel manager. Lodgify's Airbnb, Vrbo, and Booking.com sync is live now. BnB Pulse's is in development and not yet available — we won't claim otherwise.
A no-code booking website today. Lodgify's drag-and-drop website builder is one of its strongest features and is ready to use now. BnB Pulse's direct booking website builder is coming soon — though you can already send guests a shareable self-service booking link per property without needing a website at all.
You manage just one or two properties and don't expect to grow past that. At that scale, Lodgify's entry-tier per-property pricing can land close to or below BnB Pulse's Starter tier.
BnB Pulse is built for hosts and small property managers who've already got their listings live and want a simpler, flatter-priced dashboard to run the day-to-day — not a website-building suite.
