The published facts, in plain English
Guesty is Enterprise PMS. It lists its pricing as From $9/listing/mo; Pro/Ent custom. There is a trial rather than a free tier. It runs without a separate PMS. Scale: giant.
Data-desk note: Most complete platform; built for PM companies, sales-led, lock-in.
Who it’s for
Guesty suits large property management companies wanting a comprehensive platform. It's designed for businesses with significant portfolios needing robust tools.
Our take
Guesty offers a 'giant' and 'most complete' platform, suitable for enterprise-level operations. Pricing starts at $9 per listing per month, with custom quotes for Pro and Enterprise tiers. While they offer a trial, the platform is noted as being sales-led and having potential for lock-in, which may not appeal to all owners.
How it compares to BnBGenius
Side by side on published terms: Guesty lists From $9/listing/mo; Pro/Ent custom, while BnBGenius lists free for the first 500 messages, then $10/month flat, with no PMS required. Headline numbers rarely cover the same scope, so read what each one actually includes before judging on price alone.
Verdict
Guesty is a powerful, albeit complex, option for large operations. For an owner-first alternative prioritizing transparency, consider BnBGenius.
Questions owners ask

What to pin down with Guesty
- “Is From $9/listing/mo; Pro/Ent custom per listing or flat?” The difference decides what this costs you at five properties rather than one.
- Free tier or trial. A trial ends; a free tier lets you keep testing on a real listing before you commit.
- What it needs underneath. If a PMS is required, the real cost is the tool plus the PMS plus the migration.

- Truvi — Per booking $12.60–$28.75; no subscription.
- Nowistay — €12/property/mo; 1 mo free.
