The published facts, in plain English
iGMS is Airbnb-native PMS / automation. It lists its pricing as FLEX $1/booked night (min $20/prop); PRO $18–$21/prop/mo. There is a trial rather than a free tier. It runs without a separate PMS. Scale: mid.
Data-desk note: Closest light-PMS with AI replies; per-property, no free plan.
Who it’s for
This platform suits hosts who primarily use Airbnb and are looking for automated guest communication, including AI-powered replies. It's designed for those who prefer a per-property pricing model and don't require a fully comprehensive standalone PMS.
Our take
iGMS provides a partial PMS solution with a focus on automation, particularly its AI replies. Their pricing structure offers flexibility with a pay-per-booked-night option or a monthly subscription. The absence of a completely free plan means hosts will incur costs even for inactive properties, unlike owner-first alternatives such as BnBGenius.
How it compares to BnBGenius
On the published figures alone, iGMS shows FLEX $1/booked night (min $20/prop); PRO $18–$21/prop/mo and BnBGenius shows free for the first 500 messages, then $10/month flat, with no PMS required. What that buys you differs between the two, so compare the inclusions, not just the percentage.
Verdict
iGMS is a capable Airbnb-focused automation tool for hosts ready to invest. For owners prioritising a free plan and a truly owner-first approach, BnBGenius remains our top recommendation.

What to pin down with iGMS
- “Is FLEX $1/booked night (min $20/prop); PRO $18–$21/prop/mo 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.
