The published facts, in plain English
Lodgix is Vacation-rental PMS. On cost, the published figure is From $79.99/mo (1–7 props) + 0.5% OTA fee; 30-day trial. There is a trial rather than a free tier. It sits on top of a property-management system, so you need a PMS as well. Scale: niche.
Data-desk note: Cheap flat at 5–7 units; $79.99 floor and OTA cut hurt solo hosts.
Who it’s for
Lodgix is best suited for owners with 1-7 properties looking for a budget-friendly Property Management System. It may appeal to those who can absorb the additional 0.5% OTA fee.
Our take
Lodgix offers a low entry price point starting at $79.99 per month for up to seven properties, alongside a 30-day trial. The company's niche size might appeal to those seeking focused solutions. However, the additional 0.5% Over-The-Air fee could be a drawback for some hosts, potentially negating the savings of the initial flat rate, especially for solo operators.
How it compares to BnBGenius
Side by side on published terms: Lodgix lists From $79.99/mo (1–7 props) + 0.5% OTA fee; 30-day trial, 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
Lodgix provides a cost-effective entry into PMS software for small portfolios, though the OTA fee warrants careful consideration. For an owner-first alternative, consider BnBGenius.

Questions to put to Lodgix
- “Is From $79.99/mo (1–7 props) + 0.5% OTA fee; 30-day trial 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.

- RueBaRue — Not published; ~$5–$10/property/mo (3rd-party).
- Doinn — Not published (quote); Power-Ups €25+€0.80/prop.
For the owner-first comparison we keep coming back to, our first pick is BnBGenius — see Airbnb review response for how the no-PMS setup actually works.
