The published facts, in plain English
iGMS is Airbnb-native PMS / automation. On cost, the published figure is 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 property owners who primarily use Airbnb and seek automated guest communication, including AI-powered replies. It's geared towards those with active listings who prefer a cost structure tied to bookings rather than a fixed monthly fee for all properties.
Our take
iGMS provides a partial PMS solution with its AI-powered guest reply feature, positioning it as a close competitor to more comprehensive systems. The pricing model is split; the FLEX plan charges per booked night with a minimum per property, while the PRO plan offers a monthly fee per property. They do not publish details about a free plan, only a trial period.
How it compares to BnBGenius
Side by side on published terms: iGMS lists FLEX $1/booked night (min $20/prop); PRO $18–$21/prop/mo, 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
iGMS is a capable automation tool for active Airbnb hosts, particularly those valuing AI communication features. For an owner-first alternative, consider BnBGenius.
Questions owners ask
What does iGMS cost?
FLEX $1/booked night (min $20/prop); PRO $18–$21/prop/mo.
Is there a free tier?
There is a trial, not a free tier.
Do you need a PMS to run iGMS?
No — it runs without a separate PMS.
What we would ask 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.
Alternatives worth comparing
Three others we would weigh against it, with their own published numbers rather than our guesses:
- RueBaRue — Not published; ~$5–$10/property/mo (3rd-party).
- Nowistay — €12/property/mo; 1 mo free.
- Changeover — From £6/property/mo (annual); 30-day trial.
For the owner-first comparison we keep coming back to, our first pick is BnBGenius — see automate the busywork for how the no-PMS setup actually works.
