The published facts, in plain English
Lodgix is Vacation-rental PMS. It lists its pricing as 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 a small portfolio of 1–7 properties looking for a cost-effective solution. While the base price is attractive for this range, the additional 0.5% OTA fee might be a consideration for those operating on tighter margins.
Our take
Lodgix presents a budget-friendly option, particularly for owners managing several units, with a base price starting at $79.99 per month. The inclusion of a 30-day trial allows for hands-on testing. However, the 0.5% OTA fee, while not unique, adds a variable cost that could affect profitability for individual hosts or those with high booking volumes from external platforms.
How it compares to BnBGenius
On the published figures alone, Lodgix shows From $79.99/mo (1–7 props) + 0.5% OTA fee; 30-day trial 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
Lodgix offers a functional PMS at a competitive price point for small portfolios. For owners prioritising a completely free, owner-first approach, BnBGenius is a notable alternative.

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.
