Guesty Pricing in 2026: Plans, Real Costs and Who It Suits

What Guesty costs in 2026, from Lite at $9 per listing to quote-only Pro and Enterprise, plus add-ons, questions to ask and alternatives.

Updated November 2026. Written by the STR Market team. Plans checked on Guesty's pricing page on November 3, 2026. Quote-only prices are reported by third parties and are not official Guesty figures. Disclosure: Hospitable, mentioned as an alternative below, is an STR Market partner. STR Market rankings are never paid.

Guesty is one of the best-known names in vacation rental software, and one of the hardest to price from the outside. Only the entry plan has a public starting price. Everything from four listings up requires a quote.

Here is what Guesty publishes, what others report paying, the add-ons to ask about and when another platform might be the better fit.

Quick answer: how much does Guesty cost?

  • Guesty Lite (1 to 3 listings): from $9 per listing per month, with a 14-day free trial.
  • Guesty Pro (4 to 199 listings): by quote. One third-party comparison reports about $40 to $72 per listing per month, not confirmed by Guesty.
  • Guesty Enterprise (200+ listings): custom offer.
  • Add-ons: pricing, damage protection, smart locks and more are priced separately or bundled in Guesty Ultimate by quote.
  • Onboarding: ask for this in writing. Third parties report one-time costs on Pro and Enterprise, which Guesty's page does not list.

The add-ons that change the real price

The starting price is only one part of what you will pay. Guesty lists these add-ons on its pricing page without public prices:

Damage ProtectionAll plans

Advanced WebsitesPro and Enterprise

Guesty also sells a Guesty Ultimate bundle by quote and says it saves 40% on premium features. On fees, Guesty says it charges no percentage-based fees on reservations or cancellations made through its direct booking engine, and that standard payment processor fees apply. Third-party articles describe things differently in places, so get your exact fees written into your quote.

10 questions to ask before you sign

  1. What is my total monthly cost at my current listing count?
  2. What is the one-time onboarding or migration cost?
  3. How long is the contract, and what happens at renewal?
  4. Does the per-listing price drop as I add listings?
  5. Which features I saw in the demo are add-ons?
  6. What does dynamic pricing cost, and is it a percentage of revenue?
  7. Which payment processors can I use, and at what rates?
  8. What support do I get on my plan, and in which hours?
  9. Can I export my reservations, guests and financial data if I leave?
  10. Do you integrate with the smart locks and cleaning tools I already use?

Whatever the answer, put the numbers in a simple sheet and divide by your property count. Our guide to what vacation rental software costs shows you how, and our free software cost check can give you a quick comparison.

Who is Guesty a good fit for?

New hosts

With one to three listings, Guesty Lite has a low starting price and a free trial, so it is simple to test. Compare it with simpler tools, though, because you may not need much of what makes Guesty attractive at scale.

Growing managers

The Pro plan is built for 4 to 199 listings and adds an owners portal and more channels. If you manage for owners, that is where Guesty is most relevant, and where quotes matter most.

Large operators

Enterprise is built for 200 or more listings with tailored onboarding and reporting. Teams this size should run a full procurement process with multiple vendors.

What about automated payments?

Guesty Pay, its payments product, is listed for Pro and Enterprise. If automated guest payments are the deciding factor, confirm how they work with your processor and country before signing.

What happened to Guesty For Hosts?

You may still see references to Guesty For Hosts, a product for smaller hosts. Competitor Zeevou reported that it was shutting down on May 31, 2026, with Guesty pointing users to Lite or Pro. If you are coming from that product, confirm what data you still have access to and start fresh with current plan names. Note that this comes from a competitor's website rather than a Guesty announcement.

Frequently asked questions

Does Guesty have a free trial?

Yes, Guesty lists a 14-day free trial on its Lite plan.

Is Guesty good for direct bookings?

Guesty says direct bookings are included in every plan, with no percentage fee on its direct booking engine beyond standard payment processing. Advanced Websites is listed for Pro and Enterprise.

Is Guesty worth it for one property?

It can be, but check it against simpler options first. With one property you are likely to get most of what you need from a lower-cost tool.

Why doesn't Guesty show Pro pricing?

Guesty prices Pro by quote. Platforms aimed at larger managers usually price each deal based on portfolio size, features and contract length.
