What Lodgix is
Lodgix brings vacation rental channel management, guest messaging, automation, direct bookings, and payments together in one platform. It connects directly to Airbnb, Vrbo, and Booking.com, and also lists Expedia, Google Vacation Rentals, and Marriott Homes & Villas as channels. Its AI can draft guest replies, assess listing quality, and build automations; sending automated guest messages is turned off by default.
The platform lists more than 20 integrations, including Stripe, QuickBooks, Twilio, Mailchimp, Zapier, and its MCP Server. Lodgix offers a REST API for retrieving and updating account information, plus a WordPress plugin that syncs rental listings and lets visitors view details, check availability, and book online. Every plan includes the Lodgix Admin and Staylio guest apps, available through Apple and Google app stores, as well as free onboarding and training. Each plan also includes a free 30-day trial without a credit card. The 1-7 Properties plan costs $79.99 a month, billed month-to-month. Bookings through a user's own website carry no fee; Lodgix states a 1/2% fee for Airbnb and Vrbo bookings. Optional add-ons provide owner management and QuickBooks syncing.
