Staying vs Lodgify
Staying is not a PMS or channel manager. It works alongside Lodgify and adds online check-in, a digital guidebook, in-stay ordering and direct rebooking invitations, with published prices from €0.
Keep Lodgify, add Staying for the guest experience
Free for one property. €49/month up to 10 properties (25 units), €149 up to 50 (100 units), €399 unlimited. 0% commission.
- Branded guest portal: online check-in for every guest, digital guidebook and in-stay ordering

Switching from Lodgify
Or keep Lodgify and run Staying next to it: the steps are the same.
Start on the Free plan
Create your account and first property yourself. No sales call or card needed.
Connect your calendars
Paste the iCal links of your Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com listings, or an iCal export from Lodgify if your account offers one. Bookings then import automatically.
Build the guest portal
Add branding, start the guidebook from a template and list the services you want to sell.
Share one link
Send the portal link or QR code with your booking confirmations. Upgrade when you need more properties.
When is Lodgify on its own the better choice?
Lodgify without Staying is the better fit if you:
When Lodgify is the right call
- Need a channel manager that pushes rates and availability to Airbnb, Booking.com and Vrbo. Staying only syncs calendars by iCal.
- Prefer one subscription over a PMS plus a guest-experience layer
Add Staying alongside your PMS when you want every guest to check in online, a guidebook with QR code, in-stay ordering with 0% Staying commission on the Growth plan and direct rebooking invitations.
