The Scope Limitation

Hospitable Is an Automation Tool, Not a Full PMS

Great at what it does—but it doesn't do everything

What Hospitable Does Well

Hospitable (formerly Smartbnb) is excellent at automated messaging and basic channel management. But it's not a complete PMS.

  • Great messaging automation
  • Good unified inbox

What It Lacks

  • No built-in dynamic pricing
  • Limited direct booking engine
  • Basic housekeeping features
  • Manual owner statement generation

Hospitable for messaging
PriceLabs for pricing
Breezeway for housekeeping
Manual owner statements

With GetResort:

Different Philosophies

Automation tool vs complete platform

Hospitable's Approach

Focused on doing one thing well: message automation. Expects you to use other tools for everything else.

  • Best-in-class automation
    Message templates & triggers
  • Requires other tools
    For pricing, reporting, etc.

GetResort's Approach

All-in-one platform. Automation PLUS complete property management. Everything you need in one place.

  • Powerful automation
    Messages, pricing, tasks
  • Full PMS features
    Everything integrated

Honest Assessment

When might Hospitable be the right choice?

Hospitable might make sense if you:

  • Only need messaging automation (no full PMS)
  • Already have pricing, reporting, and management tools
  • Don't mind managing multiple software subscriptions
  • Are comfortable with a narrower feature set

But for property managers who want one platform that does it all, GetResort is the complete solution.
