Theresa Holl Guesty finally did it
2 February 2026 | 10 replies
Here's the breakdown of my basic observations after ~2 weeks on each solution: Guesty Lite: - $39/listing/month (unclear if this includes standard 1% commission)- Superior iOS app (faster, locally cached, better organized)- Cleaner guest portal- Targeted to smaller portfolios (1-3) vs Pro (4+) - Clean HUD/dashboard for checkins/reservations- Excellent message automation that links automations in a templated flowchart design (best I've seen)- Awful analytics, similar to GfH (upsell to Guesty Pro)- Dynamic pricing, damage protection, lock management, liability, and outsourced communications (unique) all relatively expensive (aligning to Guesty's overall penchant for chasing ever-expanding upsells)Hospitable:- More third party integrations- Comprehensive analytics- Customizable dashboards are nice - Useful in-app/site help tours- iOS app is effectively a responsible website (slow, uncached, voids iOS design rules)- Messaging rule management can feel cluttered (dozen-plus rules to start?)

Aaron Abeyta Guidance – evaluating a commercial property + restaurant deal (seller carry)
11 February 2026 | 11 replies
The reason we still feel bullish (not reckless) is that there are several obvious levers the prior operation didn’t really pull: delivery/pickup was not executed well; we’re partnering with owner.com to rebuild the website/app funnel and online presentation (not a plug — just something we believe will move the needle),delivery radius will be supported via Uber drivers (~15 miles),alcohol sales were only 1–3% previously because the old location didn’t have an actual bar and there was basically no signal that they served alcohol (no mixed drinks, no “bar energy”),the new space has a fully remodeled (2007) kitchen/dining, plus a legit outdoor eating area, and we’re reopening there in April.
