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?)

I know there is a lot of debate on the forums about Appfolio vs Buildium, but my background is in data & analytics and I always felt Buildium was a superior product (at least for what I need/want it to do as far as my management is concerned).
