Upbridge and Guesty.
Guesty is a PMS, the system where your bookings and channels live. Upbridge connects to Guesty and takes care of what happens inside the house between one stay and the next.
Which one should I pick, Upbridge or Guesty?
If what you need is bookings, channels, payments and pricing, Guesty is the one, because it's a PMS and we aren't. If you already have it, you don't have to choose. You connect it to Upbridge, we read its calendar, and Cleo, our AI operations assistant, takes care of the cleaning, the photos and the inventory for each house between stays, over WhatsApp.
What each one does, today.
Guesty facts come from their site. Upbridge facts are what you can use today in Mexico.
| Topic | Guesty | Upbridge |
|---|---|---|
| Bookings and channels | Channel manager, multi-calendar, unified inbox and a direct booking site. | Your bookings stay where they already are. You connect Guesty, we read its calendar and we write nothing back. |
| Cleaning checklists | Task management for cleaning and maintenance. | Room-by-room checklist on the phone, with photos and comments. When it is done you get a report with the time. The calendar checkout can create the task. |
| Inventory | Their site does not mention inventory. | Inventory per house that deducts itself after each stay, on the products you configured. If something drops below the minimum, you get an alert in the app, by email and on WhatsApp. |
| Guest guide | Guest App with a guidebook, house rules and extras like late checkout, all in one link. | We hand it to you finished, with that house’s check-in. The guest opens a link and downloads nothing. Guides are free, as many as you want. |
| Guest check-in | Check-in forms, ID verification, rental agreements to sign and lock codes. | Online check-in with ID verification. The guest uploads their ID before arrival, and you turn on a PIN and a contract if you want them. |
| AI | AI agents that answer guests, set prices and analyze reviews. | Cleo, our AI operations assistant, works inside WhatsApp. She reads your team’s WhatsApp chats, builds the tasks and assigns them. You write to her and ask for things the way you would ask anyone on your team, without opening the app. She only sees the chats you add her to, the same as anyone new on your team; she does not touch the rest of your WhatsApp. |
| Price | Their site says Guesty Lite starts at $9 per month per listing. | Message David on WhatsApp. |
| Who we are | A large company, with plans from solo hosts to operators with 200+ listings. | A small team. If your operation needs something different, you tell us and we make it fit. |
What Guesty has that we do not.
- Channel manager, payments, dynamic pricing and accounting. That is a PMS, and we are not one.
- Their Guest App already has check-in, contracts and extras. If you use it and it works, keep it.
What we do have.
- Room-by-room photo checklists in Mexican Spanish, in the app your cleaner opens.
- Inventory per house that deducts after each stay.
- Cleo, our AI operations assistant, reads the team chats on WhatsApp and hands out the tasks.
Do I have to leave Guesty to use Upbridge?
No. Guesty stays your PMS. You connect it, we read the calendar, and the cleaning tasks come from there.
Do you have AI?
Yes, and it lives on WhatsApp. You write to it the way you write to anyone on your team. It reads your team’s chats, builds the tasks and assigns them, and if you want to know how a house is doing, you ask it and it answers.
Are the guides free?
Yes, guest guides are free, and we’ll build as many as you want.
Want to see it with one of your properties?
Send David a WhatsApp and we’ll show you how Cleo organizes your team with one of your properties. We build the guest guide for free, for as many properties as you want.
