Upbridge and Hostify.
Hostify is a PMS with a channel manager, the place your bookings land. Upbridge takes care of the house from the inside, with your cleaner and the inventory.
Which one should I pick, Upbridge or Hostify?
Hostify fits if you want bookings from many channels, a direct booking page and a panel for your owners. At Upbridge, your cleaner works from photo checklists, each house's inventory goes down after every stay, and Cleo, our AI operations assistant, hands out the tasks on WhatsApp. Since we read Hostify's calendar by iCal, you can keep both.
What each one does, today.
Hostify facts come from their site. Upbridge facts are what you can use today in Mexico.
| Topic | Hostify | Upbridge |
|---|---|---|
| Bookings and channels | A channel manager that, per their site, connects to 400+ channels, with multi-calendar and a unified inbox. | Your bookings stay where they already are. You import your houses’ iCal and that builds the calendar here. |
| Cleaning checklists | Task management. Their site does not detail cleaning checklists. | 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 | Their site does not mention a guide. | 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 | A separate smart locks add-on. | 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 | Automates messages, reviews, pricing and payments. | 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 | Per active rental per month, from $20 at 5 to 19 rentals and lower with volume, per their page. | Message David on WhatsApp. |
| Who we are | For owners and managers, including those with many properties. | A small team. If your operation needs something different, you tell us and we make it fit. |

Can I use Hostify and Upbridge together?
Yes, through iCal. Hostify keeps your channels and bookings, and we read the calendar to set up the cleaning.
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.
