Accommador vs Lodgify: Priced per Property, and Not in Australian Dollars
On Lodgify’s pricing page on 28 October 2026, its Professional plan for 30 properties was US$484 a month on monthly billing (about A$694), or US$387 a month billed yearly (about A$555), and US$1,013 a month (about A$1,453) for 80, with A$ figures at AUD/USD 0.6973. Whether each room counts as a property depends on how your rooms are set up. Ours is $500/mo, or $5,000/yr, in Australian dollars.

We make Accommador, so we are not a neutral judge. Lodgify pricing read from the number-of-properties selector on their pricing page on 28 October 2026, converted from US dollars at AUD/USD 0.6973 (the 24 July 2026 rate used across these pages). Confirm current pricing and capabilities on lodgify.com before relying on them.
The core difference
What each platform is actually for
Lodgify is built for holiday-rental hosts: a website with a booking engine, calendars synced with Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com, and, on its top plan, tasks and owner statements.
Accommador answers a bigger one: how do you run this as a business that fills its own rooms? Rates, stay rules and housekeeping underneath; 100+ booking sites in sync; emails and texts that bring past guests back; card payments that hold the security bond; and a booking page that offers the guest another night instead of turning them away.
A website gets you listed. This gets you booked, rebooked and reconciled.
Why operators pick us
The case against Lodgify, in plain terms
Here’s where Lodgify stops being enough for a whole property:
No front desk, because it isn’t built for one.
We couldn’t find walk-in handling, folios, night audit, room moves or group bookings in Lodgify’s published material as of 28 October 2026. If a guest can turn up at your door, you need the other half of the software.
The price rises with every property. Ours doesn’t.
On their pricing page on 28 October 2026, each extra property on Professional added roughly A$15 to A$18 a month: about A$694 a month at 30 properties and A$1,453 at 80 on monthly billing, if each room counts as a property. Ours is $500 flat for the software, whatever you run.
You can’t pay them in Australian dollars.
Their pricing page bills in US dollars, euros or pounds only. You carry the exchange rate and a foreign-transaction card fee on a bill that moves every month.
Most of the growth side isn’t in the box.
We couldn’t find email campaigns to past guests, a segmentable guest database, review management, SMS or WhatsApp marketing, or a native Xero or MYOB connection in Lodgify’s published material (October 2026); their help centre points to Zapier for Xero invoices. Their answer is a list of third-party integrations, each from another vendor.
Online payments carry a 1% Lodgify fee.
Lodgify’s pricing FAQ says a 1% transaction fee applies to payments guests make online through a gateway such as Stripe or PayPal, on top of the gateway’s own fee. We take no cut of a direct booking; the usual card-processing fees apply.
The one test to run before any demo
Search dates that break your minimum-stay rule
A booking page without a nearest-dates feature answers "no availability", and the guest may leave. Accommador shows the three nearest open nights with prices, so the near miss can become a booking.

How we scored this: the eight capabilities are ours, so we hold every row by construction. The right-hand column is marked from what we could find in Lodgify's published material, with the fine print in each cell, checked between July and October 2026; cells rechecked in October 2026 say so.

What you’d actually pay
Both bills, side by side
≈$1,254/mo
our estimate: their licence plus the tools to match usOn 28 October 2026 Lodgify priced its plans by the number of properties, in US dollars, euros or pounds.
The full pricing picture
Its two cheapest plans cap at one and two properties, so a larger property is on Professional or Ultimate. Professional was about A$331 a month at 10 properties, A$694 at 30 and A$1,453 at 80 on monthly billing, or about A$555 at 30 billed yearly. Lodgify also charges 1% on guest payments taken online through a gateway, and no setup fee.
$500/mo
or $5,000/yr · one plan · published$500/mo, or $5,000/yr paid yearly, which is about two months free.
What that includes
Every room included, whatever you run. The $500 buys the platform. What you send is billed per item at published rates, and the usual card-processing fees apply. We take no cut of a direct booking, so every booking that comes direct skips the 15–20% the booking sites charge.

All in≈$1,254/moat 30 properties on monthly billing, compared with our published $500/mo flat
30 rooms read as 30 properties on Lodgify’s Professional plan, monthly billing, read on 2026-10-28 and converted at AUD/USD 0.6973. $694 is Lodgify’s own published figure at that rate; every line above is our market rate for buying that capability elsewhere, not a Lodgify charge. Lodgify’s 1% fee on online payments isn’t included. $694 + $560 = $1,254. Billed yearly, Lodgify’s plan was about A$555 a month, which puts the total at about $1,115; compare that with our $5,000 a year.
Their own variable fees
What Lodgify’s own fee lines add up to
Lodgify’s own fee lines, not a matching bundle. The rates come from the sources shown; the dollar figures are our estimates on a 30-room property. See how we worked them out.
A$950.81/mo
Ultimate at 30 properties on monthly billing, US$663/mo on Lodgify’s pricing page on 28 October 2026, converted at AUD/USD 0.6973 (24 Jul 2026). Ultimate is the plan needed for feature parity with Accommador (task management, check-in automation, owner statements are Ultimate-only), so it is a higher plan than the Professional plan used in the real bill above. Whether a 30-room property counts as 30 properties is UNVERIFIED; Lodgify’s own documentation doesn’t specify, so 30 is modelled here.

Lodgify’s pricing FAQ says a 1% transaction fee applies to payments guests make online through a payment gateway such as Stripe or PayPal, and that the gateway charges its own processing fee separately (excluded here, as for every vendor). There is no booking fee and no setup fee. Modelled from none of your guests paying online through Lodgify up to every online booking.

Lodgify doesn’t bill in AUD: their pricing page’s currency selector offers US dollars, euros and pounds only, and their FAQ says the amount due follows the exchange rate at payment time. An AU card issuer typically adds a ~3% international transaction surcharge on a foreign-currency recurring charge. That is a structural cost of how Lodgify bills, not a Lodgify-imposed fee.

HIGH on the 1% rate and on the plan price (both on their own pricing page, 28 October 2026). MEDIUM on the dollar figures, which depend on how many guests pay online through Lodgify and on reading 30 rooms as 30 properties.

FAQ
Questions operators ask
Is Lodgify cheaper than Accommador?
Under about 20 properties on monthly billing, yes, and we’ll say so plainly. Above that, Lodgify’s Professional plan passes our $500/mo: on its pricing page on 28 October 2026 it was US$484 a month (about A$694) for 30 properties and US$1,013 (about A$1,453) for 80, if each room counts as a property. Billed yearly, it stays under A$500 a month to about 26 properties, and under our yearly plan (about $417 a month) to about 20.
Does Lodgify still charge a booking fee?
There’s no booking fee on any plan, but Lodgify charges 1% on guest payments taken online through a gateway such as Stripe or PayPal, on top of the gateway’s own fee. We take no cut of a direct booking; the usual card-processing fees apply.
Can Lodgify handle front-desk work like walk-ins, room moves and group bookings?
Not that we could find (October 2026). Those features aren’t in their published material. It’s built for holiday-rental hosts, not for a property someone can walk into.
Does Lodgify bill in Australian dollars?
No. Their pricing page offers US dollars, euros or pounds only, so you carry the exchange rate on a bill that moves every month.
What does Lodgify not include that Accommador does?
Email campaigns to past guests, a segmentable guest database, review management, SMS or WhatsApp campaigns, server-side ad tracking, and books that code themselves in Xero. We couldn’t find any of it as a native Lodgify feature (October 2026); their answer is third-party integrations, and for Xero their help centre points to Zapier.
Figures on this page are prices a vendor publishes, figures from third parties, and our own estimates. We cite and date the first two, and label the third as estimates and work it through on the methodology page. None of them is a quote or what any particular property will pay.
Our estimates assume a 30-room Australian property at 65% occupancy, A$180 average daily rate, a 2.0-night average stay and a 65% online booking share, with United States dollar figures converted at the market spot rate of AUD/USD 0.6973 as at 24 July 2026, and stated ex-GST. See the full working, every vendor's longhand sum and what remains unverified at the methodology page. A different property's numbers will differ.
Vendor figures come from the vendor's own pages, its pricing data or its published documents, such as RMS Cloud's North American price guide; third-party and competitor-published figures are marked as such. Most figures carry the date they were last checked, next to their source. Most were first checked between May and July 2026, some were rechecked on7 October 2026, and many, including every cell in our shortlist guides' comparison table, were rechecked on 28 October 2026. Where a figure still rests on an older source, such as a vendor's July 2026 pricing data, it says so. Pricing changes without notice. Always verify current pricing directly with the vendor before making a decision.
Accommador has no affiliation with, endorsement by, or partnership with any vendor named on this page. All product names, company names and trade marks referenced are the property of their respective owners.
