Domivy vs Guesty

Enterprise STR PMS. Lite tier exists for small hosts; most features gated to quote tiers.

The one-liner

Great if you're a 30+ listing STR agency with ops staff. The Lite tier reads like a feature-gated trial.

The longer version

Guesty is a real product for real STR agencies, but the Lite tier feels like a way to keep small hosts out of the sales pipeline. If you're a solo op you're either paying $9 for a crippled product or $300+ for a quoted one — with another five add-ons layered on top.

Who it's built for

The honest ICP read.

Domivy

Solo landlords with mixed stays

Operators running 5–40 units where the mix of short, mid, and long stays shifts by season. You want one calendar, one inbox, one rent ledger, one white-labeled portal — not six tools glued together with spreadsheets.

Guesty

STR-focused hosts

STR operators from 1 listing (Lite) up to 200+ listings (Enterprise). Most real features gated to Pro (quote-only, 4–199 listings).

Switching over

Moving off Guesty.

medium migrationIvy handles the parsing · your time: ~15 minutes

Guesty has an API and CSV exports; the channel-sync pause during migration is the real cost, not the data move itself.

The honest trade-off

What you'd gain. What you'd give up.

No product is universally better. If we can't name what you'd lose by switching, we don't deserve your trust. Here's the honest read.

What you'd gain with Domivy

  • Real features (60 channels, dynamic pricing, website) require quote-only Pro tier
  • Lite tier is deliberately limited to 3 channels and 3 listings — mostly a trial
  • Too many paid add-ons on top of a base subscription — total cost balloons fast
  • No LTR or lease concept at all

What you'd give up from Guesty

  • Broadest channel coverage in the market — 60+ booking sites on Pro tier
  • Strong operations layer for cleaners and maintenance teams
  • Capital (working-capital product) is interesting for high-volume ops

If those three bullets are what your operation depends on — stay. We'll be here when your portfolio changes shape.
