Domivy vs Hostaway

What Hospitable hosts migrate to. Powerful, quote-only, built for agencies.

The one-liner

Great if you're an STR agency running 30+ listings with a team. Overkill and overpriced for a solo landlord mixing stay types.

The longer version

Hostaway is where professional STR operators go when they've outgrown Hospitable. It's powerful, integrated, and priced accordingly. But every bit of that power is aimed at pure-STR agencies. A solo landlord doing 8 furnished mid-term units plus 3 long-term leases is paying for muscle they'll never use, and still running a spreadsheet for the LTR side. Hostaway has leaned hard into AI and now includes native reply-drafting, but it is feature-level automation scoped to short-stay guest messaging, not a portfolio-wide co-operator that reasons across short, mid, and long stays the way Ivy does.

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.

Hostaway

STR-focused hosts

STR operators managing 10-500+ listings who've outgrown Hospitable and want deeper integrations, owner portals, and a dedicated account manager. Quote-only pricing.

Switching over

Hostaway has a full API and CSV export. Ivy can pull both; migration is clean but requires you to pause channel sync for a few hours while reservations transfer.

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

  • Opaque pricing. You can't know the sticker without a sales call
  • Onboarding typically 3-5 weeks, not days. Too heavy for a solo op
  • LTR and co-living leases aren't a first-class concept
  • Per-listing pricing scales linearly; no discount for mixing stay types

What you'd give up from Hostaway

  • Deepest STR integration catalog in the market (Premier Airbnb and Elite Vrbo partner, all major OTAs, 200+ marketplace integrations)
  • Real owner portal with financial reporting. Strong for agency use cases
  • Robust API for teams that want to build their own tooling on top

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

Founding-member access

Three months free. Card required. Cancel anytime.

We open the doors this summer. Founding members lock in three free months and a direct line to the team. After launch, this offer is gone.
