What Lodgify does

Lodgify is a Barcelona-based, venture-backed SaaS company founded in 2012 that sells an all-in-one vacation rental property management platform to independent hosts and property managers. The platform is organized around five pillars: a Channel Manager with premier-tier API integrations to Airbnb (Preferred+), Booking.com (Premier), Vrbo (Elite), and Google Vacation Rentals; a no-code direct-booking website builder; Lodgify Payments (PCI-compliant in-house processing) plus Stripe/PayPal/Authorize.net gateways; an AI-assisted unified inbox and automation engine for guest communications; and operational modules including dynamic pricing, smart lock integration, task management, owner statements, guest registration compliance, and damage protection via Safely. The product is complemented by an ecosystem of 100+ third-party integrations, free educational content (Academy, Encyclopedia), and a consultancy service for portfolio automation.

The business model is tiered subscription (Basic, Starter, Professional, Ultimate) priced per property on monthly or yearly cycles, with significant yearly-plan discounts and active promotional offers; notably, Lodgify charges no booking commissions, capturing value through flat software fees while enabling hosts to retain 100% of rental income. Go-to-market is product-led growth via a 7-day free trial without credit card, supported by an inside-sales team for mid-market demos and consultancy-led upsell for property managers. The company claims a footprint of 500,000+ hosts across 180+ countries and has raised approximately €36.6M across five funding rounds through a November 2022 €30M Series B led by Octopus Ventures, with the company now operating with 251-500 employees out of Barcelona.
