GetApp offers objective, independent research and verified user reviews. We may earn a referral fee when you visit a vendor through our links.
Our commitment
Independent research methodology
Our researchers use a mix of verified reviews, independent research, and objective methodologies to bring you selection and ranking information you can trust. While we may earn a referral fee when you visit a provider through our links or speak to an advisor, this has no influence on our research or methodology.
Verified user reviews
GetApp maintains a proprietary database of millions of in-depth, verified user reviews across thousands of products in hundreds of software categories. Our data scientists apply advanced modeling techniques to identify key insights about products based on those reviews. We may also share aggregated ratings and select excerpts from those reviews throughout our site.
Our human moderators verify that reviewers are real people and that reviews are authentic. They use leading tech to analyze text quality and to detect plagiarism and generative AI.
How GetApp ensures transparency
GetApp lists all providers across its website—not just those that pay us—so that users can make informed purchase decisions. GetApp is free for users. Software providers pay us for sponsored profiles to receive web traffic and sales opportunities. Sponsored profiles include a link-out icon that takes users to the provider’s website.

“What I like least about Hostfully is that some useful features still feel a bit limited or could be more flexible — for example, the stay dates still appear only in English in the variables, we have to manually change it in each message; it’s also currently impossible to assign a new booking to a returning guest without re-entering all their details; there are quite a few duplicates, and the system doesn’t consolidate similar inquiries from the same person.”

Idk what the issue is, but I don’t have to “update my browser, clear my cookies or my cache” with ANY OTHER APP or SOFTWARE I use.
Shevawn A.
Owner
“We were looking for a PMS that would be easy to implement, integrate with all of our booking platforms (AirBnB, VRBO, Booking.com) and be cost-effective. ”
MR
Michael R.
Owner operator
Pros
“Good, I do believe however, there is some fine tuning to do with regards to semper and Knightsbridge links as we are experiencing a lot of over bookings which comes through from Knightsbridge and does not allow us to accommodate the Guests on the Semper calendar.”
RK
Richard K.
Assistant General Manager
“This makes it easier for me to track what is happening at my properties and pull any report I want.”

“e.g. monthly focus communication to allow for more continous indirect training and learnings”
SB
Shaah B.
Director
Cons
“Idk why I should have to clear my data every other week so that Hostfully will work, when I don’t need to do this for ABB, VRBO, Stripe, Pricelabs, QB, AWS, Google, etc. And when a guest texts me that my guidebook link is broken, I need to be able to talk to someone.”
Shevawn A.
Owner
“It's inconvenient to sign onto the browser on my phone, find the tabs to navigate, then cancel a scheduled message.”
KJ
Kelsey J.
Property Manager
“You double space after the end of a sentence and it sends &nspc after each period; It doesn't have a sort system to show you outstanding balances or pending transactions so you don't know who to follow up with; and there are problems every single day trying to do basic things that the system will not do. ”
TL
Tam L.
Owner
Cons
“Only issue for us is the first recipe of recipe within a recipe is that it creates units instead of also volume or weight, so can't create bulk stuff”
AH
Achmat H.
Director
“I miss the ability to be able to log into the system remotely via an app in order to perform functions that are not permitted by on-site staff. ”
GP
Gerrit P.
Director
“Most reports do not have totals When you enter goods recieved - you cannot save - if there is a power cut you have to redo all your work.”
