Hostfully is a full PMS built for property managers running 10+ units. If you have 1-3 rentals and just want the digital guidebook, the subscription pricing doesn't add up. Guest Guide is the no-PMS-bloat, lifetime alternative.

Just the digital guidebook part. Hostfully is a full property management system with channel manager, pricing tools, owner statements. If you need a PMS, keep Hostfully. If you only need the guest-facing guide, switch to Guest Guide for $49 once.
Hostfully Guidebooks Pro is around $96/year per property. Guest Guide Pro is $49 once for unlimited guides. Break-even is at 6 months for one property; the gap widens dramatically with more properties.
Guest Guide uses AI to pre-fill your guide from your Airbnb or Booking.com listing details. We don't generate itineraries — guests have Google Maps for that. Our take: most AI itinerary features are demo-ware, not what hosts asked for.
Export your guidebook content from Hostfully, sign up at Guest Guide, paste the description into our AI prefill, and adjust. Most hosts finish migration in under 15 minutes per property.
