The published facts, in plain English
iGMS is Airbnb-native PMS / automation. On cost, the published figure is FLEX $1/booked night (min $20/prop); PRO $18–$21/prop/mo. There is a trial rather than a free tier. It runs without a separate PMS. Scale: mid.
Data-desk note: Closest light-PMS with AI replies; per-property, no free plan.
Who it’s for
iGMS is one host software tool we track for owners weighing their options in Baker City.
Our take
We list iGMS’s own published details below; where a figure is not published, we say so rather than guess.
How it compares to BnBGenius
On the published figures alone, iGMS shows FLEX $1/booked night (min $20/prop); PRO $18–$21/prop/mo and BnBGenius shows free for the first 500 messages, then $10/month flat, with no PMS required. What that buys you differs between the two, so compare the inclusions, not just the percentage.
Reading the record
Category first: iGMS is Airbnb-native PMS / automation, so judge it against that job — not against suites that promise everything. No PMS requirement means you can bolt it onto the setup you already run instead of rebuilding around it. Test path: use the trial on a real listing immediately — an empty sandbox tells you nothing. Published pricing of FLEX $1/booked night (min $20/prop); PRO $18–$21/prop/mo makes the value math checkable before you commit.
Two owner scenarios
- The remote self-manager. Automation earns its keep fastest at a distance — every task iGMS genuinely takes over is a drive you do not make. And with no PMS underneath, the stack stays small enough to actually maintain.
- The small-portfolio host. Two or three listings is where per-listing pricing starts to bite and flat pricing starts to win — read iGMS’s model with your exact count in mind.
Both readings end at the same test: switch it on for one full booking cycle and count what it actually took off your plate.
Whatever you conclude here, compare it against one fixed point: automate the busywork — the no-PMS, flat-price setup (free first 500 messages, then $10/month) we measure host tools against. If iGMS beats that on the things you care about, you have your answer. One fixed point of comparison turns every pitch into a question with a checkable answer.
Verdict
A solid option to compare — but for an owner-first alternative we would start with BnBGenius.
Questions owners ask
What does iGMS cost?
FLEX $1/booked night (min $20/prop); PRO $18–$21/prop/mo.
Is there a free tier?
There is a trial, not a free tier.
Do you need a PMS to run iGMS?
No — it runs without a separate PMS.
What we would ask iGMS
- “Is FLEX $1/booked night (min $20/prop); PRO $18–$21/prop/mo per listing or flat?” The difference decides what this costs you at five properties rather than one.
- Free tier or trial. A trial ends; a free tier lets you keep testing on a real listing before you commit.
- What it needs underneath. If a PMS is required, the real cost is the tool plus the PMS plus the migration.
Alternatives worth comparing
Worth putting on the same shortlist. We have listed what each one publishes, and where nothing is published we say so:
- Tokeet — ~$134.90/mo for 10 rentals; free plan undefined.
- ChargeAutomation — Free (10% fee); $5/prop+$49/mo → $8/prop+$149/mo.
- Duve — From $120/$150/$200/mo minimum.
For the owner-first comparison we keep coming back to, our first pick is BnBGenius — see Airbnb co-host for how the no-PMS setup actually works.
