AI hospitality tools with a free trial (paid plans only)
Updated 20 Oct 2026 · Prices from vendor pages only · How we rank →
The short answer
None of these AI hospitality tools has a permanent free plan, but each offers a trial confirmed on its pricing page. Lodgify comes first: low entry price for one property, no booking fees, and an AI assistant for guest replies. The cheapest verified paid plan here is Guesty Lite (From $9/month per listing). None of the 4 has a free plan we could confirm. Every price below is from the vendor’s own page, checked 20 Oct 2026.
