Managing holiday rentals is becoming increasingly complex and competitive. Technology can make all the difference between wasting hours and gaining peace of mind (and bookings). This includes integration with leading holiday rental platforms such as Booking.com and Airbnb, which allows bookings to be synchronised automatically and helps prevent overbookings.
In this context, Bookipro and AvaiBook are two of the most comprehensive platforms on the market, though they take slightly different approaches.
Let’s see what they have to offer, how they are similar, and how they differ.
Which one offers the most comprehensive control over the business?
Bookipro: designed from the outset as a comprehensive all-in-one system.
Not just focusing on specific tasks, but on the overall management of your business: from rates, bookings and scheduling to statistics and reporting, all in a single dashboard.
However, although AvaiBook offers many useful automations, its documentation suggests that some advanced features (such as dynamic pricing or certain automations) may require additional modules or need to be enabled separately, and are not always included as standard.
Which platform best integrates a PMS, booking engine and website into a single system?
Bookipro: Everything is natively integrated into the platform.
You don’t have to ‘connect’ several separate modules: PMS, channel manager, booking engine, website with direct booking channel;
With AvaiBook, although you also have these features, many require separate activation and, in some cases, integration with services such as EasyWeb for your website, with terms and conditions that may vary depending on the plan.
Who offers a more efficient and transparent settlement system for property owners?
Bookipro: includes a built-in module for settling accounts with landlords, to simplify financial management.
The system allows you to:
- Automatically calculate payments to property owners based on bookings and commissions.
- Generate clear and detailed reports for each settlement.
- Grant restricted access to property owners so that they can view their bookings and payments without accessing other people’s information.
- Avoid using spreadsheets or manual processes by centralising all management within a single cloud-based dashboard.
Although AvaiBook allows you to manage payments and collections, it does not have such a comprehensive or automated system for settling payments with property owners. This means that managers handling multiple properties may have to perform manual calculations or use external tools to allocate income and commissions, thereby increasing the administrative burden.
Which one offers better support and training?
Bookipro: supports users from day one.
Direct support and training are included to help you resolve queries quickly, access tutorials and webinars that show you how to get the most out of the platform, and reduce the learning curve—even if you’ve never used a PMS before. What’s more, every client is assigned a dedicated support representative, with a direct phone number and email address, ensuring that any issues or queries are resolved quickly and personally.
AvaiBook offers customer support via its website and email, but some advanced features require additional assistance or external guides, which can slow down the set-up process and create more manual work for managers with multiple properties.
Which platform offers advanced management features with clear reports?
Bookipro: you don’t have to rely on plugins or external tools.
It offers integrated reporting, statistics and advanced pricing management features, with dashboards that help you make business decisions directly from the dashboard.
Although AvaiBook offers analytics and pricing tools, activating them usually requires additional modules or components (such as advanced data tools or external managers), which can make it difficult for some users to use.
