Hostaway Pricing in 2026: Quote-Only, and What to Ask
Hostaway doesn't publish its prices: you request a quote through a form, and it isn't sold to hosts with one listing. Here is what it does publish, its fees on direct bookings, and what to ask before you sign.

The short answer
Hostaway doesn't publish its prices: you get a quote after telling it how many listings you manage, and it isn't sold to hosts with one listing. What it does publish is the fees on direct bookings: a 3.9% payment processing fee and a 1.8% fee charged to guests. This guide covers what's published and what to ask before you sign.
Prices checked on October 9, 2026 against Hostaway's own pricing page (opens in a new tab), with every source listed at the end. If Hostaway changes a price, its page wins.

Who Hostaway sells to
The pricing page (opens in a new tab) is a short form that starts by asking how many listings you manage: 0–1, 2–4, 5–14, 15–49, 50–199 or 200 and more. Choosing 0–1 leads to a waitlist page (opens in a new tab) saying Hostaway isn't available for that portfolio size, so in practice it sells to hosts with two listings or more.
Questions to ask in a Hostaway quote
Because the price comes as a quote, get these answers in writing before you compare:
- The price per listing per month, and whether it falls as you add listings.
- Any minimum monthly charge, setup or onboarding fee, and the contract length.
- Whether monthly billing is possible, or only yearly.
- Which features cost extra on top of the base price, such as dynamic pricing, smart locks or a more advanced website.
- The rate of the application fee on guest payments, which its help article (opens in a new tab) mentions without stating, and who pays the 1.8% guest fee.
What 1, 2 and 5 properties cost a month
The fairest comparison is the setup most independent hosts run: a direct booking website for every property, on the cheapest published plan that includes one.

How BnB Console differs
BnB Console includes the booking website, calendar sync with Airbnb and Vrbo, pricing rules, a guest inbox and Stripe payments on both of its plans. Free costs nothing a month and charges 2% only on bookings you receive; Pro is $29 a month covering 2 properties, then $10 per additional property per month, with no booking fee. It is built for independent hosts, so it has fewer channel connections and enterprise tools than Hostaway lists. See BnB Console pricing.
