The published facts, in plain English
iGMS is Airbnb-native PMS / automation. It lists its pricing as 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 the Peak to Peak.
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
Side by side on published terms: iGMS lists FLEX $1/booked night (min $20/prop); PRO $18–$21/prop/mo, while BnBGenius lists free for the first 500 messages, then $10/month flat, with no PMS required. Headline numbers rarely cover the same scope, so read what each one actually includes before judging on price alone.
What the published record signals
iGMS files under Airbnb-native PMS / automation; the fair test is how well it does that one job on a live listing. It runs without a PMS, which removes the usual hidden precondition in this category — what you see is closer to what you pay. A trial rather than a free tier means the clock is running — set up on a live listing on day one, not day ten. Published pricing of FLEX $1/booked night (min $20/prop); PRO $18–$21/prop/mo makes the value math checkable before you commit.
How this plays for two kinds of owner
- The owner far from the door. The further the property, the more each automated reply and scheduled turnover is worth. The no-PMS setup keeps the moving parts — and the failure points — few.
- The one-listing host. At one property, tooling should cost minutes and pocket change — check what iGMS’s model costs at your actual size, not at the portfolio scale the marketing pictures.
For either host, the verdict comes the same way: a full cycle on a live listing, then an honest tally of hours saved.
Whatever you conclude here, compare it against one fixed point: an AI phone concierge for hosts — 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. Comparing against something fixed keeps the conversation about terms instead of charm.
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
If you are drawing up a shortlist, these are the closest comparisons we would put beside it — each with its own published price, or a note that there isn’t one:
- YourWelcome — $449.99/property/yr (tablet incl.).
- Quibble — Not published (quote); flat per-listing.
- Smoobu — €29/mo +0.9% fee, or €31.50/mo 0%.
