Model comparison
NossoSite vs Lodgify.
Both solve the same problem — direct bookings, no commission per booking. The difference isn't quality: it's the model. Monthly subscription and a template, or a one-off payment and a bespoke site that stays yours.
Honest comparison
~/compare/nossosite-vs-lodgify.md
Lodgify is a well-known, capable all-in-one platform for short-term rentals: it combines a website builder, a booking engine and a channel manager that syncs with Airbnb, Booking and Vrbo. Like us, it charges no commission on direct bookings — whoever books through your site gives you 100% of the revenue. On that point we're identical, and it would be dishonest to say otherwise.
The difference is in how you pay and in what stays yours. Lodgify is a recurring monthly subscription, charged per property: the site exists while the subscription is active, because it's served from the platform and built on one of the available templates. NossoSite is a one-off payment (€290, €599 or €1,490): a bespoke-designed site whose code and domain stay yours, with no monthly fee to keep it online.
We don't say one is good and the other bad — we say they're different models for different needs. If you need a channel manager and operational management in a single panel and prefer to spread the cost across a monthly fee, Lodgify makes sense. If you want a unique site that is an asset you own rather than a perpetual expense, that's where we come in.
Model difference, side by side
Lodgify
NossoSite
How you pay
Recurring monthly subscription, charged per property (from ~$14/mo on the annual plan).
One-off payment: €290 (Essential), €599 (Professional) or €1,490 (Premium). No fee to exist.
Site design
Built on the platform's pre-set templates, customisable.
Bespoke-designed from scratch for your property.
Who owns the site
The domain can be yours; the website is served from the platform and is part of the subscription.
The code and domain stay yours. The site keeps existing even with no relationship with us.
If you stop paying
The site and booking engine depend on an active subscription to work.
The site stays online. There's no monthly fee that can switch it off.
Commission on direct bookings
0% — you keep 100% of direct-booking revenue.
0% — you also keep 100% of direct-booking revenue.
Operational management
Channel manager and PMS included: syncs rates and calendars with multiple OTAs.
Booking engine with calendar sync; we integrate the operational tools you already use.
What Lodgify does well (and it's fair to say so)
A mature channel manager: syncs calendars and rates with Airbnb, Booking and Vrbo in one panel.
0% commission on direct bookings, just like us — the argument between the two is never commission.
For anyone running many units who wants everything (site, PMS, channels) in a single product, it's a solid choice.
When each one makes sense
Lodgify makes more sense if…
- You want a channel manager and PMS in the same panel as the site.
- You prefer spreading the cost across a monthly fee rather than an upfront investment.
- You run several units and need constant operational sync between OTAs.
NossoSite makes more sense if…
- You want a unique, bespoke site, not a configured template.
- You prefer to pay once and own the site, the code and the domain.
- You don't want a perpetual monthly fee just for the site to exist.
If what you're after is an own site that is an asset you own — bespoke-designed, paid once and free of platform lock-in — talk to us directly. No commitment.
