WordPress is the world's most widely used open-source CMS, and with good reason: it's very flexible, has a huge ecosystem of themes and plugins, and the site is yours, hosted wherever you like. Plenty of excellent short-term rental websites run on WordPress. If you have the technical skills, it's one of the most powerful options available.
The difference lies in the approach. On WordPress, a rental website that takes bookings is an assembly job: a theme, a booking plugin, another for payments, another for languages, another for SEO and another for security and backups. They then need to be kept updated, compatible with each other and fast, and that work falls to the owner or to whoever they pay. NossoSite is a custom-built site with booking requests and a calendar showing the dates booked on Booking.com and Airbnb built in, delivered ready to use and maintained by us. The Monthly plan costs €29 a month with no setup fee; the Purchase plan costs €390 once and €99 a year. We charge no booking commission and everything includes VAT. The domain and the data are always yours.
They suit different people. If you want full control and maximum flexibility, and you have (or can hire) someone who knows their way around it, WordPress is hard to beat. If you'd rather have a site that takes direct bookings from day one, without managing plugins or worrying about security, and with changes requested on WhatsApp, that's where we come in.
