Why businesses choose PeakSpitz over Hostaway

  • Spitz AI is included for everyone at no add-on, drafting guest messages, scheduling turnovers and chasing follow-ups the moment you approve.

  • Real accounting and VAT are built in, so you usually don't need to bolt on a separate bookkeeping system.
  • Marketing, sales, storefront, operations and payments are joined up in one app rather than a channel-manager core plus add-ons.
  • EU-hosted with per-customer data isolation and an open REST API plus webhooks for GDPR-ready integration.

PeakSpitz vs Hostaway, answered

What is the difference between PeakSpitz and Hostaway?

Hostaway is capable vacation-rental software with a strong channel manager, typically priced around property count. PeakSpitz is one AI platform that joins marketing, sales, storefront, operations, payments and real accounting, with unlimited users and Spitz AI included on every plan.

Does PeakSpitz replace a separate accounting tool?

Usually. Real accounting and VAT are built in, so PeakSpitz typically handles invoicing, ledgers and tax in the same app, which rental platforms often leave to an external system.

Will I pay more as my team grows?

Not for seats. PeakSpitz includes unlimited users on every plan, so adding staff or contractors usually doesn't raise the price the way per-seat models can.
