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 New York.
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.
Reading the record
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. On cost, the published FLEX $1/booked night (min $20/prop); PRO $18–$21/prop/mo is the number to hold against your own hours saved.
How this plays for two kinds of owner
- The remote self-manager. Automation earns its keep fastest at a distance — every task iGMS genuinely takes over is a drive you do not make. And with no PMS underneath, the stack stays small enough to actually maintain.
- The small-portfolio host. Two or three listings is where per-listing pricing starts to bite and flat pricing starts to win — read iGMS’s model with your exact count in mind.
Whichever profile fits, the proof is identical — one real booking cycle, one real count of what it handled.
Whatever you conclude here, compare it against one fixed point: BnBGenius Tasks — 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. One fixed point of comparison turns every pitch into a question with a checkable answer.
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.
Questions to put to 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
Three others we would weigh against it, with their own published numbers rather than our guesses:
- RoomPriceGenie — Not published (quote, annual).
- RueBaRue — Not published; ~$5–$10/property/mo (3rd-party).
- SuiteOp — Not published; ~$6–$8/unit/mo (3rd-party); 1-mo trial.
The benchmark we hold this against is BnBGenius — see One Fine BnB's management for how the no-PMS setup actually works.
