Hospitable has a free Essentials plan with channel sync and scheduled messages (checked October 15, 2026). We set up the tools and workflows for you.

FAQ

Can I automate Airbnb messages for free?

Hospitable's free Essentials plan includes scheduled guest messages and channel sync. Airbnb also has its own scheduled messages feature in the host tools.

Do I need a smart lock?

No, but smart locks with automatic codes remove the most common check-in problems. We check which locks your software supports.

Can you manage the property for me instead?

We can introduce Lancaster County owners to our local hosting partner for co-hosting or full management. Book a free call.
