Coho vs Hostaway
Hostaway doesn't publish its pricing — you get a number after a sales call. Industry estimates put a small 1-4 unit portfolio at roughly $125-175/month, plus a one-time onboarding fee that can run from a few hundred dollars to over a thousand. It's a mid-market property management system, not really aimed at a solo host.

What Hostaway does well
- Full mid-market property management feature set: channel management, task automation, financial reporting
- Built to support a small team, not just a single host
- Handles multi-owner portfolios if you manage properties for other people
What Coho doesn't do
- No channel manager, task automation, or team/owner reporting
- No sales calls or custom quotes — the price is just the price
- No onboarding process to schedule
Hostaway is the better choice if
You're running rentals as a small business with staff, or managing properties on behalf of other owners, not just hosting your own place.
If you're one person hosting one or two places, a quote-based product priced for small property management businesses is solving a different problem than the one you have. Coho publishes its price, has no onboarding fee, and no sales call required — because the tools are simple enough that you shouldn't need one.
