iGMS is Airbnb-native PMS / automation. On cost, the published figure is 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 North Carolina.
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.
What the record says about fit
Category first: iGMS is Airbnb-native PMS / automation, so judge it against that job — not against suites that promise everything. 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.
Two owner scenarios
- The owner far from the door. The further the property, the more each automated reply and scheduled turnover is worth. The no-PMS setup keeps the moving parts — and the failure points — few.
- 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.
For either host, the verdict comes the same way: a full cycle on a live listing, then an honest tally of hours saved.
Our advice before any contract: hold it against a benchmark — an AI concierge — 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. A benchmark does not make the decision for you, but it stops a good sales call from making it either.
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.

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
Worth putting on the same shortlist. We have listed what each one publishes, and where nothing is published we say so:
- Changeover — From £6/property/mo (annual); 30-day trial.
- Revyoos — From €5/mo; 14-day trial.
- RoomPriceGenie — Not published (quote, annual).
Our own number one in this category is BnBGenius — see run your rental from Telegram for how the no-PMS setup actually works.
