Why choose Welkodia over Guesty?
A guidebook as the main product
Welkodia is not just another module: the entire experience is designed for guest reception, without the complexity of a full PMS.
Native services store
The guidebook becomes a direct point of sale for your extras (late checkout, cleaning, services) with simplified order tracking.
Start with Solo
Start with Solo and a 14-day trial. Test the usage, validate your services, and generate your first revenue before billing.
Pricing comparison
The main difference is the scope. Welkodia offers a dedicated welcome-book tool with Solo, while Guesty charges for a full suite.
Welkodia

Guesty
From €18/month + 1%
Advertised price for Guesty Lite (+ 1% per booking). Includes the full PMS. 14-day free trial available.
Do better than a simple guest guide
Start with Solo, add your services, and transform every stay into a smoother and more profitable experience.

Our verdict
Guesty is a solid solution if you are looking for complete property management software: channel manager, calendar, automations, and Guest App all in one environment.
Welkodia is the best choice if your priority is to quickly create a digital welcome book, integrate a services store, and test through Solo before moving to Plus or Pro.
FAQ
No. Guesty is primarily a complete property management platform. The guest guide exists within their Guest App, but the tool is part of a broader suite including a channel manager, calendar, and payments.
