Whichever you are weighing, the twelve things a Philippine estate needs are the same. Every verdict on their side names its source and the day we checked it; every tick on ours is running code you can open today.

Premises vs Hostaway, in full →Across dozens of channels its automation is real — a large short-stay operation is in capable hands.
Premises vs Guesty, in full →The direct-booking website is genuinely theirs — a host who wants a branded, commission-free booking site gets a good one.
Premises vs Lodgify, in full →Where it is decided
Twelve rows are below. These three are the ones an estate coming off Hostaway, Guesty and Lodgify feels in the first week.
▶ a still from the shortstay payouts filmMoney
A tenant in Cebu does not carry a Visa card. If the platform cannot take the way Filipinos pay, every payment is a phone call and a bank slip.
▶ a still from the apartments invoices filmMoney
Every peso that lands has to be receipted the BIR way, from the same book that raised it. A foreign platform has never heard of the EOPT.
▶ a still from the shortstay door filmMoney
A price you can plan on in the currency you collect in. No slice of the rent or the booking, no dollar tier that moves with the exchange rate.
The twelve, with sources
The same twelve rows for every kind of software. Where we could not verify a thing, the cell says so and wears no verdict.

Where they are genuinely better
The channel manager and the automation are genuinely theirs — a busy short-stay host juggling Airbnb and Vrbo is well served.
Across dozens of channels its automation is real — a large short-stay operation is in capable hands.
The direct-booking website is genuinely theirs — a host who wants a branded, commission-free booking site gets a good one.
Where Premises is the only answer
10 of the twelve that none of the 3 carry, on their own pages, on the day checked.
The price, beside theirs
