Futurestay vs OwnerRez

Both manage calendars. One helps you profit.

OwnerRez is great for calendar control. But if you want to grow your business—not just manage it—you need more than a self-serve PMS.

The Real Difference

Control vs. Growth.

Great for hosts who know exactly what they're doing and just want tools to move faster.

Direct booking website included
Airbnb, Hopper, and Google VR
Human support that knows your business

Listing Optimization

Your listings, reviewed by an expert.

OwnerRez leaves listing optimization up to you. Futurestay assigns a real person to review your listings and make specific recommendations that improve your rankings and bookings.

  • Full listing audit.

    We review titles, photos, amenities, and pricing—not a generic checklist you do yourself.

  • Algorithm-boosting tweaks.

    Small fixes that OwnerRez can't catch because they don't offer optimization services.

Photos optimized

Cover photo and order look great.

Cleaning fee too high

$250 is 40% above market avg.

Strict cancellation policy

Reduces visibility by ~15%.

Dedicated Support

People who know your properties.

OwnerRez offers support through a knowledge base and community forums. Futurestay gives you real people who learn your properties and help you succeed.

  • Phone and email support.

    Talk to a person, not a knowledge base article. We respond quickly with real answers.

  • We know your business.

    Personalized advice for your listings and goals—not a forum thread from three years ago.

Support team

Hi Marcus! I reviewed your Downtown Loft listing. Quick win: your cancellation policy is set to Strict which is hurting your search rank.

Oh wow, I had no idea. What should I change it to?

Support team

Moderate is the sweet spot. I also noticed your cleaning fee is $275 but similar listings in your area are around $150. Want me to walk you through adjusting both?

Direct Booking

Your own booking site. Built for you.

OwnerRez connects to many channels but requires you to build and manage your own direct booking site. Futurestay builds your site for you and syncs with Airbnb automatically.

  • No DIY site builder.

    We build your direct booking site. You don't need to design templates or configure payment processing.

  • Full Sync.

    Real-time calendar sync between Airbnb and your direct site. No double bookings, no manual updates.

"I recently joined Futurestay after trying to set up a website and account with a competitive platform with which I had such difficulties to get anything done because of an overcomplicated interface and lack of communication. My experience with Futurestay was much better."
