If you search “Airbnb channel manager” or “vacation rental PMS”, OwnerRez is on the page. Washington-state product (help@ownerrez.com, +1 206 651 4090). Per-property USD invoice, unlimited bookings, no commission on the stay.
I run HolidayFox, so this is not a neutral page. Both can hold a book. The useful question is whether you want their US channel-manager stack billed in dollars, or a PMS that answers at 9pm on your domain.
What OwnerRez is, and what they do well
Cloud PMS + free channel manager + widgets + team/owner/cleaner portals. Premium add-ons: property-management statements, QuickBooks, hosted websites, WordPress plugin, SMS, Rezzy AI ($9 per property/month as shown).
Things they genuinely do well:
- It is a real vacation-rental book. Calendar, engine, channels, owner statements if you pay for that premium.
- Published USD table, not a hidden quote. As shown on ownerrez.com/support/articles/costs-and-fees (updated about a week before 2026-09-13): 1st property $40/month; properties 2–3 $15 each; 4th $10; 5–9 $8; 10–19 $7; 20–49 $6; 50–99 $4; 100–199 $3; 200+ $2. Three properties is $70/month before premiums. No setup, booking or contract fees. 14-day trial.
- Channel manager is included in the base fee. That extra is why a multi-OTA host buys them.
- Rezzy AI is their guest-messaging assistant inside OwnerRez ($9 per property/month). It is not the same as a live-chat assistant on your own website that sees HolidayFox stock.
If your priority is “a USD channel manager with no booking commission, and I will handle evenings in their inbox,” OwnerRez is a credible answer. We will not pretend 5% is cheaper than $40 a month on software cost at one property.
What HolidayFox is, and where we are different
HolidayFox is a full PMS for independent stays: calendar, bookings, payments, guest messaging, self check-in, a daily agenda, a booking widget or hosted website, after-hours live chat, and Google Hotels.
Widget checkout is live on your domain (Stripe). Paying inside the chat thread is still rolling out. You do not need OwnerRez for the diary. If you already have it, iCal can sync — you do not have to.
