Mangobeds vs. LobbyPMS
A fair, side-by-side comparison to help you choose the right property management platform for your business.
At a glance
LobbyPMS is a cloud PMS founded in 2014 in Medellín, Colombia, now used by more than 1,500 properties across Latin America. It bundles a PMS, channel manager, booking engine and a point of sale for restaurants and bars, and it is unusually strong on local compliance, with electronic invoicing certified for Colombia (DIAN) and the Dominican Republic (DGII). If you run a small or mid-size hotel or hostel in Latin America and want the bar tab on the same bill as the room, it is a serious option.
Mangobeds is an all-in-one property management platform built by operators who run hotels, hostels and colivings themselves. PMS, channel manager, booking engine, AI agents, invoicing and accounting come in one published plan with no per-booking fee, alongside purpose-built tools for coliving, coworking and long stays.
Both cover the core well and neither charges commission on bookings. The real differences are AI and automation, long-stay and coworking support, and how much you can find out before you buy.
Feature Comparison
How the features stack up
Pricing
One published price, whatever your size
LobbyPMS prices by number of rooms and quotes on request, so the only way to compare is to ask. Mangobeds publishes every tier.
Know what you pay before you book a demo
Every Mangobeds plan is on our pricing page, per unit, with AI agents, channel manager and accounting included.
LobbyPMS does not publish rates; third-party directories list entry pricing from around $30/mo for the smallest properties. Both platforms take no commission on bookings.

Why operators choose Mangobeds over LobbyPMS
AI agents answer while you sleep
Mangobeds includes AI agents that reply to guest enquiries around the clock, chase missing information and draft your messages. LobbyPMS lists no AI features, so every enquiry waits for a human.
Built for long stays, not just nights
Colivings, monthly guests and coworking desks are first-class in Mangobeds: monthly pricing, long-stay discounts, desks and rooms on one calendar. LobbyPMS is a hotel and hostel product, and long stays are handled as ordinary reservations.
One more way to get paid locally
Both platforms connect Tilopay, but Mangobeds also connects Pagadito, which covers Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama and the Dominican Republic. Eighteen payment providers in total, so you keep the local rates instead of paying to route money abroad.
Your books, not just your invoices
The Accounting app tracks expenses next to the revenue we already hold, shows profit for any period, and exports a journal or syncs to QuickBooks Online. LobbyPMS records expenses but has no accounting integration to hand your accountant.
Prices you can read before you talk to sales
Every Mangobeds plan is published, per unit, with everything included. LobbyPMS quotes by room on request, so comparing costs means booking a demo first.
Free migration, zero friction
We move your data for free, connect your channels and get you live in hours rather than weeks. No setup fees, no consultants, no long-term contracts.
