A guidebook, not a whole suite.
Hostfully's guidebook sits inside a broader property-management platform. If you just want a beautiful, always-current welcome guide, without adopting a whole PMS, StayBinder keeps things focused.
The short answer
Yes, if the guest guide is the part you care about. Hostfully's guidebook is bundled inside a wider PMS, whereas StayBinder is a focused standalone guide from £9.99 a month for your first property, then £4.99 for each extra, with a 14-day no-card trial, off-season pausing, review routing and a UK bin-day schedule. Hostfully suits hosts who want a full all-in-one platform.

- Live in an afternoon, a guided wizard, then a QR code on the worktop.
- £9.99/mo for your first property, then £4.99 per extra, no card to trial, pause-to-pause billing.
- A shared content library and drift detection keep a whole portfolio consistent.
- Cookie-free, GDPR-aware analytics, no tracking your guests around the web.

Hostfully Guidebooks vs StayBinder
Do I have to adopt a whole PMS to get the guidebook?
No. Hostfully's guidebook sits inside a broader property-management suite. StayBinder is a focused, standalone guest guide on its own terms, so you get a beautiful welcome guide without taking on a whole platform. See how it works.
How does the price compare?
StayBinder is simple, honest pricing: £9.99 a month for your first property, then £4.99 for each extra, with everything included, where Hostfully's guidebook comes as part of suite or bundle pricing at the time of writing. There is also a 14-day trial with no card, and you can use code LAUNCH2026 for £4.99 a month for your first property and £1.99 for each extra, for your first 6 months. See our pricing.
What does StayBinder add that the Hostfully guidebook does not?
You can pause a property in the off-season and the charge pauses with it, route reviews so you catch unhappy guests first, and show a UK bin-day schedule. Guests open it from one QR code, no app and no login, and it works offline.
When is Hostfully the better fit?
If you want an all-in-one PMS with the guidebook bundled in, and you need more than seven languages of auto-translation, Hostfully is built around that. StayBinder leans to hosts who just want a beautiful guide, focused and honestly priced. Compare the alternatives.
