"I am very satisfied with Escapia. Customer support is amazing." Renda F., Owner property manager

Support for the work behind every reservation 

Our dedicated support team is always ready to assist, ensuring our customers have knowledgable agents available to help them overcome any challenges. Unlike many platforms such as Lodgify, which depend largely on email tickets, slow chat support, and self-service resources, Escapia gives you direct access to U.S.-based phone support; no time wasted on frustrating AI chatbots.

We understand the critical nature of your business and how downtime can mean lost bookings, unhappy guests, and thousands in revenue. That’s why our support team is made up of industry experts (some with 15+ years of experience working at Escapia!), and available during extended hours. When your business depends on every reservation running perfectly, you need a support team that picks up the phone — not a chatbot. 

Our team is dedicated to helping larger professional property management companies thrive, offering a variety of tools and resources. Escapia pairs its platform with onboarding and implementation guidance, 1:1 training, self-service resources, and professional-services education. 

"Easy to use and set up! I have used many different reservation softwares and this is my favorite!" Mandi B., Rental Manager

The foundation for superior business performance

For business success, professional property managers need robust solutions. Escapia delivers with comprehensive features in key areas such as trust accounting, owner management, rates and pricing, guest communications, and reservation management. Lodgify targets independent vacation rental owners and small property managers with 2–20 properties who want automation without enterprise-level pricing — and that focus shows in the features. Escapia's battle-tested trust accounting software is the most reliable in the market, ensuring your accounting is exact, secure, and compliant with industry requirements — a capability Lodgify simply does not offer at the same depth. Say goodbye to the stress of balancing accounts that other systems bring, and hello to penny accurate owner statements.   

Escapia’s new Rates Manager allows you to optimize your pricing strategies effortlessly. With dynamic rate adjustments and real-time market data, you can maximize revenue and occupancy. Escapia's Rates Manager seamlessly incorporates first-party data from Vrbo to provide actionable Market Rates insights with AI, while other competitors like Lodgify operate off general market data, giving Escapia the Vrbo edge! 

Escapia also offers the most comprehensive Owner Portal in the vacation rental industry, keeping your property owners informed and satisfied. Most competing software systems don’t offer owner management tools, or their tools don't offer as much functionality as Escapia. With real-time calendar updates, financial statements, performance reports, and more, our portal enhances transparency and trust. Lodgify's owner management capabilities are limited and designed for an owner-operator model — not for professional PMs who manage properties on behalf of dozens of owners and need robust owner-facing reporting and financial statements. Automating these updates reduces the burden on your staff, helps with owner retention, and allows you to focus on growing your business.
