Compare direct booking sites
Hospitable is excellent automation software — and Haven connects natively to it. This page compares one feature: Hospitable Direct’s booking site versus Haven’s purpose-built direct booking platform.
Hospitable is one of the best-reviewed automation platforms in short-term rentals — its guest messaging and channel management are widely praised, and Book With Haven integrates natively with it. Many hosts run both: Hospitable for operations, Haven as the branded booking front door.
Hospitable Direct is Hospitable’s direct-booking feature. It is not sold standalone: based on publicly available information as of July 2026, it is included with Hospitable’s Professional and Mogul plans (not the free or entry tiers), and adds a per-booking service fee on direct bookings — 1% on Direct Basic, or 4% guest + 3% host (alternatively 7% host) on Direct Premium, which is also where guest verification and damage protection live.
Book With Haven is a purpose-built direct booking site and guest experience platform. It is free to build — you pay only when you publish — with 0% booking commission on every plan, and includes a digital guidebook that captures guest emails, a built-in guest CRM with smart remarketing, free guest screening with up to $50,000 damage protection via Truvi, multi-jurisdiction taxes, and localized pages in up to 5 languages. If you already use Hospitable, Haven connects to it — keep your automation and add a branded booking site without changing plans.
