One is a property management system. The other verifies that your turnover actually got done. Most hosts using Guesty pair it with listo rather than choosing between them.
Guesty is a property management system (PMS) covering channel management across Airbnb, Vrbo, and Booking.com, reservation handling, unified inbox, payments, automation, and reporting. It runs the booking side of the business.
listo is a photo-verified turnover app. Hosts and co-hosts build room-by-room checklists with reference photos; team members complete each item with a verification photo; the host reviews the entire turnover remotely in roughly two minutes before the next check-in.
If you are choosing one tool to run reservations across channels, you need Guesty (or another PMS). If your problem is "the cleaner said the room was ready and it wasn't," you need listo. The two are not substitutes for each other.

Hosts running Guesty for the booking funnel almost always need something to verify the turnover. Guesty's task module assigns who does the job; listo verifies the job was actually done correctly, photo by photo, against the reference. The two run independently and do not require integration for most workflows.
Not really — they solve different problems. Guesty is a property management system (PMS) covering channel management, reservations, guest messaging, payments, and automation. listo is a photo-verified turnover checklist app. Hosts on Guesty often use listo alongside it to handle the turnover-verification gap that PMSs do not address natively.
Guesty's pricing is by quote and tiered (Guesty for Hosts vs Guesty Pro), typically scaling from around 2 to 4 percent of booking revenue plus per-listing minimums. listo uses simple per-property pricing on a flat monthly basis with no booking-revenue component. For a small portfolio with high average daily rates, listo's flat model is usually meaningfully cheaper for the turnover-verification job.
Guesty offers task management and integrations with cleaning tools, but it does not enforce a reference-photo-per-checklist-item workflow. Hosts using Guesty for reservations frequently bolt on a separate photo verification tool such as listo to close that gap.
Yes. The common pattern is Guesty for the booking funnel (channel sync, messages, payments) and listo for the turnover (room-by-room photo checklists, remote review, team-member language localization). The two run on independent data; no integration is required for most hosts.
Guesty for Hosts is the lighter-weight tier targeted at single-property and small-portfolio hosts. Guesty Pro is the full-featured platform for property managers. Either tier pairs cleanly with listo on the turnover side, because the photo-verification workflow is independent of the PMS tier.
An integration is on the roadmap. Today the two work side by side without one: hosts use Guesty for booking ops and listo for turnover verification on each reservation.
