Black Friday host software deals: what you’ll pay in year two

Several host software vendors are running Black Friday offers this month. The discounts are real, and they apply to your first payment period. What you pay after that is the regular price.

What we saw on 14 November 2026

Lodgify had cut Professional from $58 to $23 and Ultimate from $85 to $34, for the first 500 customers, ending 27 November.

Smoobu's yearly toggle showed discounts of 66% and 70% from a Black Friday code. Its own FAQ describes the usual yearly discount as 10%, and 20% for two years.

Four things to check before you pay

First, find out how long the discounted price lasts. A first-year price can renew at full price. Ask the vendor whether the deal price renews, and get the answer in writing.

Second, check whether the deal needs annual billing. A large discount on a year paid upfront still means paying for twelve months you may not use if you switch.

Third, compare regular prices too. A plan that is cheaper at full price may still cost less over two years than a discounted plan that renews higher. Our calculator shows regular prices side by side.

Fourth, count your listings. Some discounts apply to a set number of properties. If you'll add a listing next year, price the plan at that size.

Our view

A Black Friday deal on software you'd pick anyway is worth taking. Choosing software because of the deal is how hosts end up migrating a year later, and moving bookings, messages and reviews history between systems takes time.
