Avalara MyLodgeTax for small portfolios (1–5 listings)
Hosts with 1–5 short-term rental listings looking for software that scales with them, not against them.
Our verdict for small portfolios (1–5 listings)
Consider alternatives
Per-property costs are prohibitive at 1–4 listings — $27/month each plus $299 setup per property.
What might bite you
- $299 setup fee per property is a steep upfront commitment for a small portfolio
- $54–$108/month in recurring costs before any volume discounts
- Platform is designed for operators with 5+ properties
Best-for-you alternatives at this size
- Stessa Great fit
Stessa's free Essentials plan with unlimited properties is ideal for solo investors tracking 1-5 rentals without paying per-listing fees.
From $0/mo • No free trial · Free accounting tool for solo real estate investors
- Clearing Okay fit — consider alternatives
If you're at 5-10 listings you'll pay the $25/mo floor and get automated bookkeeping, but you may not yet need the trust-accounting workflows that justify the platform.
From $25 • No free trial · Specialist bookkeeping for STR managers who actually need trust accounting
- Hostfully Bookkeeper Okay fit — consider alternatives
Workable if you have at least 4 listings, but the $129/mo minimum is steep for small portfolios needing only basic accounting.
From $129 • No free trial · Solid accounting layer if you're already on Hostfully's PMS
