Comparison
Lobbix vs Little Hotelier
Both are made for small properties. Lobbix goes further into the operation — real billing, outlets, a night audit, more than one property — without asking a six-room B&B to care about any of it.
Side by side
Side by side
| Lobbix | Little Hotelier | |
|---|---|---|
| Billing depth | Split folios, city ledger, deposits, credit notes, corporate accounts and tax that computes itself. | Focused on taking payments simply. |
| POS | Built in. The bar and restaurant post straight to the room. | Not a focus of the product. |
| Night audit | Automatic. Closes and locks the business day. | A lighter day-close model. |
| More than one property | Included — 3 on Pro, unlimited on Enterprise, reported together. | Built around a single property. |
| Room count it suits | 1 to 100+, hostels and small groups included. | Small properties and B&Bs. |
| Run it on your own server | Yes. A full on-premise install. | Cloud-hosted. |
| Best fit | Small properties that intend to grow, or that need billing to be exact. | The smallest properties that want the least possible software. |

Where Lobbix stands
Lobbix starts where a small property’s operation actually gets complicated: a corporate guest whose company pays for the room but not the minibar, a bar that posts to the room, city tax that has to be right, a day that has to close and stay closed. All of it is in the $29 plan, and none of it is in your way until you use it.
And when the second property arrives, it is a setting rather than a second subscription and a second login.
When the other one is the better choice
Little Hotelier does small-property simplicity well. For a six-room B&B that takes card payments and nothing else, that is a feature, not a limitation — you should not pay in complexity for depth you will never use.
Frequently asked questions
Is Lobbix harder to use?
The day-to-day is the same shape — a calendar, an arrivals board, a housekeeping checklist. There is more underneath, but modules you do not switch on stay out of sight.
What does it cost?
Published flat plans from $29 a month, including the billing depth, the POS and the night audit. Both products sit in the small-property band, so compare against Little Hotelier’s current price for your size.
When is Little Hotelier the better choice?
The very smallest properties with simple billing, no outlets and no plans to grow. Simplicity you can actually feel is worth something.
