Hostify
Powerful PMS for Airbnb & Vacation Rental Managers
By Hostify · 3.4/5 Value-Position score (estimate)
Security caution: built with an AI app builder
Hostify’s public website shows signs of being built with Lovable: Lovable's hosting analytics script; images served from Lovable's asset paths.
Apps generated by AI builders have shipped with serious gaps. In 2025, a scan of 1,645 apps built with Lovable found 170 exposing their users’ data because database access rules were never switched on (CVE-2025-48757).
We found no SOC 2 or ISO 27001 attestation on Hostify’s public pages. That does not mean Hostify is insecure: we only see its marketing site, not the product, and the vendor may hold certifications it doesn’t publish. Before sharing company data, ask Hostify for a recent penetration test or a completed security questionnaire.
