Lodgic is an all-in-one property management and bookkeeping platform built specifically for short-term rental hosts. It combines property tracking, financial management, contractor coordination, and AI-powered receipt scanning into a single app so you can stop juggling multiple tools and spreadsheets.

Absolutely not. Lodgic is designed for hosts, not accountants. We use plain language, pre-built IRS categories mapped to Schedule E, and guided monthly book closing. If you can log an expense on your phone, you can use Lodgic.

Yes. Lodgic offers a free plan forever with bookkeeping for 1 property. No credit card required. When you’re ready for more properties or management features, upgrade to a paid plan. Your data carries over seamlessly.

Definitely. Our free plan is designed exactly for you: full bookkeeping for one property at no cost. Upgrade to Starter when you add more properties.

Lodgic expense categories map directly to IRS Schedule E line items, the form you file for rental property income. This means when tax season arrives, your data is already organized exactly the way your CPA or TurboTax needs it. No re-categorizing or guessing which line an expense belongs on.

Take a photo of any receipt with your phone. Our AI extracts the vendor name, amount, date, and suggests the appropriate IRS category, all in seconds. You review, confirm, and the expense is logged. No more shoeboxes of paper receipts or manual data entry.
