VacayDirect vs Boostly
Done-for-you, without the project.
Boostly builds direct booking websites for hosts and has taught a lot of people why direct matters. We differ on how the work is delivered and what happens after launch.
The short answer
Boostly is a UK-based company that builds done-for-you direct booking websites for hospitality businesses on WordPress, alongside training and a host community. VacayDirect is also done-for-you, delivered as a flat monthly subscription with no setup fee, on a modern standalone codebase, with AI-produced local content published every week after launch.

Questions
What owners ask us
Is VacayDirect available outside the US?
Yes. The service is remote and works with any booking system that offers a widget or booking link.
Why not WordPress?
WordPress is capable, but it needs updates, plugins and security attention. A standalone site has far less to maintain and is typically much faster, which matters to both guests and search engines.
