FieldStay vs EZCare
FieldStay is a short-term rental operations platform, like EZCare. The two biggest practical differences: FieldStay publishes one graduated price for any portfolio up to 150 properties with no demo required, and it adds automatic crew assignment, an offline-first crew app and link-based vendor work orders.
Every claim below cites where it comes from. See the note at the bottom of this section.
| Category | FieldStay | EZCare |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing model | FieldStayOne published graduated rate schedule, calculable to the dollar for any count from 1 to 150 properties. No sales call at any size. | EZCareNo price was found on the EZcare pages reviewed. The home and housekeeping pages link to a demo request, and no unit, tiers or free trial are stated. |
| Vendor work orders | FieldStayA vendor gets a link by text or email, opens it on their phone, and can view, quote, or complete the work order with no account and nothing to install. | EZCareEZcare describes a mobile app for staff and says to "invite your whole team". Whether a staff member or vendor needs an account and the native app was not independently confirmed. |
| Offline support | FieldStayThe crew app reads from local device storage as its normal mode, not a special "offline mode". Every checklist step, photo, and inventory count queues locally and syncs automatically once signal returns. A photo that fails to upload stays visible with a retry button. | EZCareOffline use is not stated on the EZcare pages reviewed, so no comparison is made. |
| Asset planning & CapEx forecasting | FieldStayEvery major appliance and system gets a health score that updates daily from its age and expected lifespan, rolled into a 10-year capital expenditure forecast automatically, feeding the capital planning page, the owner portal, and a CPA-ready CSV export. | EZCareEZcare's maintenance page says work order creation is automated and technicians are alerted, and describes a per-property record of make, model, installation date and warranty for appliances. Health scoring and capital forecasting were not independently confirmed. |
| Guest guidebook | FieldStayIncluded on every plan at no extra cost, and can pay for itself: every local business sponsor you sign into your guidebook takes a real $5/month off your bill automatically, from the first one. | EZCareA guest guidebook was not found on the EZcare pages reviewed. The housekeeping page lists staff and guest communication as a solution. |
| Bookkeeper and finance access | FieldStayA finance role that sees the bill, its itemized breakdown, and every vendor invoice, and nothing else: no properties, turnovers, crew or settings. Your bookkeeper does not need an admin seat to close the books. | EZCareEZcare's roles and permissions, including any finance-only role, were not independently confirmed on the pages reviewed, so no comparison is made. |
| PMS integrations | FieldStayConnects to OwnerRez, Hospitable, Hostex, Hostaway and Lodgify and builds the turnover schedule from existing bookings, with iCal calendar feeds for everything else. | EZCareEZcare's integrations page claims two-way integration with a long list of partners, including Streamline, Track, Escapia, Guesty, Hostfully, OwnerRez, Hostaway and Hospitable. |
FieldStay claims are verifiable against this product directly. EZCare information reflects EZCare's public website and help documentation, checked on or after 2026-10-14. Rows are re-checked one at a time, so some carry a later date than others. A competitor's pricing and features can change at any time, so verify current details on EZCare's website before deciding.
Here's what a 10-property portfolio costs on FieldStay today, with no demo required to find out.
For 10 properties, computed from the published graduated rate schedule. See it for your own count with the calculator on the pricing page.
No price was found on the EZcare pages reviewed; the call to action is a demo request (checked 2026-10-14). Pricing at any property count therefore starts with a conversation.
Try it risk-free
Run FieldStay on 3–5 of your most demanding properties for 14 days, the ones with spotty signal, tricky access, or vendors who barely answer texts. If it doesn't make your week easier, cancel with one click. No contract, no penalty.
Real, shipped FieldStay capabilities, not compared above because we couldn't independently confirm EZCare's equivalent one way or the other, and this page only makes claims it can back up.
Every checklist step, every photo, and every work order status change is timestamped and logged as it happens, including the ones your crew records with no signal at all. When an owner asks whether the house was ready, or a guest says something was missed, you open the property, pick the date, and read what happened.
One keystroke opens search from anywhere in the dashboard. Type a few words and it finds the work order by its title, its number or its description, in any status, completed and cancelled included, alongside the property and the vendor. "The thing about the water heater" is a search, not an afternoon of scrolling. Pick a property instead and you get its whole record by date.
Photos are shrunk on the phone before they are stored, so a full-resolution camera file cannot fill up the device mid-clean. If an upload fails, it queues and retries, and if it keeps failing your crew member sees it sitting there with a retry button instead of finding out weeks later that the proof was never there.
Ask a question in the app and the answer comes from something that can read your own setup, not a help article that assumes someone else's. Anything that needs a person, a billing dispute, a consent complaint, a safety issue, is handed to one instead of guessed at. There is no assigned account manager to wait on, because there is nothing queued behind one.
A secure, tokenized link for property owners, with no account and no login, showing revenue, expenses, and net income by period.
Par levels per property; a low-stock item is added to a purchase order automatically, with a one-click Kroger cart build.
The app walks your crew through the checklist step by step, and works with no signal. Your vendors don't need to download anything or remember a password. Every work order arrives as a link they open, quote, and complete from their phone.
The biggest practical differences are pricing transparency and scope. EZcare describes an integrated housekeeping, maintenance and inventory platform and directs visitors to a demo request, with no price shown on the pages reviewed. FieldStay publishes one graduated rate schedule that prices any portfolio from 1 to 150 properties with no sales call, and adds automatic crew assignment, link-based vendor work orders and an owner P&L portal.
It depends on your property count, and for EZCare the honest answer is that no price was found to compare against. For 10 properties, FieldStay is $118/month, publicly calculable from the rate schedule before you talk to anyone. EZcare's public pages direct visitors to a demo request, so a comparable figure requires a conversation with them.
There's no data migration to run, because FieldStay doesn't import FROM EZCare. It connects TO your booking platform (OwnerRez, Hospitable, Hostex, Hostaway, or Lodgify) and builds your turnover schedule from your existing bookings automatically. Most teams run FieldStay on a handful of properties during a free trial alongside their current setup before moving the rest of the portfolio over.
Both manage housekeeping and maintenance for vacation rentals. EZcare describes itself as an integrated housekeeping, maintenance and inventory platform with a mobile app, inspections and a long list of PMS integrations. FieldStay covers the same ground for short-term rentals and adds automatic crew assignment, an offline-first crew app, link-based vendor work orders, asset health scoring with capital forecasting, and an owner portal. EZcare publishes no price on the pages reviewed, so the practical first step with either product is to see it running on a few of your properties.
Connect your PMS and FieldStay builds your turnover schedule from your existing bookings. Fourteen days free, no credit card.
