• Your bill counts rented units or rooms and room-type/booking-site links. Ask for a quote for a mixed set of properties. We could not confirm a property limit.

• Both plans target 50+ units or rooms. The $350 monthly minimum covers the first 50. Ask whether smaller accounts qualify. We could not confirm a firm minimum or maximum account size.

• No contract, minimum term or setup fees. The calculator starts at €12.90, plus €2.60/room and €0.55/room-type/booking-site link. A room is not always a whole property.
