Airbnb Smart Pricing vs AirDNA Adapt vs Beyond Dynamic Pricing

• Smart Pricing changes nightly prices. It uses demand for your listing and the local area.

• Price Sync sends prices and minimum stays each day. Use Sync now to send them at once.

• Prices go out each day to your linked booking sites or rental software.

• You set the lowest and highest prices. Discounts can make the guest’s price lower than your minimum.

• Set the lowest and highest nightly price with Pricing Limits.

• The API lists a base price and limits for the lowest and highest price.

• Set price rules for seasons, days of the week and events.

• Growth has tools for seasonal trends and events with low demand. Their names are Seasonal Pacing and Low Demand Event Detection.

• The four strategies use past data for the listing and local market data. They are Smart Yield, Premium Hold, Volume Builder and Steady Earner. We could not confirm a rule you can set based on how full your calendar is.

• Growth includes Availability Yielding for pricing. You can also change prices yourself with Dynamic Overrides.

• Early-bird and other discounts work with Smart Pricing. We could not confirm a custom automatic last-minute price rule.

• Rules change prices as check-in gets closer. Separate rules cover dates further away.

• Growth has a last-minute discount tool called Dynamic Time Based Adjustments.

• Discount gaps between bookings and change prices for nearby nights.

• Growth and the API list Gap Price Adjustments.

• Set minimum stays for all dates, certain weekdays or how far ahead a guest books.

• You can set minimum-stay rules. Which rules reach the booking site depends on the connection.

• Your own nightly prices replace Smart Pricing on chosen dates. Smart Pricing can stay on for other dates.

• Set prices for chosen nights. If you switch strategies, its preset rules replace yours.

• Growth has Dynamic Overrides and controls to change prices.

• This is an Airbnb tool. We could not confirm separate updates to Vrbo or Booking.com.

• Connect Airbnb directly. Vrbo and Booking.com need supported property-management software. Airbnb Length of Stay pricing and Rate Plans do not support Price Sync.

• Beyond lists direct links to Airbnb and Vrbo. It also lists links to rental software.

• These four links are listed. Other links are requests for future support, not confirmed options.

• Guides cover Guesty, Guesty for Hosts, Hospitable, Lodgify and OwnerRez. Check what your link needs to work.

• Each listing can send prices daily or when you click Sync now. The Americas update runs at 12:00 UTC. Turning updates on does not send prices at once. Turning them off leaves the last prices in place.

• Prices change each day. The time they are sent may depend on your link.

• Smart Pricing uses hundreds of facts about listings and the local area. You cannot download these as a separate data product.

• AirDNA says it combines data from Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com without counting the same listing twice. The size and accuracy of its data are vendor claims.

Details: Growth; Pro for advanced comp sets

• Growth includes past market data. Pro adds Advanced Competitive Sets and search data.

• The Adapt plan lists reports of past results. You can compare these with listings you choose.

Plan: Growth; Pro

• Growth offers reports you can download. Pro adds Owner Reporting.

Details: Beyond Pro trial or plan

• Personal access tokens need an active Beyond Pro trial or plan. They use the linked account’s permissions. Tokens stop working when Pro access ends.

Details: Standalone Adapt; Host bundle terms

• We do not know the listing limit for Adapt alone. The Host bundle lets five listings send prices. That limit is for the Host bundle, not Adapt on its own.

• We could not confirm a firm listing limit. Performance is for large managers, but that is not a hard cap.

• Open Calendar, then Price settings to turn it on. The guide does not list a separate plan price.

Plan: Adapt

• The Adapt plan lists $20/month/listing. The older FAQ discusses past Host plans and future prices. Do not use yearly research-plan discounts to estimate Adapt prices.

• The guide lists Growth at 1%, Pro at 1.25% and Performance at 2%. Negotiated contracts and Guidance can change the terms.

• If a listing sends prices during the month, you pay for the full period. Listings that have never sent prices stay free.

• Default Pay on Book costs 1%. Optional Pay on Stay costs 1.49%. The fee applies to nightly prices and host fees, such as cleaning. Deposits and tax are usually excluded, with some payout exceptions. Ask if Pro can be combined with Pay on Stay.

• The plan lists a 30-day trial. The help guide says it starts when you first turn on price updates.

• New accounts get setup credit. Contract customers have separate rules for who qualifies. Check terms for credits when bookings cancel or you leave. Without a contract, remove or turn off all listings to end service. You still owe fees already charged. The final Pay on Stay bill includes future stays booked earlier. Those fees are not refunded if the stays later cancel.
