Airbnb Smart Pricing vs AirDNA Adapt vs Hospitable 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.

• Hospitable changes your base price using market data. It suggests prices up to 24 months ahead.

• 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.

• Prices start within the limits you set. Later discounts, offers or price increases can take the guest’s final price outside them.

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

• Prices change with local events and the time of year. The day of the week, demand and rules also matter.

• 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.

• Prices use local booking patterns. We could not confirm a custom rule based on how full your calendar is.

• 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.

• Unbooked dates within a month can get larger discounts as check-in nears.

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

Details: Host, Professional, Mogul; Essentials stay-rule scope needs checking

• Change prices for gaps between bookings. You can also allow shorter stays in those gaps.

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

Plan: Host, Professional, Mogul

• Host, Professional and Mogul have Dynamic Minimum Night Stays. This changes the shortest stay guests can book. Legal rules and your own date edits come first.

• 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.

• Your own date prices can replace the tool’s prices. Turning the tool off brings back the earlier 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.

• Prices go through Hospitable’s booking-site links. The site’s limits and discounts still apply.

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

• This is built into Hospitable. It is not a separate link to other rental software.

• 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.

• The first prices and setup changes go out at once. Prices then update on booking sites every 24 hours.

• 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.

• Prices use facts about the home, similar listings, demand and when guests book. We could not confirm a screen showing nearby rivals’ data.

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

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.

• Essentials, Professional and Mogul list unlimited properties, with billing rules. Host supports up to two properties.

• 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.

Plan: Essentials / Host / Professional / Mogul

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

Plan: Essentials / Host / Professional / Mogul

• Monthly base fees: Host $29, Professional $59 and Mogul $99. They include 1, 2 and 3 properties, respectively.
• Extra active properties cost $10 on Host, $15 on Professional and $30 on Mogul. Host allows up to 2 properties.

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

• The account’s pricing trial starts when you first turn it on. It keeps running if you turn pricing off. Confirmed bookings count even if later cancelled.
