Airbnb Smart Pricing vs Beyond Dynamic Pricing vs Rategenie

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

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

• Rategenie says it sends prices to linked booking sites each day.

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

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

• Genie Strategy applies Min Rate and Max Rate after price-rule changes. These set the final lower and upper limits.

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

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

• Last Minute Adjustment Rule changes prices by a percentage and sets the shortest stay. These rules depend on how far ahead guests book. Save the strategy before it creates prices.

• Gap Night Adjustment Rule changes prices by a fixed amount or percentage. Minimum stays can depend on the gap’s length.

Details: Beyond Pro trial or plan

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

• Prices cover more than 1000 listings. This does not mean there is no account limit.

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

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

• US prices depend on your listing count and are billed each month. Other countries have their own prices.

• 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.

• 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.

• Rategenie offers a 15-day free trial. You do not need a card. You can cancel at any time.
