Airbnb Smart Pricing vs Hospitable Dynamic Pricing vs Rategenie

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

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

• 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.

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

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

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

• Use Seasonal Rule for seasons. Hold Events and Genie Strategy are listed for event-based prices.

• 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.

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

• 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.

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.

• Minimum Nights Rule sets stays by weekday. Manual, gap, date, last-minute, season and advance-booking rules follow a set order. Check which rule takes priority.

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