Compare tools that set nightly prices — AirDNA Adapt vs Rategenie vs Wheelhouse Dynamic Pricing

Start with the software that sends prices to your booking sites. Check the supported connection and the rules it can pass through. Then review minimum stays, manual changes and fees. Keep one clear source for your rates so two tools do not work against each other.

AirDNA Adapt: what to consider

Check that your software link is supported. Changing the pricing strategy resets its rules to the defaults for that strategy. Check those rules before you apply the change. Read the AirDNA Adapt profile for its plans and requirements.

Rategenie: what to consider

Check the supported link and how custom rate rules work. Connection guides do not prove that you can build your own API link. Check tax and yearly billing terms before adding up the cost. Read the Rategenie profile for its plans and requirements.

Wheelhouse Dynamic Pricing: what to consider

Check the channels and limits for your link. Ask about access before planning a custom API link. Compare billing choices and what happens to fees when guests cancel. Read the Wheelhouse Dynamic Pricing profile for its plans and requirements.

Explore all dynamic pricing options, how pricing tools connect to your booking software, when to set rates by hand to continue your shortlist.

Common questions

What should I check before syncing one of these tools?

Confirm the exact connection and which fields it changes. Decide which existing pricing rules or tools to turn off, then inspect a few dates on the booking channel after the first sync. Seeing suggested rates in a dashboard does not prove they are live.

How should I test price limits in AirDNA Adapt, Rategenie and Wheelhouse Dynamic Pricing?

Check a normal date, a holiday and a short gap between stays. Look at discounts and minimum stays, not just the nightly rate. A suggested price does not show whether a guest can book those dates or what the price is after discounts.

Does turning off AirDNA Adapt restore my old prices?

No. Turning off Price Sync stops new updates but leaves the current rates on the booking site. Check those rates and change them if needed. Turning sync off does not bring back your old prices.

Can Rategenie use my own daily rates instead of generating them?

Yes. Its Custom Feed Strategy can use your daily rates from a spreadsheet file (CSV) or a public feed link. Check the file format and setup first. This differs from asking the pricing tool to choose rates for you.

Which Wheelhouse minimum-price rule wins when several apply?

For normal minimum-price rules, a rule for set dates wins. Next come time-based, monthly, weekday and default rules, in that order. Absolute Minimum Price is a separate lower limit. Check both if a date’s minimum looks wrong. Discounts on the booking site need their own check.
