DPGO vs Hospitable Dynamic Pricing vs Rategenie

• DPGO says prices change each day based on market data.

• 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.

• Set a base price and limits for the lowest and highest prices.

• 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 seasons, local events and the day of the week.

• 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.

• DPGO uses how full competing listings are to help set prices. We could not confirm a rule based on how full your own properties are.

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

• Set percentage discounts and how close to check-in they apply.

• 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.

• Minimum-stay rules can allow gaps between bookings. We could not confirm an automatic price rule for those gaps.

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.

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

• Set minimum stays for all dates, weekdays or chosen dates. You can also use time-based rules.

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.

• Set your own prices and changes for chosen dates.

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

• Set your own daily prices with Custom Feed Strategy. You can copy rules or set them for chosen days.

• DPGO lists booking-site connections. Check each guide for which details a direct link can share.

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

• The partner list has booking sites, rental software and data firms. Some partners cannot receive price updates.

• Follow the guide to set up your link. OwnerRez gets prices. Other details shared depend on the link.

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

• Rategenie lists price-update links to these tools. You need an account with the connected service.

• DPGO advertises daily price updates. This is not a promise of uninterrupted service.

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

• The provider says prices update each day.

• See local market data, competing prices and bookings. You can also see how full listings are.

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

• Suggested base prices use similar listings. A chart shows average prices over 12 months.

• View growth results for listings and groups of properties. These reports do not promise future income.

• Export rental prices or work out a booking’s cost. We could not confirm tools to track income accounts.

• We could not confirm a maximum number of listings. A price per listing does not set an account limit.

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

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

• Flat costs $18/listing/month. Flexible costs 0.5% of the booked price. Fixed costs $1/booked night. Check which features Flat includes.

Plan: Essentials / Host / Professional / Mogul
