Channels, messaging and expenses

Standard includes availability/rate synchronization, an inbox, automated messages and expense management. Hosthub states direct APIs to Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com and Expedia; this review does not verify a double-booking-prevention guarantee.

Pro features come with a percentage fee

Pro adds AI co-host, enhanced reports, priority support and customizable team roles; its 0.7% fee is based on total net bookings excluding fees/taxes processed through the platform monthly, added to fixed subscription.

Separate products and onboarding

The website builder, booking engine and Revenue Booster are separate offerings. All plans state free onboarding and a 14-day trial. Those statements do not make the separate products or third-party costs free.

Connections and setup

Vendor homepage advertises direct APIs to Airbnb/Vrbo/Booking.com/Expedia. Current technical help separately describes Vrbo hybrid API+iCal and slower PriceLabs rate propagation. Verify field-specific scope; no independent synchronization guarantee.

Ratings reflect retained public source snapshots and can change. Blended ratings use reported source counts as weighting proxies, not unique people or pooled individual reviews. Shared company review subjects are labeled and do not establish plan-specific reviews or feature parity. TrustScore uses Trustpilot’s proprietary algorithm. Known shared review pools are counted once; other overlap may remain. At the dataset snapshot date, observations older than 90 days are excluded.
