Pros
- Breezeway’s inventory management tool is especially helpful with ensuring you don’t run out of consumable products: toiletries, trash bags, light bulbs, batteries, etc. Anything you use can be tracked.
- Breezeway integrates with most of the leading property management systems.
- Intuitive and user-friendly app and website.
- It’s nice that the guest messaging feature is an add-on because users may already have other products in their tech stack they utilize for messaging. It’s there if you need it, but you don’t have to pay for it if you don’t need it.
Cons
- Some have reported that the mobile app used by cleaning and maintenance teams in the field can run slowly at times. Breezeway has built a way for team members to download their tasks and work offline, but it is important you train your teams how to use this feature.
- Don’t get carried away! Users of Breezeway, and similar other platforms, should be careful not to create overwhelming cleaning and maintenance checklists for their teams. There are so many options for task creation, requiring photos, etc. that it is easy to get carried away and create checklists with hundreds of items.

Pros
- Save an average of 50 hours every month in back of house labor. No more ordering, managing or kitting amenties.
- Create a consistent and elevated experience across your portfolio that both guests and owners will love.
- Make your brand the hero. Drive more direct bookings with custom-branded amenities and gifts in every room of the home.
- Offers 15% off for your first order and a free 7-day trial.
- Free shipping for all shipments over $25.
- Offer private labeling of amenities for no extra fees or costs for companies with more than 75 units.
- Integrates with leading property management and property care software to know what amenities you need and when.
- Offers curated amenity packages.
Cons
- Currently, sojo only puts small 1-3oz single-use shampoo and conditioner in each bathroom kit box. This might not be enough product for a guest with a longer stay or a bathroom that will have multiple guests using it.
- 12-month service agreement is required for new customers.
OwnerRez3.
User Review
( votes)
Pros
- Users can get started with no setup fees.
- OwnerRez is a great value with a robust set of features that will work for users with only a couple of properties up to those who manage an extensive portfolio.
- OwnerRez has historically been a stable and reliable platform.
- No extra fees are charged for additional users.
- OwnerRez websites practically build themselves and are great for folks who don’t have the time or inclination to have a stand-alone custom site built.
- OwnerRez frequently rolls out new features, integration partners, and updates. They are committed to continually improving their platform and listening to their users needs.
- There is an Unofficial OwnerRez Facebook page full of helpful people who are happy to answer questions. Sometimes this is faster than utilizing customer support.
Cons
- There is a fairly steep learning curve to setting up and learning OwnerRez that intimidates some people, and it isn't as intuitive as other platforms. Once users become familiar with the software this is typically no longer an issue. If you are easily overwhelmed by technology consider taking advantage of the ProConnect service.
- Some may consider that it doesn’t have a dedicated mobile app as a disadvantage. Others would say that’s not an issue since the site is responsive and can be saved to your screen like an app.
- OwnerRez currently does not have cleaning or maintenance task management features.
- Some features, such as the property management module, hosted websites, Quickbook integrations, SMS messaging, and door lock code generation require an additional fee.
- Currently, the telephone support number goes to voicemail and directs you to leave a message or send an email. It can take 24 hours to receive a reply, but the support is very thorough and will check back to be sure your issue has been resolved.
Hosthub4.
User Review
( votes)
Pros
- With access to over 200 OTAs (booking channels) Hosthub is a leading channel managers.
- The Revenue Builder is a huge time saver. People who would rather outsource connecting their listing to other OTAs will find tremendous value here. It probably only takes one booking from a new platform to recoup the $75 fee.
- The websites they build are yours forever and won't be lost if you switch companies.
Cons
- PMS offers basic functionality, but most hosts will need to utilize integrations to add needed features.
- It would be great if the guest messaging feature included SMS.
Guesty5.
User Review
( votes)
Pros
- In the crowded field of property management software Guesty is positioning itself as a leader and is continuing to add features and functionality.
- Wide range of integrations to fill in any feature gaps.
- The Guesty mobile app has good ratings.
- With Guesty for Hosts and Guesty Pro, they can continue to support hosts as they grow and scale their business.
Cons
- Must subscribe to Guesty Pro to have access to the full range of features.
- Customer support is only available via the knowledge database, or email ticketing system.
- Each third party integration will cost you an additional fee on top of the monthly fee for Guesty.
- Migration from Guesty for Hosts to Guesty for Pros is similar to switching to an entirely new PMS. It would be great to see the handoff from one to the other improved.

- Hosts with only one or two properties should know that Hostaway has a minimum monthly subscription price.
- Smart lock code generation is an additional fee per device.
- The mobile app is helpful, stable, and updated frequently, but does not include all the functionality of the full Hostaway website. The full Hostaway website is not mobile responsive and can make it difficult to accomplish certain tasks on the go.
- SMS notification of team members of new or modified tasks is currently available.

Pros
- A time-saving solution for busy property managers who want to focus on other aspects of their business and outsource or automate accounting duties.
- VRPlatform's API captures rich data, providing more reliable and up-to-date information compared to manual workflows.
- Consulting services are available to assist with accounting software selection and setup.
Cons
- Emphasizes the use of Quickbooks, and Sage Intacct. Both of which are great platforms, but some may prefer to use other accounting solutions.
- An enterprise level solution that is not likely to be a good fit for individual owners with smaller portfolios.
Quickbooks Online9.
User Review
( votes)
Pros
- Most US accountants and bookkeepers are very familiar with Quickbooks. There is an advantage to using a platform your financial professionals are proficient with. If you plan to hire a bookkeeper, this may be the platform he/she prefers.
- Integrates with many property management software platforms
- Robust feature set.
- Strong mobile app with lots of features.
Cons
- One of the most expensive options.

User Review

- Affordable pricing is based on the number of active units.

- Customer support is free.
- 1st to 14th days free trial
Cons

- Less well-known by bookkeepers and accounting professionals than some other platforms.
- A mobile app is currently unavailable. This would be helpful for on the go receipt capturing. A work around is possible by logging in the website from your mobile device.
Bill.com11.
BILL is a leading provider of cloud-based software that simplifies, digitizes, and automates back-office financial processes for small and mid-sized businesses. Our customers come from all industries, ranging from startups to established brands and nonprofits to franchises.
User Review
( votes)
Pros
- Bill.com has the potential to be a great resource for STR professionals who need to streamline operations and pass off some accounting duties to VAs or team members. Property managers can delegate bill management and payment duties but maintain supervision and approval of payments.
- Reduces the time spent managing and paying bills.
- Integates with Quickbooks, Xero, Sage, Oracle NetSuite, and Microsoft Dynamics.
- Allows you to manage bills for multiple entities from one dashboard.
Cons
- Bill.com is not a full-feature accounting solution. Users will still need to have an accounting solution that works alongside Bill.com.
- Owners with a small portfolio may not be able to justify the subscription expense.
Booking Trust12.

Designed specifically for Short-Term Holiday Accommodation, BookingTrust ensures transactional transparency and accuracy across all areas of the business, from deposits and cancellations to all the extra charges in between.

User Review
( votes)
Pros
- Property managers have a legal responsibility to properly account for reservation funds. Booking Trust is a great option for PMs who want software to ensure compliance.
- Booking Trust is also a great solution for PMs who'd prefer to outsource account management entirely.
- Booking Trust serves customers world wide.
Cons
- They may not yet integrate with your property management software. If that is the case, they recommend you reach out to see if a solution can be found.
Stessa13.

Free to get started, upgrade at any time to unlock advanced tools.
User Review
( votes)
Pros
- 100% Free Essentials plan.
- Designed specifically for owners of residential rental properties.
- Simplifies the tracking of net operating income, net cash flow, and effective cap rate.
- Mobile app with easy receipt capture.
Cons
- Only available in the United States
- Not a true double-entry accounting platform. This shouldn't be an issue for people who use Stessa to track the accounting of their own portfolio, but should be taken into consideration by property managers.
- Certain features are not available with the Essentials plan.
KeyData14.
Key Data is a portfolio and market analytics tool for data driven short-term vacation rental hosts and property managers. Portfolio analytics features allow property managers to look at key performance indicators for various aspects of the units they manage. The market analytics tools gather anonymized booking and rate data from the property management systems Key Data integrates with. This host-based data is real-time, forward looking, and rich in actionable information to help hosts and property managers make decisions about many aspects of their business.
User Review
( votes)
Pros
- The Key Data information is nearly real-time
- The data is gathered directly from hosts and property managers via their PMS, as opposed to being data scrapped from OTA platforms.
- The Demand IQ and Trip IQ features are unique to KeyData and could be invaluable for property managers looking to plug any holes in their revenue bucket.
- The on-demand webinars and tutorial videos are great resources for busy users.
- The knowledge library has lots of well-written and in-depth information, which is helpful when you need answers to your questions after hours, or don't have time to wait for an email reply to your question.
- The easy-to-generate property performance reports simplify owner reporting and proposals for prospective owners.
Cons
- In the past, the fact that the ProData tool is only for managers of large portfolios created a gap in KeyData's offerings. Small portfolio owners/managers either had to pay the disproportionately high rate (relative to their portfolio size), or moved on to other market intelligence providers. The new HostData tool will make the powerful KeyData information available for hosts, co-hosts, and smaller PM at a price that makes sense.
- As with all market intelligence tools, the data collected is historical. This brings limitations when making projections about future revenue, occupancy, etc. due to unforeseen events which could happen in the future. Users should keep this in mind when making decisions for their business.
- There's a LOT of information available in the ProData tool. Users who are easily overwhelmed by technology may benefit by pacing themselves as they learn about KeyData features and seek to maximize its utilization.

Hospitable17.
User Review
( votes)
Pros
- 14 day free trial.
- Hospitable is intuitive and easy to set up. This draws a lot of users to Hospitable.
- Guest messaging is reliable, and sends messages to Airbnb, VRBO, and Booking.com guests through their OTA messaging platforms. There are many hosts who use Hospitable strictly for their messaging feature and manage other aspects of their business through another PMS they run parallel to Hospitable.
- The Bad Guest Review Feature: This feature lets hosts write a bad review for poor guests that is automatically posted 20 seconds before the review window expires. As a result, hosts can write an honest review without worrying about a retaliatory review from the guest.
- Hospitable is in a growth and innovation phase and have been adding new features and integrations quickly.
Cons
- Property managers might not find all the features they require.
- The direct booking website feature is a subscription add-on.
- Limited integration partners by comparison with other PMS. *iCal calendar can be exported to connect with additional STR-related companies.
- Hospitable users will need to manage listing description, photos, and details for Airbnb, VRBO and Booking.com through each platform individually instead of only through Hospitable. This can be tedious if you are connected to Airbnb, VRBO, and Booking.com because you will have to update the information in three places instead of one.

CiiRUS19.
User Review
( votes)
Pros
- One of the most complete built-in feature sets of PMS platforms currently available. Third party integrations are available, but less necessary.
- Using the built-in digital guest guide would save the cost of a third party integration.
- Using the built-in property care tool would save the cost of a third part integration.
- Marketing, SEO, and distribution tools can help managers get more bookings.
- The wholesale distribution feature allows listings to be found on sites it can be difficult to gain access to.
Cons
- Not available for owners with less than 5 properties.
- Because of the CiiRUS platform's robustness, new users should expect a learning curve.
- CiiRUS+ features are not available without an additional fee.
- On-platform messaging is currently only available for Airbnb.
Airtasker20.
User Review
( votes)
Pros
- A fast way to find help for a wide range of projects including: furniture assembly, cleaning, maintenance, painting, marketing tasks, photography, wallpapering, etc. The possibilities are almost endless.
- Airtasker holds the task payment in escrow until the task has been completed to the customer's satisfaction.
Cons
- Airtasker is a relatively new platform and there might not be many "Taskers" (professionals who have joined the Airtasker platform) in your area.
- Just like guests take a risk staying at properties without many reviews, customers are taking a bit of a risk if they use a Tasker with a limited number of reviews.
- Invoices are not provided automatically. Taskers are independent contractors, so you’ll have to request an invoice from them directly for your records and tax purposes.

Wheelhouse25.
User Review
( votes)
Pros
- Wheelhouse offers 24/7 live chat, with an average response time of 70 seconds, for every inbound question.
- Wheelhouse's portfolio page allows managers with 10+ properties to quickly manage their inventory pricing.
- Hybrid pricing incorporates the predictability of rule-based pricing (setting a flat, unchanging rate for your listing) with the increased revenue of data-driven pricing (using algorithms and AI to recommend pricing).
- Users set a base rate and rules for price adjustments as desired (seasons and days of the week, etc.). Then AI data-driven pricing is layered on top of the rules to create a hybrid pricing strategy for your listings.
- Users who prefer to be actively involved in the pricing of their listings may prefer this hybrid approach.
- Free trial, no credit card needed.
- Users can choose to be billed on a flat monthly fee per listing or a percentage of revenue per listing.
- Market Reports and Competitive Set features are included in the monthly fee.
Cons
- Check that Wheelhouse integrates with the property management software you use.
- Wheelhouse is a robust platform designed for property management companies. Small operators should consider whether it is truly a good fit for their business.

User Review
( votes)

- The review aggregation feature is a great way to keep tabs on the reviews other listings in your market have received. Knowing what stood out to their guests can inform your business decisions.
- The revenue proposals are particularly helpful for property managers when prospecting for new owners.
- Transparent can be used for any market in the world.
- Transparent has a surprisingly good blog on its site where they write about market insights and trends.
Cons
- The Smart Data Free product has limited information and isn't as helpful as other free offerings by some of the dynamic pricing tool companies.
- As with all market intelligence tools, the data collected is historical. This creates limitations when making projections about future revenue, occupancy, etc. due to unforeseen events which could happen in the future. Users should keep this in mind when making decisions for their business.

Summary
STR Insights helps short-term rental investors find their next short-term rental property. Users utilize a variety of filters to discover top vacation rental markets across the country by potential gross ROI.
Pros
- A STRINSIGHTS subscription lets you research markets in the entire United States. Other market intelligence companies have users subscribe to each market individually, or charge a much higher price to research the entire United States. This makes STR Insights a great value.
- An easy-to-use interface.
- Being able to search by destination type is a fabulous feature when you have no clue where to start your market research other than knowing you want a property near a beach, mountains, National Park, etc.
- The results of searches are easy to understand and digest.
- It’s convenient to connect with realtors and lenders who know about the unique needs of STR investors.
- STR Insights provides pricing valuation data, this valuation has filtered to only include short term rental properties and exclude other types of homes. That is very powerful.
- Regulation data – It’s very helpful to have a high level sense of the regulatory environment of different markets. It’s can be a key decision making criteria for some STR investors.
- STR Insights is a new company with a strong roadmap. It will be great to see how the company evolves and the new features they launch.
Cons
- It’s important to understand that the ROI estimates are based on historical information. Individual markets, or the broader STR industry, may experience events that change the ROI potential of a particular property.
- When you have access to search the entire US you may find an overwhelming number of potential markets to consider. Utilizing the filtering features is critical.
- Currently the pricing valuations don’t break out valuation of different property types (entire home, condo, multi-family, etc).
- STR Insights only provides data for the US, eventually it would be great if users could search globally.

They’ve custom penned one of the most comprehensive policies on the market and offer protection for your property, income, host liability, amenity liability (bikes, kayaks, hot tubs, etc.), theft, vandalism, bed bugs, and more. They even have coverage for issues with SQUATTERS!
User Review
( votes)
Pros
- At Proper, they have what’s called in-house claims administration, which means they administer the claim from start to finish themselves and do not use a third-party administrator. The Proper Insurance Claims Department strives to create a seamless experience and get checks issued as soon as possible, as their sole interest is with the insured.
- Proper is a cover holder for Lloyd's of London; this means that insurance policies written and bound by Proper also carry the backing of Lloyd's of London. Be aware that Proper manages claims as opposed to Lloyd's of London.
- Proper has an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau.
- Proper was specifically created to serve the needs of short-term vacation rental property owners.
- Proper will make a free policy comparison.
Cons
- Proper strives to provide ‘best in class" coverage for your business, which can come at a cost. As a vacation rental owner, you are a business owner; therefore, you need business insurance which can come at a higher cost than a regular homeowners policy. Be sure to read the details of the insurance quotes you receive from other companies and compare the coverages and exclusions.
- The language of Proper policies could be written in a more customer-friendly manner. Compared to other companies we’ve reviewed, Proper’s policies can be especially wordy.

HostGPO47.
User Review
( votes)
Pros
- HostGPO discounts apply to nearly all items from each vendor, not just certain styles or SKUs.
- HostGPO has guaranteed best pricing and deeper discounts.
- Curated brands that are hospitality optimized, including wholesalers not generally available to consumers.
- With some vendors you can shop directly through the HostGPO portal, which is quick and easy.
- Though the exact discount amounts can't be disclosed here, some vendors have generous discounts.
- Sometimes the discounts can be taken on top of sale prices.
Cons
- HostGPO has a membership fee. If you aren't planning to make any purchases in a year, it may not justify the membership cost. But with the membership guarantee, if you don't save more than the cost of your membership fee HostGPO will refund you the difference.

WYND Sentry49.
WYND Sentry is a smoke and noise monitoring solution for vacation rental properties. It monitors not only noise, but also recreational smoke (cigarettes and marijuana). The Sentry system is sophisticated enough to distinguish between recreational smoke and other types of harmful smoke such as smoke from cooking. It also generates incident reports to assist with submitting smoke mitigation claims.
User Review
( votes)
Pros
- The Sentry device is free, customers only pay a reoccurring subscription per device.
- Currently, WYND Sentry is the only noise monitoring solution that also detects smoke.
- It is also the only company that currently provides incident reports. The incident reports provide specific documentation of the time periods smoke was detected and the amount of smoke detected (in parts per million). This report eliminates the 'he said, she said' exchange between hosts and guests by providing concrete evidence of smoking.
- The unit has an internal backup battery that lasts 48 hours. This eliminates the concern that guests could unplug the unit and avoid noise or smoke detection during a party.
- Built-in tampering detection: The unit sends a push notification to the owner if the power or internet is disconnected.
Cons
- WYND Sentry is a new player in the noise monitoring space. Currently, it does not have integrations with any property management software companies, or smart home solutions.
- It's more of an FYI than a con, but each WYND Sentry unit can monitor smoke for a space up to 400 sq ft. It is recommended to get units to cover high traffic common areas like living rooms and kitchens. If desired, a unit can also be placed in halls to detect smoke from adjacent rooms. Each unit is an individual subscription.

Wister100.
Wister is a hospitality insurance company that is a division of the Proper Insurance company. Property managers and co-hosts have liability exposure for the properties they manage. Wister can offer hospitality policies to protect your business from these risks.
User Review
( votes)
Pros
- Wister policies provide commercial-level liability and insurance coverage for property managers' and co-hosts' unique needs.
- Wister policies are not one-size-fits-all. They can customize policies to fit your business’s needs.
- They also write policies for bed and breakfasts and boutique hotels, events, etc.
Cons
- Wister policies may be overkill for co-hosts and property managers who only have a small portfolio and don't have any employees, or office space. Still, a Wister policy may still make sense strictly from a liability protection position. It's worth getting a quote to see if it would be a good fit for your business or not.

Pros
- Jurny is in a phase of rapid innovation and is rolling out new features such as the Nia AI rapidly.

Cons
- In exchange for the built-in tech stack it offers, Jurny users give up flexibility to use certain third-party solutions for pricing, guest vetting, property care and maintenance, etc.

- As with all market intelligence tools, the data collected is historical. This creates limitations when making projections about future revenue, occupancy, etc. due to unforeseen events which could happen in the future. Users should keep this in mind when making decisions for their businesses.
