Overview

Buoy is a dynamic pricing tool that aggregates vacation rental and hotel data. Users can quickly see occupancy metrics and confirmed bookings’ nightly rates for their competitors. Using this data, Buoy AI recommends a nightly rate they call the Buoyancy Point instead of setting a fixed base price.
