Airbnb's host fee is jumping from ~3% to 15.5% starting September 15, and you're one account suspension away from zero income. STR Guru lists your rental on 20+ booking platforms, including those small operators normally can't access. One calendar, so you never double-book. One inbox for every guest message. The extra bookings typically earn far more than the $297/month fee.
Limited-time offer: our $300 professional onboarding is FREE for the next 25 clients. No percentage of your revenue, ever.
Vrbo, Booking.com, Google, Hopper, Whimstay and more, including channels small operators normally can't get on, plus a spot on the STR Guru direct-booking marketplace, where guests book your property with zero OTA service fees. More eyes. More bookings. Less dependence.
Every platform syncs to a single calendar automatically. A booking on Vrbo blocks Airbnb, Booking.com, and everywhere else, instantly. The double-book nightmare is off the table for good.
Messages from every platform land in one unified mailbox. Answering guests and inquiries becomes the easiest part of your day, nothing slips through.
Once you're on every platform, our pricing team goes to work: dynamic pricing and promotions managed by real humans, rates, minimum stays, gap nights, and event pricing adjusted continuously, not left to an algorithm. Big operators pay $60,000+ a year for this talent and software. For most hosts, the pricing lift alone covers the fee.
You get the same stack our own 70+ properties run on.
$297 a month.
Starting September 15, hosts pay Airbnb more than five times the service fee they used to, taking 15.5% out of every payout unless you actively raise your rates. Add guest-first policies and the ever-present risk of a suspension, and every host we talk to wants out of one-platform dependence. Most just don't know how without losing bookings.
We put your property everywhere travelers actually book, with one calendar and zero double bookings. Airbnb becomes one of your channels, instead of your landlord.

Bookings spread across channels
This isn't theory. Industry data on hosts who expanded beyond a single platform:
We don't answer your guests, we make answering effortless. Your guest relationship stays yours; we think that's exactly why independent hosts out-review the big managers.
Everything off your plate, except the two things you should never outsource:
your guests and your cleaners.
Every STR Guru property ships with the systems we built running our own 70+ rentals, refined over years of real guests, real disputes, and real damage claims.
Rules written to win. When a guest dispute happens, our battle-tested house rules, signed and acknowledged before check-in, put you in the winning position.
Third-party coverage protects your property against broken items, stains, pet damage, and more, the real-life stuff standard platforms won't cover.
Every guest provides ID and acknowledges your house rules before check-in, stopping parties and fraud at the door, not after the damage.
We collect and process credit cards for direct bookings and any platform that doesn't charge the guest, secure, compliant, and off your plate.
Check-in to checkout, sequences we've refined for years go out automatically, happier guests, more 5-star reviews, zero effort from you.
Our system reviews your guests for you after every stay, keeping your listings active and your review flow working without you thinking about it.
Detailed performance dashboards and reports, occupancy, revenue, booking sources, so you always know exactly how your listing is doing.
Add photos or change your listing in one place and it updates on every platform simultaneously, with AI to help draft guest messages. Hours saved, weekly.
Credit-card costs, platform fees, and processing charges that most hosts silently eat. We configure your pricing to recover them instead of letting them come out of your pocket.
Airbnb and OTA promotions applied deliberately, early-bird, last-minute, and visibility boosts used when they help you, not when the platform wants them.
Smart locks, noise monitoring, and connected devices integrate directly, automatic door codes per reservation, alerts before small problems become big ones.
A professional owner statement every month, revenue, fees, occupancy, payouts, organized the way your CPA wishes every client's records looked.
β¦and that's not the whole list. Ask us on your pricing review call.
Why 12 months? We invest first, your entire professional build-out is done before you've paid a single month, and pricing strategy proves itself over seasons. Everything we build lives in your accounts. Yours, not ours.
A property earning $60,000/year pays a 20% manager $12,000. STR Guru is $297 per month, flat, and you stay in control.
We analyze your rates, calendar, and channels, and show you exactly what we'd change. If we can't clearly pay for ourselves on your property, we'll say so.
Listings, channels, pricing strategy, automations, guest agreement, taxes, and payments, a full professional build-out, done for you in minutes, not weeks.
Within minutes you're on more platforms, with a revenue team watching your calendar and one inbox for everything. You host. We power.
Built by a technology team that operates 70+ short-term rentals of its own, through every season, every platform change, and every kind of guest. Everything we learned is built into your setup on day one. Nothing here is theory.
Why every STR Guru property runs our battle-tested house rules and occupancy verification, refined after every incident so it never happens to you.
Why every guest signs our rental agreement before check-in. Fraud screening and documentation that stop the problem before the door unlocks.
Why our payment flow, signed agreements, and damage protection exist. When it happened to us, we built the process, now it ships with your setup on day one.
You can't Google experience. It comes included.
STR Guru put my properties on 20+ channels I wasn't on. Revenue jumped 30% in the first 60 days with zero extra work from me.
I've referred multiple clients to STR Guru. Their multi-channel approach and professional backend is exactly what serious investors need, and it's built with the same compliance standards. I just wish I would have found them sooner.
I went from managing everything myself to fully hands-off in under a week. The six-step onboarding was stupidly easy and they had me live and optimized fast.
This is the first platform that actually feels like we are a huge firm with all their technology. They handle revenue management and optimizations at our standard, without us adding headcount.
As a new host, I was overwhelmed. STR Guru removed every friction point, especially the part where we are on so many platforms, not just Airbnb. I felt safe and supported from day one.
Your property could be next.
Get My Free Pricing ReviewBecause we do the expensive part first. Your entire professional build-out, channels, pricing, agreements, payments, happens up front, and pricing strategy proves itself across seasons. Twelve months makes the math work for both of us, and everything we build lives in your accounts, so you're never hostage.
Onboarding is a 15-minute call, and your property goes live on multiple platforms the same day, often within about 5 minutes of connecting your listing. A few channels, like Vrbo, finish their own review within days, and we show you the status of each.
You're covered twice. Third-party damage protection insures your property against broken items, stains, pet damage and more, and every guest has already signed our rental agreement and house rules, so documentation for a claim or dispute is ready before anything happens.
Every guest is vetted before check-in: we capture their ID and require acknowledgment of your house rules. Combined with our fraud-screened payment processing, the problem guests get filtered out before the door ever unlocks.
We do. STR Guru collects and processes credit-card payments for direct bookings and for platforms that don't charge the guest themselves, securely and compliantly, and it all appears in your monthly statement.
No. Automated message sequences we've perfected over years, booking confirmation, check-in instructions, mid-stay check-in, checkout, review request, go out on their own. For everything else, AI drafts a reply in your unified inbox and you just review and send.
No, our system automatically reviews guests for you after each stay, which keeps your listings in good standing and encourages guests to review you back.
Once. Add photos, change your description, adjust house rules or amenities in one place, and it updates on every connected platform simultaneously. What used to take hours takes minutes.
Detailed dashboards and analytics, occupancy, revenue, booking sources, performance over time, plus a professional monthly statement. You'll know more about your listing than you ever did managing it alone.
Core channels for nearly every property: Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com, and our direct-booking marketplace. Beyond that. Google Vacation Rentals, Hopper, Whimstay, Trip.com, and others, depends on your property's location and each platform's eligibility rules. We map out your exact channel list on the free pricing review.
No. Your existing Airbnb account stays yours; everything else is distributed through our enterprise connections. That's the point, you get the reach without managing ten logins.
Platforms that collect guest payments (like Airbnb) keep paying you directly, exactly as they do now. For direct bookings and channels that don't collect, we process the payment securely and remit to you with your monthly statement, every dollar itemized.
That's exactly why you diversify. If any single channel pauses your listing, the other channels, and your direct-booking presence, keep earning while it gets resolved. One platform's decision stops being an existential threat.
You set the guardrails, a price floor, an optional ceiling, and blackout dates, and our revenue team works freely inside them. Your floor is never crossed. You can change your guardrails anytime with an email.
Yes, new hosts often benefit most, because you start with professional pricing, an optimized listing, and battle-tested guest protections from day one instead of learning each lesson the expensive way.
No. Your listings stay yours. We connect to them, improve them, and add more channels alongside.
You do, but our software does the heavy lifting. Every message from every platform arrives in one unified inbox, and automated messages handle check-in, check-out, house info, and review requests on their own. Most owners spend far less time on messages than before.
Experienced hosts usually leave the most on the table: fee recovery, gap-night strategy, channel spread, agreement gaps. The review is free either way, if your setup is already tight, we'll tell you.
We'll look at your rates, calendar, channels, and guest protections, and tell you honestly what we'd change. If STR Guru won't pay for itself on your property, we'll say so.
