Independent Airbnb/Vrbo hosts, co-hosts, and small-to-mid-size short-term rental property managers who need to run guest communication, pricing, and turnovers across multiple listings without switching between OTA apps.
A unified inbox and AI-assisted automated messaging across Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com, and Agoda, a channel manager with real-time calendar sync, built-in dynamic pricing, cleaning/task management with teammate payouts, a direct-booking website, guest verification, an owner portal with statements and payouts, and native payment processing for direct bookings.
