Beds24

Beds24 publishes the most transparent pricing in this category and structures it unlike anyone else. There is no plan to choose and no contract to sign: the account works like a prepaid phone, topped up with whatever amount the operator chooses, with no minimum term and no set-up fee. The scalable monthly fee starts from EUR 15.50 regardless of how many bookings come through, and a hostel with a single dorm and one bed sits at EUR 15.90. Prices are quoted in Euros.

Charges are itemised rather than bundled. The channel manager is an add-on at EUR 0.55 per month based on the actual number of rentals, rooms, apartments or other units, so a small operator pays a small amount. Additional user logins are EUR 2.00 per month, SMS booking notifications EUR 0.10 each, a private label subdomain EUR 19.00 per month, and personal onboarding with training from EUR 79.00. Included at no extra cost are the property management system, automation, payment processing, a central inbox for Airbnb and Booking.com, automated messaging, multi-property support, yield management, a booking website and a commission-free booking engine. Beds24 holds Airbnb Preferred, Booking.com Premier, Expedia Elite and Vrbo Preferred partner status, and operates across 150 countries with 60+ channels.
