Protecting Airbnb Host Revenue With Data

I ran multiple Airbnb listings for 6 years, focused on international guests. At first the rules felt simple: too high on weekdays = empty calendar, too low = leaving money on the table. So I bookmarked 5 competitor listings and manually checked their prices every Sunday night. About an hour each week. I did this for four years.

Things got harder when fee policies shifted and the market started moving faster. Holding the same price meant my net earnings shrank. Raising it meant empty nights. Weekday/Friday/weekend each demanded a different strategy, and holidays and seasons added more layers. One Sunday hour wasn't enough anymore. PriceLabs was too expensive ($19.99/listing/mo). Beyond Pricing took 1% of revenue — that grows fast. Both were built for hosts much bigger than me.

So I started building it myself. At first it was just a script for my own listings — pull competitor prices weekly, split into weekday/Friday/weekend tiers, show net earnings after the host fee. It changed my own revenue. I was certain other hosts in my situation would benefit from the same tool, and that became PriceBnb.

PriceBnb's promise is simple — honest pricing ($7.99/mo flat, never a percentage of your revenue), every recommendation paired with reasoning (weighted median, occupancy, seasonal shift, all visible), and you stay in control (no auto-apply — every Monday you read the report and decide). The goal isn't to take a cut of your revenue. It's to give you back your Sunday night.
