Pricing
10%.
That's the whole fee.
No setup costs. No listing fees. No platform surcharges. No cleaning markups. No "premium" upsell. No exit fees. No contract lock-in.
We mean it. If you ever see a line on your statement that's not gross bookings or our 10%, we got something wrong.

How we stack up
Why owners are leaving everyone else for us.
We pulled the public pricing of the four biggest names in vacation-rental management. Most don't even publish a real number. We do.

|---|---|---|---|
| Keytostay You're here | 10% flat, all-in | $0 none. ever. | Published, contractual |
| Vacasa | 25–35% often hidden in contract | Variable | Hidden / variable |
| AvantStay | Premium opaque, luxury only | Negotiated | Hidden / variable |
| Evolve | 10% + add-ons guest comms cost extra | Listing fees | Hidden / variable |

The fine print, in plain English
"Net bookings" means what?
Net bookings = gross booking revenue from a stay, minus platform fees (Airbnb/Vrbo service fees) and lodging taxes that pass through to the taxing authority. We take 10% of that. The cleaning fee charged to guests goes directly to the cleaner — we don't take a cut, you don't pay it, the guest pays it. Same for damage deposits — those flow through.
Sample monthly statement
- Gross booking revenue
- $14,820
- Platform fees (pass-through)
- −$520
- Lodging taxes (pass-through)
- −$1,210
- Net bookings
- $13,090
- Keytostay 10%
- −$1,309
- Your payout
- $11,781
That's the whole statement. No "marketing line," no "tech fee," no "guest services upcharge." Two numbers.
