Today, we launch Essentials - a new Hospitable plan designed to make it easier than ever to get started with Hospitable.

So, what is Essentials?

Essentials lets you run your day-to-day hosting operations with:

  • Channel management across Airbnb, Booking.com & more

  • Unified inbox

  • Automated guest communication

  • Tasks & operations

  • Guest portal, upsells & more

👉 No monthly subscription
👉 No OTA fees
👉 Unlimited properties

We’ve designed it so you can get real value without paying a subscription fee, while keeping more advanced workflows on paid plans.

That means:

  • Some features are not included (e.g. integrations, API, direct websites for now)

  • Some are limited (e.g. support, advanced automation)

  • Some are pay-as-you-go

Why are we doing this?

We know many hosts:

  • Are just getting started

  • Don’t yet need (or want to pay for) advanced features

  • Or aren’t using a PMS at all

Essentials lowers the barrier to entry - while still giving you a path to grow.

We’re just getting started

This is the first step - not the finished product. We’ll be polishing throughout the year.

We’ll be improving:

  • Onboarding

  • Core usability

  • Everyday workflows

You can explore the full details, pricing, and what’s included to see if Essentials is a fit for you:

No ​@Alex 66, 3rd party integrations are not available as part of Essentials. Hospitable's Dynamic Pricing is available - free for 3 bookings (in first 30 days), then US$15/property per month

Even though you can’t use it with Hospitable, you can connect VRBO and AirBnb directly to Pricelabs.

​@mattm29 but wouldn't the prices pushed from PriceLabs to Airbnb/Vrbo just get overwritten by Hospitable? I would think Hospitable would be the source of truth for pricing.

​@Tom Beerley is correct here ​@mattm29 - Hospitable would be the source of truth for pricing on Essentials plan (it would override PriceLabs pricing if you were trying to use that directly on your Airbnb account) so you would manually set pricing in Hospitable or opt to use Hospitable Dynamic Pricing.
