Frequently asked questions

Plans, channels, pricing rules, smart locks, and switching from another PMS.

What is the difference between the Messaging and Pro plans?

Messaging covers guest communication: automated messages and reviews, the unified inbox, cleaner notifications by SMS or email, message translation, the mobile app, and free personalized onboarding. It connects Airbnb, VRBO, Booking.com and Google.

Pro adds everything that touches your calendar, your rates and your team: real-time calendar sync to prevent double bookings, pricing and availability rules, automated smart lock codes, multi-user access, a direct booking website, AI-personalized replies, AI that learns from your past conversations, and Google Vacation Rentals.

What happens if I turn on a Pro feature while I am on the Messaging plan?

Your subscription moves to Pro automatically, and Host Tools shows you a warning before that happens. You are never switched without seeing it first.

Which channels does Host Tools work with?

Airbnb, VRBO and Booking.com through direct API connections, plus Houfy and Google Vacation Rentals. You can also bring in any other calendar over iCal, and sync your own direct booking site.

Does Host Tools set my prices automatically?

It prices by rules rather than by market demand. You set the logic, such as a weekend uplift, a season, a minimum rate or a discount on orphan nights between two bookings, and Host Tools applies it across your channels and adjusts for each channel's fees. If you want market data driving the rate, Host Tools integrates with PriceLabs and applies your rules on top. Pricing rules are a Pro feature.

Do I need a smart lock to use Host Tools?

No. Smart lock automation is an optional Pro feature and costs $3 per month per lock on top of your plan. Without one, everything else works exactly the same.

Can I use Host Tools on only some of my listings?

Yes. You choose which listings Host Tools manages, and you are billed on that number rather than on everything in your channel accounts.

Is there a free trial, and do I need a card?

Every account gets a 14-day free trial and no credit card is required to start it. Personalized onboarding is included on every plan.

Switching from another PMS

Can I set everything up before I leave my current PMS?

Yes, using Airbnb setup mode. It connects your Airbnb account to Host Tools while your current PMS is still connected, so nothing is interrupted while you get ready. You can import your listings, build your pricing and message rules, connect VRBO and Booking.com, and switch Messaging on to talk to guests, all while your existing PMS carries on handling the calendar.

Availability and pricing sync to Airbnb stay off while you are in setup mode. That is deliberate, and it stops the two systems fighting over the same calendar. When you are ready, you disconnect the old PMS on Airbnb, reconnect without setup mode, and turn the sync toggles on. Total downtime is a few minutes.

Setup mode is available for Airbnb accounts only. Read the full setup mode guide.

Will you move me over from my current PMS?

Yes, and it is free however many listings you have. We connect your Airbnb, VRBO and Booking.com accounts, import every listing and calendar, rebuild your message rules and automated guest messaging, set up your smart locks, and bring your past reservations in from a CSV.

It starts with a 30-minute call to plan it. The build itself usually takes us under an hour, and you do not need to be there while we do it. Every listing comes in switched off, so nothing goes live until you say so. We then walk you through it together on the go-live call. Book a free migration call.
