Host Tools is a property management platform for short-term and vacation rental
hosts. It works on the web and as iOS and Android apps. This file states the
product's pricing and terms in full so they can be read directly. The canonical
pricing page is https://hosttools.com/pricing/.

## Pricing

Host Tools is priced by the number of listings you automate, and each listing you add costs less than the one before it. On the Pro plan billed monthly, one listing is $32 per month, and each additional listing adds $11 for the 2nd, $8 each for the 3rd to 9th, $7 each for the 10th to 19th, $6 each for the 20th to 48th, and $5 for the 49th onward. So 10 listings on Pro is $106 per month and 50 listings is $353 per month. The Messaging plan is lower at every size, at $30 for one listing and $103 for ten, and paying yearly reduces it further, to $28 and $92 per month respectively. Every plan includes a 14-day free trial with no credit card, there is no setup fee and no contract, and smart lock automation is available on the Pro plan as an optional $3 per month per lock.

### Price by number of listings

Figures are the total cost per month for the whole account, not per listing.

### How the scale works

Pricing starts from one listing and each additional listing adds less than the
one before it, on both plans.

- The 2nd listing adds $11 per month.
- The 3rd to 9th listings each add $8 per month.
- The 10th to 19th listings each add $7 per month.
- The 20th to 48th listings each add $6 per month.
- The 49th listing onward each add $5 per month.

### Plans

**Messaging** covers guest and cleaner communication.
- Manage everything in one place, including Airbnb, VRBO, Booking.com and Google
- Automated guest messages and review requests
- Instant cleaner notifications by SMS or email
- Unified inbox for every channel
- iOS and Android apps

**Pro** includes everything in Messaging, plus the following.

moves the subscription to Pro, and Host Tools warns before that happens.

### Add-ons

  lock linked to an enabled listing. Locks connect through Seam.

### What counts as a listing

One property counts as one listing regardless of how many channels it appears
on. Three apartments each listed on Airbnb, VRBO and Booking.com count as three
listings rather than nine, provided those channel listings are linked to each
other inside Host Tools. Unlinked duplicates of the same property are counted
separately. You are never charged for a listing you have disabled, so if you
only want to automate some of your properties, disable the rest and they will
not appear on your bill.

## Frequently asked questions

### What is included in each plan?

Messaging covers guest and cleaner communication. It gives you a unified inbox across every connected channel, automated messages and review requests, automatic message translation, cleaner notifications by SMS or email, and all of your reservations on a single calendar. Pro includes everything in Messaging and adds real-time calendar sync across channels, smart pricing and availability rules, automated smart lock codes, multi-user access, a direct booking website, AI-personalized guest replies, and Google Vacation Rentals. Both plans include the iOS and Android apps and free personalized onboarding.

### Is there a free trial?

Yes. Every account gets a 14-day free trial and no credit card is required to start it.

### Can I change plans?

Yes, and it happens automatically based on what you use. Host Tools only charges you for the features you actually have enabled, so if no Pro features are turned on your account is billed at the Messaging rate. Turn on a Pro feature at any time and the subscription moves to Pro. Host Tools always shows a warning before that happens. You can cancel at any time and there are no contracts.

### What counts as a listing?

One property counts as one listing, no matter how many channels it appears on. If you manage three apartments and each is listed on Airbnb, VRBO and Booking.com, you pay for three listings rather than nine, provided those channel listings are linked to each other inside Host Tools. Unlinked duplicates of the same property are counted separately, because Host Tools cannot tell they are the same place. You are never charged for a listing you have disabled, so if you only want to automate some of your properties, disable the rest and they will not appear on your bill.

### Is there a setup fee?

No. There is no setup fee and no contract. Personalized onboarding is included free with every plan, and you can cancel your subscription at any time.

### What happens if I exceed my listing count?

Nothing breaks, because there is no fixed listing count to exceed. Your subscription price scales with the number of enabled listings on your account. If you add a listing part-way through a billing cycle you are not charged for it until the next cycle begins, at which point the invoice covers the new total plus a prorated adjustment for the part-month. Removing or disabling a listing generates a credit against your next invoice. You are never charged for a listing you have disabled.
