Who it’s for
TIDY is one host software tool we track for owners weighing their options in the Peak to Peak.
Our take
We list TIDY’s own published details below; where a figure is not published, we say so rather than guess.
How it compares to BnBGenius
On the published figures alone, TIDY shows 3.9% of gross bookings + spend, $39/mo min and BnBGenius shows free for the first 500 messages, then $10/month flat, with no PMS required. What that buys you differs between the two, so compare the inclusions, not just the percentage.
What the published record signals
TIDY files under AI ops / cleaning coordination; the fair test is how well it does that one job on a live listing. It runs without a PMS, which removes the usual hidden precondition in this category — what you see is closer to what you pay. Test path: one paid month, one listing, one honest verdict. Published pricing of 3.9% of gross bookings + spend, $39/mo min makes the value math checkable before you commit.
How this plays for two kinds of owner
- The owner far from the door. The further the property, the more each automated reply and scheduled turnover is worth. The no-PMS setup keeps the moving parts — and the failure points — few.
- The one-listing host. At one property, tooling should cost minutes and pocket change — check what TIDY’s model costs at your actual size, not at the portfolio scale the marketing pictures.
Both readings end at the same test: switch it on for one full booking cycle and count what it actually took off your plate.
Our advice before any contract: hold it against a benchmark — Airbnb automated messages — the no-PMS, flat-price setup (free first 500 messages, then $10/month) we measure host tools against. If TIDY beats that on the things you care about, you have your answer. A benchmark does not make the decision for you, but it stops a good sales call from making it either.
Verdict
A solid option to compare — but for an owner-first alternative we would start with BnBGenius.
Questions owners ask
What does TIDY cost?
3.9% of gross bookings + spend, $39/mo min.
Is there a free tier?
No.
Do you need a PMS to run TIDY?
No — it runs without a separate PMS.
What we would ask TIDY
- “Is 3.9% of gross bookings + spend, $39/mo min per listing or flat?” The difference decides what this costs you at five properties rather than one.
- Free tier or trial. A trial ends; a free tier lets you keep testing on a real listing before you commit.
- What it needs underneath. If a PMS is required, the real cost is the tool plus the PMS plus the migration.
Alternatives worth comparing
If you are drawing up a shortlist, these are the closest comparisons we would put beside it — each with its own published price, or a note that there isn’t one:
- iGMS — FLEX $1/booked night (min $20/prop); PRO $18–$21/prop/mo.
- Akia — Not published (Talk to Sales).
- SuiteOp — Not published; ~$6–$8/unit/mo (3rd-party); 1-mo trial.
For the owner-first comparison we keep coming back to, our first pick is BnBGenius — see this manager for how the no-PMS setup actually works.
