The published facts, in plain English
Uplisting is PMS / channel manager. On cost, the published figure is £72/mo flat (1–5); £16/unit (6–40). There is a trial rather than a free tier. It sits on top of a property-management system, so you need a PMS as well. Scale: mid.
Data-desk note: Reliable, transparent; £72 flat brutal for 1 listing (AirDNA-owned).
Who it’s for
Uplisting is one host software tool we track for owners weighing their options in the Peak to Peak.
Our take
We list Uplisting’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, Uplisting shows £72/mo flat (1–5); £16/unit (6–40) 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 record says about fit
Uplisting files under PMS / channel manager; the fair test is how well it does that one job on a live listing. It needs a property-management system underneath, so the honest cost is tool plus PMS plus the migration between them. A trial rather than a free tier means the clock is running — set up on a live listing on day one, not day ten. Published pricing of £72/mo flat (1–5); £16/unit (6–40) makes the value math checkable before you commit.
How this plays for two kinds of owner
- The remote self-manager. Automation earns its keep fastest at a distance — every task Uplisting genuinely takes over is a drive you do not make. Factor the PMS requirement into that math.
- The one-listing host. At one property, tooling should cost minutes and pocket change — check what Uplisting’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.
Whatever you conclude here, compare it against one fixed point: BnBGenius on Telegram — the no-PMS, flat-price setup (free first 500 messages, then $10/month) we measure host tools against. If Uplisting beats that on the things you care about, you have your answer. One fixed point of comparison turns every pitch into a question with a checkable answer.
Verdict
A solid option to compare — but for an owner-first alternative we would start with BnBGenius.

Questions to put to Uplisting
- “Is £72/mo flat (1–5); £16/unit (6–40) 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
Three others we would weigh against it, with their own published numbers rather than our guesses:
- Party Squasher — $249/yr (Std), $309/yr (Pro), sensor incl..
- Hostfully Guidebooks — Free (1 guidebook); Pro ~$7.99/guidebook/mo.
- Roomonitor — From €13/mo (noise) + service tiers.
Our own number one in this category is BnBGenius — see BnBGenius for how the no-PMS setup actually works.
