BookingPal helps vacation rental operators distribute listings to travel sites and manage inventory across connected channels. Its RevPAL product adds distribution to an existing property management system (PMS), while RevPAL+ combines distribution with reservations, guest and rate management, without requiring a separate PMS. BookingPal says its platform connects to 26 channels; named destinations include Airbnb, Booking.com, VRBO, Expedia, Homes & Villas by Marriott, Google Travel, Hyatt, and Amex Travel. Access to some premium channels may depend on partner approval. The platform synchronizes rates and availability across channels to help reduce double-booking risk. RevPAL+ also provides a unified inbox for guest messages, recommended rates, reservation and guest management, and review tools. Developers can use a REST API, SDKs, a sandbox, and webhooks for real-time synchronization. The API supports property content, rates and availability, reservation changes, payment and guest detail flows, and performance reporting. BookingPal was founded in 2013 and is headquartered in Irvine, California. Both products have no long-term contract. RevPAL+ includes a 30-day money-back guarantee. Pricing starts at 3.00 USD per month for RevPAL, plus a per-unit charge and booking fee; RevPAL+ starts at 19.00 USD per month, with per-unit and booking charges.
