PriceLabs

Overview

PriceLabs is a dynamic pricing and revenue management service for short-term rental hosts, property managers, and hotels. It is best for operators who want nightly rates and minimum stays adjusted alongside tools for reviewing portfolio performance and local competition. Its combination of daily pricing and market analysis is useful, though per-listing charges and the included sync limit deserve close attention.

Key features

PriceLabs’ Hyper Local Pulse algorithm draws on market data and customizable pricing rules to recommend rates night by night. It recalculates prices and minimum stays daily, then syncs them automatically. This suits operators looking for regular repricing without manually adjusting each listing; the standard plan’s one automated sync per day may not suit businesses that need more frequent updates.

Portfolio Analytics tracks occupancy, average daily rate (ADR), and revenue per available room (RevPAR), with pacing comparisons against the prior year and the market. Market Dashboards offer ready-made or custom views and competitor comparisons using comp sets with 40+ filters. These tools help managers consider portfolio performance and competitor positioning alongside individual rate recommendations.

PriceLabs connects directly to Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo, and more than 160 property management systems and channel managers. Its iOS and Android apps let users check prices, view calendars, and make quick edits. The service also includes occupancy and revenue forecasting. Support is available 24×5, with free online training and group sessions.

Pricing

PriceLabs has a free plan and a 30-day Dynamic Pricing trial that requires no credit card. The Dynamic Pricing plan is 14.49 USD per month, billed at $14.49 per listing per month plus taxes; the displayed price varies by location and synced listings. Although the starting price is $9.99/mo, per-listing billing means total cost rises with the number of listings. After the trial, billing covers listings that successfully sync prices during the billing cycle, and users can cancel anytime.

The subscription includes one automated sync per day. Additional automated syncs cost $1.00 per listing per month, while manual syncs are free and unlimited. Customer API usage is another add-on at $1.00 per listing per month. Those needing more frequent automation or API access should add these charges when evaluating the plan. Dynamic Pricing includes market data, occupancy forecasting, daily price updates, and revenue forecasting.

Platforms

PriceLabs is available on web, iOS, and Android, and supports API access. The mobile apps are useful for checking prices, reviewing calendars, and making quick edits away from a desk.

Who it's for

PriceLabs is a strong fit for short-term rental hosts, property managers, and hotels that want daily pricing and minimum-stay adjustments plus portfolio and competitor analysis. It is less compelling for operators who require multiple automated updates each day but want to avoid the per-listing add-on, or who do not need the additional analytics alongside pricing.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Daily recommendations cover both prices and minimum stays, reducing the need for manual routine changes.
• Pros: Portfolio metrics, pacing comparisons, and competitor dashboards give managers context beyond nightly rates.
• Pros: Direct connections to major booking sites and more than 160 PMSs and channel managers support a broad range of operations.
• Cons: Only one automated sync per day is included; more frequent automated updates add a per-listing monthly charge.
• Cons: API usage is an extra per-listing cost, and per-listing billing can make the total grow with a portfolio.

Alternatives

Browse property management revenue management software for more options in this category.

Choose Beyond if a free option focused on market and listing insights is enough: its Free plan does not change prices, while its Growth plan is billed at 1% of bookings. Choose Wheelhouse if its free market report and pricing insights meet your needs, or if you prefer its Dynamic Sets plan at 12.99 USD per set per month. Consider Entrata for a property management platform, RealPage Student for student housing, or ApartmentIQ Daylight for a service that pushes approved prices to a PMS. Prorize AI Pricing Platform, Rentana, and RentVision Revenue Management are also alternatives.

Verdict

Choose PriceLabs if you manage short-term rentals or hotel listings and want daily rate and minimum-stay adjustments paired with portfolio and competitor analysis. Its main advantage is the breadth of pricing and revenue tools in one service; look elsewhere if the per-listing costs, paid sync and API add-ons, or one included automated sync per day do not fit your operation.
