Airbnb pricing tool for your business

Start with Airbnb’s smart pricing:

Airbnb is very helpful when it comes to pricing. They use the general information from your rental (rental type, number of bedrooms, amenities, etc.) and past information from your location to determine an ideal starting rental price. This price is a great place to begin, especially if you’re new to vacation rentals.

Pro Tip: Price can vary significantly across different cities and states. Do you live in one of the best cities for Airbnb?

Use your expertise to tweak from there:

If you’ve been in the Airbnb game for a while, you have a good handle on your area and on what makes demand and prices change throughout the year. Using Airbnb’s smart pricing as a guide, change prices as you see fit for special events, busy weeks, bad weather or holidays to maximize your profit.
