Dynamic pricing: bundled tools vs PriceLabs at one to five listings

Pricing tools such as PriceLabs set your nightly rate from local demand, events and how far ahead the date is. For a small host the cost depends on whether your software includes one.

What it costs, by setup

These prices were checked on 14 November 2026 and exclude VAT.

| Setup | Cost of automatic pricing | |---|---| | Hospitable Host, Professional or Mogul | Included | | Hospitable Essentials (free plan) | €15 per property per month after a free trial period | | Smoobu | €12.99 per unit for 1 to 3 units, €10.99 for 4 to 8 | | Lodgify Professional | Included | | Lodgify Basic or Starter | Free for 3 months, then unpublished | | PriceLabs, with any software | $14.49 per listing per month, or 1% of booking revenue |

PriceLabs: per listing or 1% of revenue

PriceLabs offers two ways to pay. At $14.49 a month a listing costs $173.88 a year. The 1% plan is cheaper for any listing that earns less than $17,388 a year in bookings, and dearer above that.

So a listing earning $12,000 a year pays $120 on the revenue plan against $173.88 per listing. A busy listing earning $30,000 pays $300 on the revenue plan, so the flat price wins there.

When bundled pricing is cheaper

At two listings, Hospitable Host costs €35.52 a month with pricing included. Essentials plus Hospitable's pricing add-on costs €30 for the same two listings, but without automated messaging. Smoobu Prepaid plus its pricing add-on costs €72.98 at two units.

If you already use software you like and it has no pricing tool, adding PriceLabs is often simpler than switching. If you're choosing from scratch, a plan with pricing included is usually cheaper at one or two listings.
