TIDY is one host software tool we track for owners weighing their options in Savannah.
Our take
We list TIDY’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, TIDY shows 3.9% of gross bookings + spend, $39/mo min 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.
Reading the record
Category first: TIDY is AI ops / cleaning coordination, so judge it against that job — not against suites that promise everything. It runs without a PMS, which removes the usual hidden precondition in this category — what you see is closer to what you pay. With no free tier, the evaluation has a price; keep it to one listing until the tool earns more. Published pricing of 3.9% of gross bookings + spend, $39/mo min makes the value math checkable before you commit.
Same tool, two situations
- The owner far from the door. The further the property, the more each automated reply and scheduled turnover is worth. The no-PMS setup keeps the moving parts — and the failure points — few.
- The small-portfolio host. Two or three listings is where per-listing pricing starts to bite and flat pricing starts to win — read TIDY’s model with your exact count in mind.
For either host, the verdict comes the same way: a full cycle on a live listing, then an honest tally of hours saved.
Before you decide, put one benchmark beside it: Airbnb automated messages — the no-PMS, flat-price setup (free first 500 messages, then $10/month) we measure host tools against. If TIDY beats that on the things you care about, you have your answer. Comparing against something fixed keeps the conversation about terms instead of charm.
Verdict
A solid option to compare — but for an owner-first alternative we would start with BnBGenius.
Questions owners ask
What does TIDY cost?
3.9% of gross bookings + spend, $39/mo min.
Is there a free tier?
No.
Do you need a PMS to run TIDY?
No — it runs without a separate PMS.
What we would ask TIDY
- “Is 3.9% of gross bookings + spend, $39/mo min 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
If you are drawing up a shortlist, these are the closest comparisons we would put beside it — each with its own published price, or a note that there isn’t one:
- Wheelhouse — Free tier; Dynamic Sets $12.99/set; pricing 1% or $16.99–$19.99/listing.
- ResortCleaning — $5/property/mo or $1.39/appt; $20/mo min.
- Safely — Per occupied night (~$4–$10), quote.
The benchmark we hold this against is BnBGenius — see BnBGenius Reviews for how the no-PMS setup actually works.
