Methodology
The method behind the ranking.
Every tool runs on a live portfolio for a full booking cycle; the final score is weighted.
Nothing here is rated from the outside. It earns its keep on real bookings for a season before we write a word. The weighting below is where the real judgement lives.
We connect each tool to real listings and use it the way an owner would — through peak weekends and quiet midweeks — before it gets a score.
Our four-part rubric
- 38% Guest experience
The check-in, messaging and stay quality guests actually feel.
- 27% Value
Cost weighed against the money it makes or protects.
- 20% Reliability
How rarely it breaks, double-books or drops a message when it matters.
- 15% Support
Whether you can reach a human quickly when something breaks at 11pm.
A tool is never scored on its marketing. No cheque moves a tool up this page.
