Which one is for you
Pick Beyond if
- Fits if you want to see your market free before handing over pricing
- Works for managers who would rather pay a share of bookings than a per-listing fee
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you want the free plan to set prices, as it doesn't
- Watch out: the cut is 1% or 1.25% of bookings, including cleaning and extra-guest fees
- Pricey if you want owner reports, since Owner Hub is an add-on from $30 a month
- Watch out: Advanced Connectivity is an add-on from $10 a month, and Android is not listed
Pick KeyData if
- Fits if you manage a portfolio and want to see how it compares with local competitors
- Works for SuperControl users, where the site says KeyData is free
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you want a price up front, as none is published and access starts with a demo
- Not for you if your system is not one of the supported ones, since the data depends on those connections
- Too light for running the business, as it reports and benchmarks but does not set prices or manage bookings
- Watch out: what you pay may depend on which property manager system you use

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
