Which one is for you
Pick DPGO if
- Fits if you have a few listings and want prices to move with the market
- Makes sense if you already use a property manager system it connects to
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you want a full property manager, as it sets prices only
- Tight if you have many listings, as $18 per listing per month adds up
- Watch out: three charging models, flat fee, 0.5% of booked price or $1 per booked night, so work out which costs least
- Watch out: invoices come every two weeks and only four card networks are accepted
- Too light for portfolio reporting, as insights are listed for PMS users only and competitor sets are beta
Pick Wheelhouse if
- Fits if you have several listings and want prices to move with demand
- Works for managers who already run Airbnb and a booking system and want pricing on top
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you want a booking system, because it only sets prices
- Pricey if you have many listings, at $19.99 each a month, and 50+ are quote only
- Watch out: the 1% option takes a share of revenue, with a $2.99 monthly minimum
- Watch out: Dynamic Sets is a separate $12.99 per set a month
- Tight if you hate cards, since one is needed once a listing goes paid

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.
