Best for connecting a property system to 90+ booking sites
Rentals United keeps rates and availability in step across more than 90 booking sites, and it sits on top of whatever booking system you already use. Plans start at $330 a month for 10 to 50 listings, there is no trial, and the next tier up has no published price at all.
Who Rentals United is for
- Fits if you manage 10 or more listings and need one place that feeds every booking site
- Works for companies that already have a property system and just need it connected to more channels
Who Rentals United is not for
- Skip it if you have one or two homes, because $330 a month is built for 10 to 50 listings
- Not for you if you want a booking system too, as it expects you to bring your own
- Watch out: Scale and Enterprise are quote-only and the add-ons carry no published price
- Tight if you want to try before paying, since no trial is listed
Why Rentals United gets a 1.6
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- DValue for moneyPro starts at $330 a month, which is more than six times the $51 where the category's dearest tenth begins, and it is built for 10 to 50 listings.
- FFree plan and trialNo free plan and no trial are on record.
- CFeaturesSyncs rates, calendars and inventory to 90+ channels, with a shared inbox and reports. But it's a distribution layer, not a full booking system, and the direct-booking site and screening are paid add-ons.
- CEase of useNo store rating on record. You connect your property system or build against its API before anything flows, and the vendor wants you to keep that system.
- BPlatforms and integrationsWeb only, with 60+ system partners, an API and links to Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo and Google.

Keep Rentals United, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Rentals United you would be making two-way connections to Airbnb, Booking.com and Vrbo. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 51 of the 53 other vacation rental tools grade higher. It costs $3,960 a year.
What you could make
- Reports: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- Two-way connections to Airbnb, Booking.com and Vrbo.
- It plugs into other products, Airbnb, Booking.com and Vrbo among them, and has an API.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
What this rests on. Rentals United’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
What is Rentals United?
Rentals United is a channel manager for vacation rental property managers. It connects an existing property management system, or its own open API, to more than 90 booking channels such as Airbnb, Booking.com and Vrbo. It also offers a multi-calendar, a unified inbox, analytics and a direct-booking website as add-ons.
Worth knowing
