Best for UK self-catering owners and agencies
SuperControl is a booking engine and channel manager for UK holiday-let owners and agencies. The price sits behind a per-property calculator, there is a joining fee and a 1% fee on some bookings, and it has no free tier.
Who SuperControl is for
- Fits if you run UK self-catering lets and want bookings from several sites in one calendar
- Makes sense if you run an agency and need tools for owners and properties
Who SuperControl is not for
- Skip it if you want a price up front: the cost comes from a calculator and agency pricing is quoted on request
- Pricey if you take many bookings from Airbnb or Booking.com, as owner plans add a 1% service fee on those
- Watch out: owner plans also add a joining fee, and costs are in pounds excluding VAT
- Skip it if you want to try before paying, as no free plan or trial is listed
Why SuperControl gets a 2.0
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- CValue for moneyNo price is published as a flat figure: it is worked out per property in a calculator, in pounds and ex VAT, so we grade it in the middle.
- FFree plan and trialNo free plan and no trial are on record for this tool.
- BFeaturesBooking engine, channel manager, guest messages, extras, agency tools and reporting cover the whole job of running a let.
- CEase of useNo store rating on record, and you connect booking sites and set up properties before it is useful.
- BPlatforms and integrationsWeb only, but it links to Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo, Expedia, Cottages.com and TripAdvisor.

Keep SuperControl, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace SuperControl 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: 28 of the 53 other vacation rental tools grade higher.
What you could make
- Calendar, reports and review collection: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- Two-way connections to Airbnb, Booking.com and Vrbo.
- Connections that pull numbers from dozens of other services.
- It plugs into other products, Airbnb, Booking.com and Vrbo among them.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. SuperControl’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.
