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. - **Value for money: C.** No 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. - **Free plan and trial: F.** No free plan and no trial are on record for this tool. - **Features: B.** Booking engine, channel manager, guest messages, extras, agency tools and reporting cover the whole job of running a let. - **Ease of use: C.** No store rating on record, and you connect booking sites and set up properties before it is useful. - **Platforms and integrations: B.** Web only, but it links to Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo, Expedia, Cottages.com and TripAdvisor.

The category's chart of price against score: https://toolgpa.com/charts/vacation-rentals ## Keep it, 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. - You could make: Calendar, reports and review collection: an app builder makes these well. - You could not: Two-way connections to Airbnb, Booking.com and Vrbo. - You could not: Connections that pull numbers from dozens of other services. - You could not: It plugs into other products, Airbnb, Booking.com and Vrbo among them. - You could not: The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
