Best for setting nightly rental prices
Wheelhouse sets nightly prices for each listing using rules or market data, and it links to Airbnb and a long list of booking systems. The free tier lets you link listings and try settings, but paid pricing is per listing, and cost climbs with every listing you add.
Who Wheelhouse is for
- 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
Who Wheelhouse is not for
- 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
Why Wheelhouse gets a 2.2
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- CValue for money$19.99 per listing a month, or 1% of revenue with a $2.99 minimum. That sits between the category's middle and its dearer quarter, and it multiplies by every listing.
- CFree plan and trialEvery listing can be linked free, with no card, to read the market report and test settings. That's a look at the tool, not live pricing.
- CFeaturesRule-based and data-driven pricing, groups of listings, a portfolio view and daily price sync. A focused tool that does its one job fully, but pricing is the only job, and groups are a separate $12.99 plan.
- CEase of useNo store rating on record. You link accounts and tune settings before it does anything useful.
- BPlatforms and integrationsWeb only, with links to Airbnb, Guesty, Hostaway, Hostfully and others, and APIs.

Keep it
The plain part of Wheelhouse you could make: reports and calendar. What surrounds it you could not. The 2 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.
It costs $239.88 a year.
What you could make
- Reports and calendar: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- Connections that pull numbers from dozens of other services.
- It plugs into other products, Airbnb, Avantio and Barefoot among them, and has an API.
What this rests on. Wheelhouse’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.
