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. - **Value for money: C.** $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. - **Free plan and trial: C.** Every 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. - **Features: C.** Rule-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. - **Ease of use: C.** No store rating on record. You link accounts and tune settings before it does anything useful. - **Platforms and integrations: B.** Web only, with links to Airbnb, Guesty, Hostaway, Hostfully and others, and APIs.

What surrounds it you could not. The 2 things listed below take a company, not a weekend. It costs $239.88 a year. - You could make: Reports and calendar: an app builder makes these well. - You could not: Connections that pull numbers from dozens of other services. - You could not: It plugs into other products, Airbnb, Avantio and Barefoot among them, and has an API. A judgement by ToolGPA from this listing, by rules that are the same for every tool. Nothing was built to test it. ## Works with Airbnb, Avantio, Barefoot, Escapia, Guesty, Hospitable, Hostaway, Hostfully **Tags:** Reports, Dashboards, Public API, Calendar ## Alternatives - [PriceLabs](https://toolgpa.com/tools/pricelabs): Dynamic pricing and market data for rentals and hotels.
