Uplisting pitches itself as the calmer alternative to heavier systems. It syncs prices, availability and bookings across Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo and a direct booking site in real time, and its unified inbox handles automated and AI messaging, with SMS on every plan. Cleaning schedules, tasks and security deposits run from the same dashboard, and managers get client statements and an owner portal. Developers get a full REST API and MCP server access. Pricing has an unusual choice: a flat monthly fee, or a pay-as-you-go option with no monthly fee and a commission per booking, 3% on Independent Host and 1.5% on Operator. That helps new or seasonal hosts, but the commission can pass the flat fee once bookings pick up. Operator adds smart locks, Uplisting Protect for security deposits and the Google Vacation Rentals channel. Our checks showed prices in GBP, so the USD price is marked pending.

Who it is for

Growing hosts and small teams who want a simpler PMS and the option to pay per booking.
