About Stay N Host

We were hosts first.

Stay N Host began as the survival kit of hosts managing multiple properties, and became a mission: solve short-term rental operations properly, for every kind of host, everywhere.

It started at 2 a.m., like it does for every host

We were managing a growing portfolio of short-term rentals: our own units, some leased, some run for their owners. The phone buzzed all night. Guests messaged on WhatsApp, paid by bank transfer, and sent a screenshot as proof. Door codes went out by hand, cleaning ran on a group chat, and month-end meant a week inside spreadsheets trying to work out whose money was whose.

We did what everyone does: we went shopping for software. What we found assumed a card on file and treated the way our guests actually pay as an edge case. Some tools would not even show a price without a sales call. And what they called accounting was a statement generator: a PDF for the owner, nothing that would reconcile, nothing a bank or a partner could trust.

So we decided to solve it, for everyone

We built our own operating system, one problem at a time, in the order the business hurt: the shared WhatsApp inbox, the no-login quote link, human-verified payments, the turnover board, door codes that release themselves only when payment and ID are both verified, and finally real double-entry books that know whether a unit is owned, leased, profit-share, managed, or investor-funded.

Somewhere along the way the mission got bigger than our own portfolio. Every host we knew had the same nights and the same month-ends: the self-manager with two apartments, the co-host, the management company, the arbitrage operator, the owner who just wants an honest statement. So we turned our system into a product for all of them, priced it in public, and kept running our own units on it. That portfolio is live on Stay N Host right now. It is a live business, not a demo. When a workflow is clumsy, we feel it before you do.

What we believe

Three principles, non-negotiable.

Published prices

You should not need a meeting to learn a price. All five tiers are public, monthly and annual, extra properties and extra seats included. If our value needed hiding, it would not be value.

Human-gated money

Software can draft, remind, verify, and reconcile. Only a person should move money. No agent in Stay N Host can move funds, and no agent rule that moves funds can even be written.

Books that reconcile

An owner statement is a PDF. A ledger is proof. Every verified payment posts balanced double-entry records, and the books reconcile to zero, checked continuously, not at year end.

What we don't claim

Honesty is cheaper than churn. Today our channel sync is Airbnb, deep and two-way, not a wall of sixty OTA logos. There is no AI drafting guest replies: our automations are explicit rules you author, and they say exactly what you wrote. No native mobile apps yet, and no dynamic pricing engine. We publish these limits next to our prices, in a format your AI can read, at /llms.txt, and we keep the comparison pages honest, including the rows where competitors win. If you want a second opinion, ask your AI about us.
