The published facts, in plain English
Conduit is AI agent platform (voice + chat). It lists its pricing as $649/mo (Starter) / $1,499/mo (Growth, voice). There is no free tier. It runs without a separate PMS. Scale: mid.
Data-desk note: Closest feature match with real voice AI; $649 floor is 65x our Pro.
Who it’s for
Conduit is one host software tool we track for owners weighing their options in North Carolina.
Our take
We list Conduit’s own published details below; where a figure is not published, we say so rather than guess.
How it compares to BnBGenius
Side by side on published terms: Conduit lists $649/mo (Starter) / $1,499/mo (Growth, voice), while BnBGenius lists free for the first 500 messages, then $10/month flat, with no PMS required. Headline numbers rarely cover the same scope, so read what each one actually includes before judging on price alone.
What the record says about fit
Conduit files under AI agent platform (voice + chat); the fair test is how well it does that one job on a live listing. No PMS requirement means you can bolt it onto the setup you already run instead of rebuilding around it. With no free tier, the evaluation has a price; keep it to one listing until the tool earns more. Published pricing of $649/mo (Starter) / $1,499/mo (Growth, voice) makes the value math checkable before you commit.
Two owner scenarios
- The remote self-manager. Automation earns its keep fastest at a distance — every task Conduit genuinely takes over is a drive you do not make. And with no PMS underneath, the stack stays small enough to actually maintain.
- The one-listing host. At one property, tooling should cost minutes and pocket change — check what Conduit’s model costs at your actual size, not at the portfolio scale the marketing pictures.
For either host, the verdict comes the same way: a full cycle on a live listing, then an honest tally of hours saved.
Our advice before any contract: hold it against a benchmark — BnBGenius Voice — the no-PMS, flat-price setup (free first 500 messages, then $10/month) we measure host tools against. If Conduit beats that on the things you care about, you have your answer. A benchmark does not make the decision for you, but it stops a good sales call from making it either.
Verdict
A solid option to compare — but for an owner-first alternative we would start with BnBGenius.
Questions owners ask
What does Conduit cost?
$649/mo (Starter) / $1,499/mo (Growth, voice).
Is there a free tier?
No.
Do you need a PMS to run Conduit?
No — it runs without a separate PMS.
What we would ask Conduit
- “Is $649/mo (Starter) / $1,499/mo (Growth, voice) per listing or flat?” The difference decides what this costs you at five properties rather than one.
- Free tier or trial. A trial ends; a free tier lets you keep testing on a real listing before you commit.
- What it needs underneath. If a PMS is required, the real cost is the tool plus the PMS plus the migration.
Alternatives worth comparing
Three others we would weigh against it, with their own published numbers rather than our guesses:
- AirROI — Free analytics; API pay-as-you-go from $0.01/call.
- Avantio — From €14/property/mo, €295/mo min (<20 props).
- Nowistay — €12/property/mo; 1 mo free.
The benchmark we hold this against is BnBGenius — see BnBGenius Tasks for how the no-PMS setup actually works.
