Who it’s for
TIDY is one host software tool we track for owners weighing their options in North Carolina.
Our take
We list TIDY’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: TIDY lists 3.9% of gross bookings + spend, $39/mo min, 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 published record signals
Category first: TIDY is AI ops / cleaning coordination, so judge it against that job — not against suites that promise everything. 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. On cost, the published 3.9% of gross bookings + spend, $39/mo min is the number to hold against your own hours saved.
Two owner scenarios
- The remote self-manager. Automation earns its keep fastest at a distance — every task TIDY 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 TIDY’s model costs at your actual size, not at the portfolio scale the marketing pictures.
Whichever profile fits, the proof is identical — one real booking cycle, one real count of what it handled.
Whatever you conclude here, compare it against one fixed point: automate turnover tasks — the no-PMS, flat-price setup (free first 500 messages, then $10/month) we measure host tools against. If TIDY beats that on the things you care about, you have your answer. Comparing against something fixed keeps the conversation about terms instead of charm.
Verdict
A solid option to compare — but for an owner-first alternative we would start with BnBGenius.
Questions owners ask
What does TIDY cost?
3.9% of gross bookings + spend, $39/mo min.
Is there a free tier?
No.
Do you need a PMS to run TIDY?
No — it runs without a separate PMS.
What we would ask TIDY
- “Is 3.9% of gross bookings + spend, $39/mo min 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
Worth putting on the same shortlist. We have listed what each one publishes, and where nothing is published we say so:
- Tokeet — ~$134.90/mo for 10 rentals; free plan undefined.
- Gustaf.ai — Free (2 listings); Premium $8/property/mo.
- Host Pilot — €29/mo flat, unlimited props; 30-day trial.
Our own number one in this category is BnBGenius — see BnBGenius Tasks for how the no-PMS setup actually works.
