## Common complaints about Besty

- **Besty handles the inbox, not the property**: Besty autonomously replies to guests and pushes upsells. But cleaning, maintenance, and turnover coordination — the work that actually eats your week — isn't part of it. TIDY automates that for you.
- **Upsell commissions are a recurring cut**: Besty takes a commission (around 9%) on the upsell revenue it generates, on top of its per-listing fee. TIDY is a flat 3.9% of bookings for full operations, with no cut of your upsells.
- **A copilot, not a property manager**: Besty assists while you stay in the loop and do the managing. TIDY is an AI Property Manager that does the operational work for you, with a human account manager on backup.

## Who picks TIDY

- Owners with 3+ properties who want to stop paying 20–35% to a traditional property manager
- Owners who don't want to hand over their Airbnb account or bank account
- Property managers scaling operations without adding headcount
- Anyone who wants AI automation + a dedicated human account manager, not just software

## Customer perspective

> TIDY is the easiest system I have ever worked with. Adding photos to my cleanings made a huge difference in making sure cleaners set up my Airbnb the way I want for my guests.
