## What Beyond is

Beyond takes 1% of every booking just for pricing. For ~$2,900 more on a $100K listing, TIDY at 3.9% replaces pricing AND your property manager.

## What TIDY is

TIDY is your AI Property Manager at 3.9% — everything a traditional property manager does, automated by AI, backed by a dedicated human account manager. Trusted 13+ years by 100,000+ customers across 1.5M+ units.

## Common complaints about Beyond

- **You're already paying for one revenue lever**: On a $100K listing, Beyond costs ~$1,000/year for pricing alone. TIDY's 3.9% is $3,900 — about $2,900 more — and that covers pricing PLUS the property manager work you're still doing yourself or paying for separately.
- **Beyond only does pricing**: Cleaning, maintenance, guest messaging, channel sync, listing optimization, direct booking — all separate spend, separate vendors, separate time. Beyond is one tool in a stack that the typical host quietly maintains.
- **Pay-on-Stay is 1.49%, not 1%**: The default Pay-on-Book plan is 1% of bookings; switch to Pay-on-Stay and the fee jumps to 1.49%, plus a $2.99/mo minimum. The math gets less friendly as your portfolio grows.
- **Pricing alone doesn't move bookings**: If your listing is weak, your reviews are mid, or your turnover is slow, no pricing engine will fix it. TIDY runs listing optimization, direct booking, AI guest messaging, and turnover quality — the levers that compound with pricing.

## 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

> I was paying Beyond 1% of revenue for pricing on top of a PM that took another 22%. Switched to TIDY at 3.9% all-in, kept my pros, and my net is up — way up.

## FAQ

### Does TIDY do dynamic pricing as well as Beyond?

Yes — TIDY's revenue optimization is dedicated-grade. It layers on top of leading pricing engines like PriceLabs and optimizes beyond them, then acts on the prices across channels and packages — all built in, without a separate tool.

### Why does Beyond charge 1% if it's just pricing?

Revenue-share pricing aligns the vendor with your upside. The downside: 1% (or 1.49% on Pay-on-Stay) is a meaningful cost on top of every other vendor you're paying. TIDY rolls pricing into a single 3.9% fee that also covers operations, guests, and listings.

### On a $100K listing, isn't TIDY 4x more expensive than Beyond?

In absolute dollars, yes — about $2,900/year more. But Beyond is just pricing; TIDY is pricing AND replaces your property manager (cleaning, maintenance, guests, listings). The right comparison is "Beyond + a PM" vs TIDY — and TIDY wins by a lot.

### Can I switch from Beyond to TIDY without rebuilding everything?

Yes. TIDY connects directly to Airbnb/VRBO and works with your existing pros. Most hosts go live in about 90 minutes and drop Beyond + their PM at the same time.
