- **Quality depends on your local franchisee**: Casago uses a franchise model — your experience depends entirely on whoever runs the local franchise. TIDY's AI delivers consistent quality everywhere.
- **They take over your listing and brand**: Casago controls your listing, pricing, and guest communication. With TIDY, you keep 100% ownership and control.
- **Vacasa acquisition adds transition risk**: Casago acquired Vacasa in 2025, integrating 40,000+ properties. Merging systems and teams creates service uncertainty.
