Why People Leave Frontdesk
20–30% of your revenue goes to Frontdesk
On a property earning $100K/year, you’re paying Frontdesk $20,000–$30,000. TIDY delivers the same full operations coverage for $3,900.
Tech-branded, but still staff-dependent
Frontdesk markets itself as tech-enabled, but operations still rely heavily on human staff. You’re paying a premium for a traditional model with a modern wrapper.
Urban and corporate-housing focus limits flexibility
Frontdesk targets urban and corporate housing markets. If you have vacation rentals or properties outside their focus areas, coverage may be limited.
You lose your listings and brand identity
Frontdesk manages properties under their brand. You lose direct control of your Airbnb and VRBO listings, guest relationships, and pricing decisions.

Frontdesk
No — their staff
“I thought Frontdesk’s tech approach would be worth the premium fees, but the operations were still very manual. TIDY actually automates the work — and at 3.9%, the savings paid for itself in the first month.”
