## Common complaints about GuestReady

- **15–25% of your revenue goes to GuestReady**: On a property earning $100K/year, you're paying GuestReady $15,000–$25,000. TIDY delivers full operations for $3,900.
- **Tech-enabled branding, traditional operations**: GuestReady brands itself as tech-forward, but still relies on local teams for operations. You're paying a premium for a management company with software, not real AI automation.
- **They control your listings and guest relationships**: GuestReady manages your Airbnb and booking platform accounts. With TIDY, your listings, reviews, and guest communication stay 100% yours.
- **Limited US market presence**: GuestReady operates primarily in European cities with limited US coverage. TIDY works nationwide across any US market.

## Customer perspective

> GuestReady looked modern but operations were still very manual behind the scenes. TIDY is genuinely AI-powered — I can see the automation working in real time, and my costs dropped by over 75%.
