## Common complaints about Inspirato

- **25–35% of your revenue goes to Inspirato**: On a luxury property earning $100K/year, you're paying Inspirato $25,000–$35,000. TIDY delivers full end-to-end operations at $3,900 — and you set your own luxury standards.
- **Subscription model adds costs on top of fees**: Inspirato's model involves subscription fees in addition to management costs. TIDY charges one flat 3.9% — no subscriptions, no add-ons.
- **You lose your property identity to the Inspirato brand**: Properties in Inspirato's portfolio are marketed under the Inspirato brand. You lose your direct guest relationships and the equity built in your own listing.
- **Limited to their curated market and client base**: Inspirato targets a specific high-end subscriber base. You're dependent on their platform for bookings and can't diversify across Airbnb, VRBO, or direct channels.

## 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

> The Inspirato model sounded appealing for a luxury property, but I was giving up too much — my brand, my guest relationships, and 30% of revenue. TIDY lets me maintain luxury standards at a fraction of the cost.
