- **Up to 30% of your revenue goes to Natural Retreats**: On a $100K/year property, Natural Retreats takes up to $30,000. TIDY costs $3,900 — and delivers consistent AI-powered operations.
- **Luxury markup, resort focus**: Natural Retreats concentrates on premium resort destinations with a luxury fee tier. TIDY delivers premium quality without the premium price, anywhere.
- **They take over your brand and guest experience**: Your property is marketed under the Natural Retreats brand. You lose control of pricing, guest communication, and your reviews.
- **Inconsistent quality as they scale**: Full-service PMs rely on staff that varies by market. TIDY's AI delivers the same workflow everywhere — with your own trusted pros if you have them.

## Customer perspective

> I was paying a luxury property manager 30% and still doing a ton of the work myself. TIDY handles everything automatically at a fraction of the cost.
