# TIDY vs PriceLabs — AI Property Manager vs Revenue Optimization

> PriceLabs is best-in-class at one lever — dynamic pricing. TIDY layers its own AI on top of engines like PriceLabs and optimizes beyond them — then runs the rest of the property too: cleaning, maintenance, guests, and listings, across short-, mid-, and long-term. For a few thousand more a year, TIDY does all of it.

## What PriceLabs is

PriceLabs computes dynamic prices — you still manage everything else. For a few thousand more, TIDY runs the whole property at 3.9%, pricing included.

## What TIDY is

TIDY is your AI Property Manager at 3.9% — everything a traditional property manager does, automated by AI, backed by a dedicated human account manager. Trusted 13+ years by 100,000+ customers across 1.5M+ units.

## Common complaints about PriceLabs

- **You're paying for one lever — TIDY pulls all of them**: PriceLabs sets your prices. You (or your PM) still push them across channels, package upsells, run cleaning, route maintenance, and message guests. If you're going to pay for revenue optimization at all, TIDY's 3.9% adds the whole property manager to that lever.
- **Per-listing fees plus everything else in the stack**: $19.99/listing/mo is fair for what PriceLabs does. But the host who pays for PriceLabs typically also pays for a PMS or channel manager, separate cleaning/maintenance vendors, and their own time as the manager. TIDY rolls all of that into one 3.9% fee.
- **Pricing without execution leaves revenue on the table**: There's a whole cottage industry of revenue consultants whose job is to interpret PriceLabs output and orchestrate channels, packages, and minimum stays. TIDY's AI does the orchestration in-platform, 24/7 — no consultant required.
- **One lever, not the whole property**: Listing optimization, automated upsells (early check-in, late checkout, mid-stay cleans), guest experience, and turnover quality are all separate problems PriceLabs doesn't touch. TIDY runs them all.

## 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

> I had PriceLabs dialed in and was still spending most weekends coordinating cleans and answering guest messages at 11pm. TIDY runs all of it, pricing included — I dropped the whole stack.

## FAQ

### Does TIDY include dynamic pricing like PriceLabs?

Yes. TIDY's AI optimizes pricing continuously across your channels, with no separate subscription. It's built into the 3.9%, alongside cleaning, maintenance, and guest messaging.

### TIDY costs more than PriceLabs in absolute dollars — why switch?

PriceLabs is just pricing. TIDY at 3.9% includes pricing AND replaces your property manager — cleaning ops, maintenance routing, guest messaging, listing optimization, direct booking. If you'd ever pay anyone to manage your property, TIDY is the cheapest way to do it.

### Can I keep using PriceLabs alongside TIDY?

Yes — in fact TIDY layers on top of engines like PriceLabs. It takes that dedicated-grade pricing and optimizes beyond it, then acts on it across channels, packages, and the whole property. Many hosts find they no longer need a separate subscription, but you can keep PriceLabs as a data source.

### What about PriceLabs' market data and comp sets?

TIDY's revenue optimization layers on top of those signals and goes beyond standalone pricing — it acts on them across your whole operation and can shift strategy (short-, mid-, or long-term) to maximize revenue, not just nightly rate.
