## What Wheelhouse is

Wheelhouse predicts prices and shows market insights. TIDY acts on them — and runs the rest of the property — for 3.9%.

## What TIDY is

## Common complaints about Wheelhouse

- **Predictions only matter if someone acts on them**: Wheelhouse shows you what rates to set. You (or your PM) still need to push them across channels, test packages, and adjust minimum stays. TIDY's AI both predicts AND executes, in one platform.
- **One lever, paid by the listing or as 1% of revenue**: $19.99/listing/mo (Pro Flat) or 1% of revenue (Pro Flex, $2.99 minimum) gets you a pricing dashboard. Cleaning scheduling, maintenance routing, guest messaging, listing optimization, direct booking — all separate spend on top.
- **Insights aren't income**: Beautiful market charts feel productive; revenue lifts come from the loop — pricing → channel update → upsell → turnover quality → review. TIDY closes the whole loop.
- **You're still the property manager**: Wheelhouse is a tool. You're still the manager, juggling cleaners, vendors, and guest replies. For a few thousand more a year than Wheelhouse alone, TIDY replaces the manager work itself with AI + your existing pros.

## 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

> Wheelhouse had me staring at charts and tweaking rates manually. With TIDY the pricing just happens — plus everything else I used to do as the manager. Net per booking is up, and my Sundays are mine again.

## FAQ

### Does TIDY produce pricing as smart as Wheelhouse?

Yes — TIDY's revenue optimization is dedicated-grade. It layers on top of leading pricing engines like PriceLabs and optimizes beyond them, then adds the execution layer: pushing rates across Airbnb/VRBO, testing packages, and adjusting minimum stays automatically.

### Can I keep Wheelhouse and just add TIDY?

You can, but most hosts drop Wheelhouse. TIDY's AI replaces the pricing decision AND executes it, and you stop paying per-listing or revshare fees on top of TIDY's 3.9%.

### TIDY costs more than Wheelhouse — why is it worth it?

Wheelhouse is pricing only. TIDY's 3.9% includes pricing AND replaces your manager (cleaning, maintenance, guests). The fair comparison is "Wheelhouse + a PM" vs TIDY — TIDY wins by a lot on cost and coverage.

### What about Wheelhouse's market dashboards?

TIDY shows you pricing, occupancy, and revenue performance, plus the operational health of your property (cleaning quality, maintenance backlog, review trends). Wheelhouse's dashboards are pricing-only.
