How much does Airbnb revenue management cost?
By Jack Murphy, Head of Revenue Management. Prices checked October 2026.
It depends on how much of the work you are buying. A pricing tool you run yourself costs about $19.99 a listing a month, and the weekly work stays yours. A done-for-you revenue service runs the pricing for you, priced per listing, per property or as a share of revenue. A full-service property manager takes 10 to 25% of revenue, because it is running the whole property, not just the price. Every figure below is the vendor's own published price.
A done-for-you revenue service
Priced per listing, per property, or as a share of revenue.
Someone else runs the pricing on the listings you keep. You keep your guests, your owners and your operation.
A full-service property manager
10 to 25% of revenue.
The whole property: pricing, guests, cleaning and the owner relationship. For a manager, a competitor rather than a supplier.

What is the average short-term rental management fee?
Also asked as: What is the average vacation rental management fee? · What is a typical Airbnb management fee?
We have not found a published average we can check, so we do not quote one. What the managers publish themselves is a range of 10 to 25% of revenue for full service, with the lower rates covering less of the work. Ask what the percentage includes before comparing two of them.
What the price does not tell you
Two services at the same price can be worth very different amounts, so compare what each will measure you against. Revenue against last year or against the market moves on its own. The only fair test is your own numbers, frozen the day the work starts, with you holding a copy.
Prices checked October 2026, each at the vendor’s own site. If we have something wrong about your company, tell us and we will correct it.
