A flat $99 a listing. Never a percentage of what you earn.
One number, published, so you can work out your bill before you talk to anyone. There is a $990 a month minimum engagement and no minimum number of listings. No setup fee, no lock-in, 30 days notice.
You start at nothing, and you pay nothing until we have proven we can generate five times our fee in booking revenue, measured against a frozen snapshot of your numbers from the day we start that you keep a copy of.
That is a proof standard, not a promise about your revenue. We make no guarantee of any specific figure. What we guarantee is that you do not start paying until the number is on the table.
What it costs next to everything else
The comparison people usually make is against a pricing tool, and on price alone a tool wins every time. It should: it is software and you are the one operating it. The honest comparison is between the options where somebody other than you does the work.
| Option | 10 listings | 25 listings | 50 listings |
|---|---|---|---|
| UpRev flat $99 a listing, $990 a month minimum |
$990 | $2,475 | $4,950 |
| Pricing software you run yourself about $19.99 a listing, plus your time every week |
$200 | $500 | $999 |
| A percentage tool 1.25% of booking revenue, plus your time every week |
$313 | $781 | $1,563 |
| Full-service property manager 10% of booking revenue, and they take the owner relationship |
$2,500 | $6,250 | $12,500 |
| Hiring a revenue manager one salaried person, fully loaded |
$6,250 | $6,250 | $6,250 |
Read the bottom row carefully. Around fifty listings, hiring your own revenue manager stops being more expensive than us, and at that size you should genuinely price it up. A good in-house hire beats an average vendor. We would rather tell you that than find out you worked it out later.
Why flat and not a percentage
A percentage vendor gets more expensive every time they do their job well. Add $20,000 a month to a portfolio on a 1.25% deal and you have just given yourself a $250 a month pay rise, paid by the client, for succeeding. We think that is a strange thing to sell. A flat fee means your return on us improves as the results improve, and it means you can budget next year today.
- Pricing run on every listing, every week, by Jack Murphy and his desk.
- Minimum stays, gap nights and orphan nights worked deliberately rather than left on defaults.
- A monthly portfolio report measuring you against a snapshot of your own numbers frozen on day one.
- Owner-facing reports under your brand, so your owners hear it from you.
- We work with whatever stack you already run. You keep your own accounts and your own data.
- Your own tooling subscriptions. You keep those accounts in your name, and you pay for them directly, which is how you keep your data if you ever leave us.
- Guest communication, cleaning, maintenance or anything else operational. We price. You manage.
- Portfolios outside the United States, for now.
We only start where the numbers already show a gap. If yours do not, we tell you straight and we do not start. It is not a sales technique. A portfolio already priced well has little room left in it, and taking that money would mean failing the five times standard and working for free until you left. Jack Murphy runs the call and will tell you on it.
Questions about the money
How much does UpRev cost?
A flat $99 per listing per month, with a $990 a month minimum engagement. No percentage of your revenue, no setup fee, no lock-in, 30 days notice. And you pay nothing until we have proven we can generate five times our fee in booking revenue, measured against a frozen snapshot of your numbers from the day we start that you keep a copy of.
Is there a minimum number of listings?
No. The minimum is $990 a month, which at $99 a listing is ten listings worth. A smaller portfolio can start, it just pays the $990, so below about ten listings you are paying above the list rate. We will say so on the call rather than let you find out later.
Why a flat fee instead of a percentage of revenue?
Because a percentage quietly punishes the thing we are hired to do. Every dollar we add to your revenue makes a percentage vendor more expensive, so your bill grows exactly as fast as our results. A flat fee means the better we do, the better your return on us gets. It is also the only model where you can work out next year’s cost today.
What does "you pay nothing until proven" actually mean?
It means you pay nothing until we have proven we can generate five times our fee in booking revenue, measured against a frozen snapshot of your numbers from the day we start that you keep a copy of. We measure it on the nights actually available to be sold across your listings in the relevant thirty day period, and it is written into the contract, not just the website.
