UpRev vs RevFactor
This is the one genuine like-for-like on the site: two done-for-you services, both running pricing on portfolios their clients still own and operate. We are one of them, so read accordingly. The short version is that RevFactor is cheaper and we can prove more, and which of those matters depends on the size of your portfolio.
UpRev is one of the options below, so treat this the way you would treat any comparison written
by a contender. What we have done about it: every competitor price here is one they publish
themselves, every entry carries a real weakness including ours, and the verdicts below send you
elsewhere wherever that is the right answer.
RevFactor
$350 a month flat, plus $150 onboarding.
A managed revenue service working across short-term rental portfolios.
Strong at. Materially cheaper than us at any portfolio size, and the published methodology is genuinely thoughtful rather than marketing. For a smaller portfolio it is the lowest-cost way to stop doing this yourself.
Weak at. A flat account fee rather than a per-listing one means the attention each listing gets has to thin out as your portfolio grows. Reporting is not published, so you cannot see what a client actually got before you sign.
UpRev this is us
$99 per listing per month, $990 a month minimum, and nothing until the result is proven.
A done-for-you desk built only for vacation rental managers, run by Jack Murphy since 2017.
Strong at. We publish the actual client reports, redacted but with every number left in, including portfolios that went backwards. Per-listing pricing means the attention scales with the portfolio rather than thinning.
Weak at. More expensive than RevFactor at every size, and the $990 minimum makes us the wrong answer below about ten listings. US portfolios only.
The thing to compare, if you only compare one
Ask both of us the same question: what will you measure me against, and can I see a real client report before I sign? Any service can describe a process. The difference shows up in whether the measurement is against a snapshot of your own portfolio frozen on day one, or against the market and last year, both of which move on their own. We publish ours because it is the only claim on this page a stranger can check.
So which one
Straight answers, including the ones that send you elsewhere
| If this is you | Pick |
|---|
| You run fewer than about ten listings |
RevFactor. Our minimum makes us the wrong choice and we would rather say so. |
| Budget is the binding constraint |
RevFactor, comfortably. |
| You want to see evidence before you commit |
Us, because we publish it and they do not. |
| You are past about fifty listings |

How to check any of this
We publish our client reports across 9 markets, redacted for privacy with every
figure left untouched, including the portfolios that went backwards. It is the only claim on this
page you can verify without taking somebody's word for it, which is exactly why it is there.
Questions
Is UpRev or RevFactor better?
Different shapes. RevFactor is cheaper at every portfolio size and is the sensible pick for a smaller portfolio or a tight budget. UpRev prices per listing so attention scales with the portfolio, is built only for vacation rental managers, and publishes real client reports so the results are checkable before you sign. Under ten listings, take RevFactor.
Why would a company recommend a competitor?
Because taking a portfolio we cannot help is worse for us than sending it elsewhere. We work free until we have proven the result, so a client we cannot move is one we work for at no charge until they leave. Saying no early is the commercially rational thing to do, not a generous one.
Can I see results before I sign?
From us, yes: every report on our proof page is a real client document, redacted for privacy with every figure left untouched, including the months that went badly. That is unusual in this category and it is the main reason to pick us.
