PriceLabs

Overview

PriceLabs is a dynamic pricing and revenue management service for short-term rental hosts, property managers, and hotels. It is strongest for operators who want nightly pricing recommendations and portfolio and market analysis in one system. Daily repricing and broad platform connections are compelling, though per-listing billing and the single included automated sync per day deserve close attention.

Key features

PriceLabs’ Hyper Local Pulse algorithm uses market data and customizable pricing rules to recommend rates night by night. It recalculates prices and minimum stays daily, then syncs them automatically. That routine can reduce the work of adjusting listings individually, but it is not a real-time repricing service: the standard plan includes just one automated sync daily. Extra automated syncs cost $1.00 per listing per month; manual syncs are free and unlimited.

Portfolio Analytics tracks occupancy, average daily rate (ADR), and revenue per available room (RevPAR), with pacing comparisons against the prior year and the market. Market Dashboards provide ready-made or custom views and competitor comparisons through comp sets with 40+ filters. These tools make PriceLabs useful beyond rate recommendations for managers who need to monitor portfolio performance and market position.

PriceLabs connects directly to Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo, and more than 160 property-management systems and channel managers. Its iOS and Android apps support price checks, calendar views, and quick edits. Customer API usage is a separate $1.00 per listing per month add-on, so API-dependent operators should include that in their costs.

PriceLabs says its support team is available 24×5 and offers free online training and group sessions. Its GDPR FAQ says personal data is processed for account creation, product use, and support, and retained only as long as necessary.

Pricing

PriceLabs has a free plan and a 30-day Dynamic Pricing trial that requires no credit card. After the trial, billing is based on listings that successfully sync prices during the billing cycle, and users can cancel anytime. The displayed Dynamic Pricing price is $14.49 a month, billed at $14.49 per listing per month plus taxes; the displayed price varies by location and synced listings. The entry-level paid price is $9.99/mo, so check the displayed price for your account before committing.

Dynamic Pricing includes daily pricing updates, market data, occupancy forecasting, revenue forecasting, and one automated sync per day. The per-listing charge makes costs rise with a portfolio, while additional automated syncs and customer API usage add $1.00 per listing per month apiece. The free plan is the lower-cost way to start, but the 30-day trial is the clear route to evaluate the paid Dynamic Pricing service before billing begins.

Platforms

PriceLabs supports web, iOS, Android, and API. The mobile apps are for checking prices, viewing calendars, and making quick edits; API use carries an additional per-listing monthly charge.

Who it's for

PriceLabs is a strong fit for short-term rental hosts and property managers who want daily rate and minimum-stay adjustments, broad connections to booking channels or PMSs, and analytics for occupancy and revenue. Hotels are also within its stated audience. It is less suited to operators who need multiple automated price pushes each day without extra fees, or who need customer API usage included in the base charge.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Daily price and minimum-stay recalculations can automate routine listing adjustments.
• Pros: Portfolio Analytics and filter-rich competitor dashboards pair revenue tracking with market comparisons.
• Pros: Direct connections to major booking channels and more than 160 PMSs and channel managers offer broad integration options.
• Cons: Only one automated sync per day is included; more frequent automated updates cost extra.
• Cons: Billing is per successfully synced listing, and API usage is an additional per-listing charge.
• Cons: The displayed price varies by location and synced listings, complicating cost estimates before account-specific pricing is checked.

Alternatives

Compare property management revenue management software if you want to consider the broader category.

Choose Beyond if a free plan for market and listing insights is enough to start: its free plan does not change prices, while Growth is billed at 1% of bookings.

Wheelhouse is another freemium option, with a free account for connecting listings and viewing market reports and pricing insights; its Dynamic Sets plan is billed per set.

Consider Entrata for a property management platform with a demo-led sales process. RentVision Revenue Management and ApartmentIQ Daylight use contact- or demo-based pricing, with Daylight pushing approved prices to a PMS. RealPage Student is a student housing platform with sales-led pricing. SK Dynamica | SmartRates and Optipricer are also paid alternatives.

Verdict

Choose PriceLabs if you manage rental listings and want daily automated pricing backed by portfolio and competitor analysis, with connections across major booking channels and many PMSs. Look elsewhere if your operation needs more than one included automated sync per day or predictable costs independent of listing count and add-ons.
