Question 1

How does Halekeep pricing compare with Guesty?

Accepted Answer

Halekeep starts at $59/month with a 7-day free trial and no charge today. Guesty’s public pricing page describes tailored pricing, with Lite for 1–3 listings, Pro for 4–199 listings, and Enterprise for 200+ listings; the public page does not establish a like-for-like private minimum for those plans.

Question 2

Does Halekeep offer AI-assisted repricing like Guesty?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Halekeep’s published pricing workflow reviews live comps, makes nightly recommendations, and keeps the operator floor protected. Guesty’s revenue-management page describes AI-powered dynamic pricing informed by demand, seasonality, and events, plus rate automation and manual overrides.

Question 3

What should I expect from guest messaging in each platform?

Accepted Answer

Halekeep drafts replies from the conversation, reservation, and property context across Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com, and direct bookings, with human approval before sending. Guesty’s Unified Inbox page describes AI-powered replies through Guesty ReplyAI and AI Autopilot, plus a centralized inbox across OTA and other channels.

Question 4

How do Halekeep and Guesty approach turnover work?

Accepted Answer

Halekeep’s published turnover workflow dispatches a vetted cleaner after checkout, keeps the assignment attached, uses photo-backed inspection, and routes repair issues. Guesty’s Tasks Management page describes assigning and tracking cleaning and maintenance work; its public page does not establish the same photo-inspection workflow.

Question 5

Which operator is the better fit: an independent boutique host or a larger manager?

Accepted Answer

Halekeep’s published positioning is for independent hosts and boutique managers who want pricing, guest messaging, turnover dispatch, and accounting context connected. Guesty’s public pricing and enterprise pages explicitly frame Pro around 4–199 listings and Enterprise around 200+ listings, so the public material supports a larger-operator path without establishing a private minimum price.
