What’s the difference between the Manager and Host plans?

Manager is for businesses running properties on behalf of owners and landlords, and billing them — it adds the fee engine, owner statements, invoicing and a branded owner portal your clients log into. Host is for people running their own portfolio: the same functionality, without the owner-billing machinery you don’t need. If you charge owners a management fee, you want Manager.

Pricing

See what Host costs before you talk to anyone.

Q: How does pricing work — is it per property?

Yes. Manager is priced per property, per month, on graduated bands: your first properties are at the standard rate and later properties are charged at a lower rate, so your average per-property price falls as your portfolio grows. Move the slider and the live calculator shows your total. You’re billed a single charge monthly, in advance. “Annual” means you commit to 12 months per property for a lower rate but still pay monthly — never a lump sum up front. Third-party subscriptions are not included: you keep your own PriceLabs, Xero or QuickBooks subscription where required. Self-service covers up to 15 properties; for 16 or more, talk to us for portfolio pricing.

Q: Can I make it look like my own brand?

Yes, fully, on both editions. Brand Studio lets you set every colour in light and dark, pick from twelve font pairings and add your logos, and it applies across the app, the owner portal, emails and PDFs. Every workspace gets a free yourname.hosthq.uk address; the Custom Domain add-on connects a domain you already own, certificate included.

Per property, per month, with a lower rate on every property after the first. Move the slider, pick your billing, and the live number is the number you pay — channel sync, cost and payout tracking, analytics and a monthly P&L per property.

Rolling — change or cancel any month.

Properties

Rates are the total price payable per property a month. Prices include any applicable VAT. Complete and add-ons are charged on top. Third-party subscriptions are not included.

Complete adds the PriceLabs and accounting integrations, bundled at a better rate than buying them on their own.

Add-ons

Custom domain

Run your app and emails on a domain you own. Billed per workspace, not per property.

PriceLabs integration

Connect your PriceLabs API key for your area’s nightly price bands, occupancy and competitor context. We set this one up with you after signup, rather than in the app.

Accounting sync

Your invoices, credit notes and bills, sent from HostHQ to your own Xero or QuickBooks. You connect it yourself in Settings, Accounting.

Needs your own Xero or QuickBooks subscription. You stay responsible for checking your records, reconciling transactions and preparing your accounts and tax returns. HostHQ is software and does not give tax or accounting advice.

Complete includes HostHQ’s integrations, not your Xero, QuickBooks or PriceLabs subscription. You keep your own active PriceLabs, Xero or QuickBooks subscription where required.

The price on screen is the price you pay. No sales call to unlock it.

Per property, per month

You pay per property, per month, for the properties you actually run. Both editions are priced per property with a lower rate as your portfolio grows; Manager is self-service for smaller portfolios, with portfolio pricing for larger ones. Third-party subscriptions are not included.

Billed monthly, always in advance

One monthly charge. Add a property mid-month and it’s pro-rated straight into it; remove one and it stays live until the end of what you’ve already paid.

Annual is a commitment, not a lump sum

Choose annual for a lower per-property rate. You commit to twelve months per property — but you’re never asked for a year up front. It still bills monthly.

What’s in Core and Complete, on both editions.

The same table as the homepage, so you can price a plan and check what’s in it without leaving the page. A tick means it’s included, “Add-on” means you can buy it on that plan, a dash means it isn’t part of that edition.

Manager or Host?

Do you bill owners for managing their properties? Yes → Manager. No, they’re my own lets → Host.

Manager adds the owner-billing layer — per-property fee engine & agreements, automated owner statements, invoicing & chasing, white-label owner portal — on top of everything both editions share. Everything else below is the same on either.

FAQ

Questions we get asked

How does pricing work — is it per property?

Yes. Host is priced per property, per month: a first-property rate, then a lower rate for every property after it, so your average per-property price falls as your portfolio grows. Move the slider and the live calculator shows your total. You’re billed a single charge monthly, in advance. “Annual” means you commit to 12 months per property for a lower rate but still pay monthly — never a lump sum up front. Third-party subscriptions are not included.

What’s the difference between Core and Complete?

Core is the whole platform for your edition. Complete adds the PriceLabs integration, where you connect your PriceLabs API key for your area’s market context, and Accounting sync into Xero or QuickBooks — bundled to save 25% against adding the two separately. On Core you can add either one on its own. A custom domain is an add-on on any plan, billed per workspace rather than per property. Third-party subscriptions are not included: you keep your own active PriceLabs, Xero or QuickBooks subscription where required.

Which channel managers do you connect to?

Uplisting is live today. Connectors for Hostaway, Guesty, Hospitable, Hostfully and Lodgify are built and being switched on. You can also add properties manually if your setup isn’t listed yet.

Can I make it look like my own brand?

Yes, fully. Brand Studio lets you set every colour in light and dark, pick from twelve font pairings and add your logos, and it applies across the app, your emails and your guest invoices. Every workspace gets a free yourname.hosthq.uk address; the Custom Domain add-on connects a domain you already own, certificate included.

Can I try it before committing?

Every new workspace opens on a fully worked demo property — six months of bookings, costs and payouts — so you can see the whole app running before you add anything of your own. And there’s a 7-day, no-quibble money-back guarantee: if it’s not for you in the first week, we refund you.

What if I add or remove a property, or change my mind?

Add a property and it’s billed instantly, pro-rated into your monthly charge. Remove one and it stays live and billed until the end of the period you’ve already paid for, with a one-click undo any time before then. You can switch between Core and Complete yourself, and you’ll see the exact pro-rated charge before you confirm an upgrade.

Do you have a referral programme?

Yes, for every user. Every workspace comes with a referral code. When someone signs up with it, the credit comes straight off your own bill and they get a month free. We already have clients who pay nothing at all, because their referrals have covered their whole subscription. Terms and conditions apply.
