Airbnb takes 14%you get the leftovers

Your StayHive subscription is a flat monthly fee — $39, $69 or $99. We charge a small 1–1.5% platform fee on direct bookings through your Property Page (it covers Stripe infrastructure and keeps the lights on). Compare that to Airbnb's combined 14%+ and you're keeping the vast majority of every booking.

StayHive connects to your Airbnb, Stayz, VRBO and Booking.com calendars via iCal — the same format the platforms already use. We sync automatically every few hours and check for conflicts every time. When a booking is paid through your Property Page, every connected calendar blocks instantly. No manual steps. No "I forgot to update Stayz."

They pick dates, fill in their details, and pay securely via Stripe. You get an email immediately. Their card is charged. Your Airbnb, Stayz and all connected calendars block those dates within seconds. The guest gets a confirmation email. You get the money. Everybody wins. (Except Airbnb, which is fine.)

Absolutely not. Paste your Airbnb URL and StayHive builds your Property Page automatically — photos, description, amenities, rates, the lot. Takes about 60 seconds. If you want to customise it, you can. If you don't, it's already good to go.

Having an independent Property Page that ranks in Google is completely different from redirecting guests away from Airbnb from within an Airbnb listing description — which you shouldn't do. StayHive hosts compete with Airbnb the same way any independent hotel website competes with Booking.com: by being findable, bookable, and better value. We recommend you confirm the specifics with your own legal advice.

Starter is $39/month. If a single direct booking saves your guest $200 in Airbnb fees and earns you $26 more, they'll remember that. And next time, they'll come direct. Most Starter hosts find the plan pays for itself within the first booking month.
