Beyond

Great Product to Dynamically Price

Commentaires : Works great for my needs. It delivers enough of a revenue boost to well justify the cost.

Avantages :

Beyond Pricing is just that...it's a superior alternative to Airbnb SmartPricing. Beyond Pricing works on the behalf of hosts...not the platform. This productive definitely increased my nightly rate. It integrates pricing from more sources than the OTAs.

Inconvénients :

Beyond Pricing continues to improve and they regularly add features. They aren't every market, and some markets are geographically broad. You can set it and forget it with your high season. I've found the pricing then to be very accurate. In the off season I feel like seasonality can be so hyper-local that it doesn't perform quite as well there. They recently added functionality to blanket discount over their predicted price for dates you set...I'm hoping that helps with some of the seasonality issues.

Easy to Use- Great Occupancy Rates

Commentaires : I like this product and how easy it is to use. All of the features and information are extremely helpful.

Avantages :

I like the dynamic pricing and the accuracy of rates. My occupancy stays over 85% and Beyond saves me so much time in making that happen.

Inconvénients :

The cost is really hard for me to handle. I have a lot of properties and what I pay out to Beyond really hurts.

Horrible Customer service and the platrofm had far too many glitches

Commentaires : terrible, don't use them find another service

Avantages :

Its a great concept and can be very useful for pricing airbnb and VRBO based on supply and demand

Inconvénients :

Their platform has many syncing issues and you have to frequently check that the prices reflected in Air BNB and VRBO are correct. This defeats the hands off automated approach you are paying for. They also have inaccurate dates for events in your town, this will jack up prices without justification or will not reflect the high-demand prices which will cause you to lose money either way. On top of this, they have horrible customer service. This is like the old days of cable tv horrible customer service. Things were great for the first 8 months I used beyond, however once I started seeing the issues and bringing them to their attention I was flabergasted by the horrible response times, the lack of help, and the ineptness to solve problems in a way that would keep customers.

Tip of the iceberg

Commentaires : We use Beyond mainly for dynamic pricing but we know there are several features we are yet to fully utilize but feel we will be able to in time.

Avantages :

The dynamic pricing tool works well for what we use it for. We have over 30 listings soon to be 40 before the end of the year and it has helped us stay competitive and capitalize as many bookings as possible.

Inconvénients :

The calendar navigation is a bit tedious but recently saw they are making changes to help with that. Looking forward to seeing those changes.

Recommended to anyone managing vacation rental units

Avantages :

The most impactful feature is how easy it easy to connect to the different accounts and set up the prices.

Inconvénients :

It would be perfect if they added a feature that would allow for price to sync in different platforms, with a % differential for each one
