Smart Pricing prices for Airbnb. A real strategy prices for you. We build one in the tool you choose, PriceLabs, Wheelhouse or our own Dynamic Pricing, so every night on your calendar earns what it should across Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com.
The strategy is the same revenue management method either way. Pick PriceLabs or Wheelhouse and we build it inside the tool you already pay for, or run it all in one place with Revenuenaire Dynamic Pricing.
Keep PriceLabs and have a revenue manager build the whole strategy inside it with you on Zoom: base, minimum and maximum prices, seasonal and event rules, gap nights, length-of-stay discounts and channel markups.
Prefer Wheelhouse? We build the same revenue management strategy in it: market-aligned base prices, demand and seasonality rules, minimum stays, orphan-gap fills and per-channel markups, explained rule by rule.
Would rather not run a separate tool? Our own pricing engine prices every night from market data, seasonality and demand signals and pushes the rates to your channels, with a live calendar and one-click revert.
An Airbnb pricing strategy is the set of rules that decides what every night on your calendar should earn: a base price that reflects your market position, seasonal and event adjustments, how far ahead and how last-minute the price should move, minimum stays that protect weekends without blocking gaps, orphan-day and gap-night rules, length-of-stay discounts, and markups per channel so a Booking.com or Vrbo booking nets the same as an Airbnb one.
Airbnb Smart Pricing is not that. It is one demand dial between a floor and ceiling you set, tuned to win bookings for Airbnb, and it ignores your other channels, the events you know about and the economics of longer stays. Pricing tools like PriceLabs, Wheelhouse and Revenuenaire Dynamic Pricing can execute a real strategy, but out of the box they run on defaults built for an average listing in an average market, and yours is neither. The gap between a default and a strategy built for your property is usually 15 to 40 percent of annual revenue.
This page is where that strategy gets built. Book an expert setup in PriceLabs or Wheelhouse, run our own software, or hand it to our team. If you also want the strategy behind hotels and every short-term rental service in one place, see dynamic pricing strategy and the STR pricing hub.

Everything hosts ask before choosing how to price.
An Airbnb pricing strategy is the full set of rules that decides what every night on your calendar earns: a market-aligned base price, seasonal and event adjustments, how prices move far out versus last minute, minimum stays and gap-night rules that fill orphan days, length-of-stay discounts, and channel markups so an Airbnb booking nets the same as a Booking.com or Vrbo one. It is the layer above any pricing tool: the tool moves the price, the strategy tells it how.
No. Airbnb Smart Pricing is a single demand dial with a floor and a ceiling you set, and it is known to push rates toward the low end to win bookings for Airbnb, not to maximize your revenue. It ignores Vrbo and Booking.com, seasonality you know about, local events, and length-of-stay economics. A real strategy, built in PriceLabs, Wheelhouse or Revenuenaire Dynamic Pricing, prices from live market data and your own rules across every channel, and typically lifts annual revenue 15 to 40 percent over defaults.
Both are excellent, and the strategy behind them matters more than the choice. PriceLabs has the deepest market data and rule customization and suits hosts and larger portfolios who want fine control; Wheelhouse is fast to set up with a clean interface and strong recommendations. We build the same revenue management strategy in either one, so pick the tool you prefer, or ask us and we will recommend based on your listing count and channels. If you would rather not run a separate tool, Revenuenaire Dynamic Pricing does it in one place.
A one-time expert setup in PriceLabs or Wheelhouse starts at $125 for one or two listings and is priced by listing count; a revisit for existing clients starts at $75. Revenuenaire Dynamic Pricing software is from $17.99 per active listing per month, falling to $4.49 as you scale. Fully managed pricing, where our team runs it daily, is quoted per portfolio.
They are part of it. We set minimum-stay rules that protect high-demand weekends and holidays without blocking your calendar, and gap-night and orphan-day rules that automatically drop the minimum and adjust the price to fill the one- and two-night holes between bookings that otherwise sit empty. Getting these right is often worth more than the base price itself.
Yes. The strategy sets one coherent rate across every channel you list on and applies per-channel markups so each booking nets the same after that channel's fees. Whether the rules run in PriceLabs, Wheelhouse or Revenuenaire Dynamic Pricing, prices and minimum stays sync to Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com through your channel manager or PMS.
Tell us your tool, your listing count and your channels. A revenue manager will point you to the right path, with no obligation.
