I have not used this service yet. I do use another that appears to be similar: HiChee.

In fact, I was an early subscriber to the system.

I would be interested in learning the similarities/differences between the two.

What is the customer-facing URL?

I read $6/property but $50/month minimum.

Hi Donna,

The difference is that the price comparison tool lives on your own website and shows up on property page at the time the user is requesting a price quote. 

Cheers, 

Josh

I don't use this service because I already have that function with my direct booking site.

This should be natively support in OwnerRez, they already do a rate analyzer. Vote below!

*Do not support this cash grab offering. $50 minimum spend a month.

I would gladly pay the $6/mo per property for this, but the $50 minimum per website is a non-starter. I have two STR properties that are in different states. As a result, each has its own direct booking website to optimize for organic traffic via localized content.

do you have this integrated on your website? If so can you share your site?
I've added all my properties but doesn't do comparison within my own website

I use houfy.com for my direct site. 3 different levels, very minimal charges, Free, $3/mo/listing, $5/mo/listing. No mind you they do not promote like Airbnb, VRBO, or Bookings. I do my own and seems to work for me.

My site is https://www.houfy.com/l/our-rentals
