Airbnb Pricing & Revenue Management Australia-wide

Yes. Revenue management (pricing and the listing) works anywhere in the world, because we work through your listing and pricing software online.

Yes. Every revenue management client gets their own live portal: a private page for your property showing bookings, earnings, prices, how you compare with homes nearby and every change we make, with the reason. You stay in charge: accounts stay in your name and every change comes with the reason.

Most revenue managers charge a percentage of what the home earns. PriceLabs’ own guide, When to Hire an Airbnb Revenue Manager (updated September 2026), puts it at about 5% to 8% of total revenue for small portfolios and 1% to 3% for larger ones. Ours is a flat monthly fee: $150 for your first 3 months, then $250 a month for one listing, GST included, and less per listing as you add more. Illustrative example: on a home earning $80,000 a year, 5% would be $4,000; our fee at the full rate is $3,000 a year.

When your calendar has gaps mid-week or outside the school holidays, your peak nights book out months ahead (usually a sign they’re too cheap), your prices haven’t changed since you set them, or you don’t have time to check the market every week. A free listing check shows what you’re leaving behind.

They do different jobs. Smart Pricing is Airbnb’s own tool and prices your Airbnb listing alone. PriceLabs adds seasons, events, minimum stays and gap-night rules on top of your minimum price, and sends the same prices to Booking.com and Vrbo through your channel manager. We set it up and run it for you.

PriceLabs is software: it suggests a price for every night from market data, but it is as good as its settings, no better. A revenue manager decides those settings (base price, seasons, events, minimum stays and discounts), checks the results against similar homes nearby and changes what isn’t working. That part is what we do for you.

You get a monthly report on what we changed, why, and what it did to your bookings, plus regular check-in meetings. Your live revenue portal shows bookings, earnings, prices and how you compare with homes nearby as it happens, so you never have to take our word for it.

PriceLabs charges a flat monthly fee per listing, with no commission and no long-term contract, and starts with a free 30-day trial. Expect about US$20 a month for one listing. It’s paid in your name, separate from our fee, so the account stays yours if you ever leave.

PriceLabs keeps a directory of revenue managers it has verified to set up and run its software for owners. WTP is a verified PriceLabs Revenue Management Partner, rated 5/5 from 16 reviews on that directory, so you can read what other owners say before you talk to us.

Both are dynamic pricing tools that set a price for every night from market data. We run PriceLabs because we’re a verified PriceLabs partner and it connects with most booking systems and channel managers, including OwnerRez. Either tool is as good as its settings, no better: base price, minimum price, seasons, events and stay rules.

Price each night by demand instead of one rate all year. Start from what similar homes nearby charge guests in total, cleaning included, set a minimum price, lift weekends, holidays and local events, price quiet nights to fill, and use minimum stays and gap-night rules that suit how guests book. Then check the results and adjust.

Two common signs: your peak dates book out months ahead, and you rarely have an empty night even mid-week. Search Airbnb for a real 2-night stay in your area and compare what guests pay in total, cleaning included, from cheapest to dearest. If your home sits near the cheapest end with better reviews or more space, it’s probably too cheap. A free listing check shows where you sit.

There’s no single right number. A full calendar at low prices can earn less than a higher price with a few empty nights. We aim for the most income over the year, so we look at occupancy, nightly rate and revenue together against similar homes in your area, rather than chasing 100% booked.

Yes. Property managers and holiday-rental companies can hand us the pricing for their whole book while their own team keeps running guests, cleaning and owners. Each listing is priced on its own market in PriceLabs, and the fee per listing falls as the book grows: after the intro months, $200 each for listings 2–10, $100 each for 11–20, $75 each for 21–50 and $40 each for 51+, GST included for Australian clients.

Yes. Pricing and listing work are done online from live market data in PriceLabs, so your home doesn’t need to be near us. We work with hosts worldwide, in countries like Australia, New Zealand, the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Ireland and more. You or your own team keep running the home locally.

It is when better pricing earns you more than the fee. For one listing that’s $150 a month for the first 3 months, then $250 a month, GST included. On many homes one or two extra booked nights a month, or better weekend and holiday prices, covers that. A free listing check shows what your home is leaving behind before you decide.

No. After the intro months the first listing is $250 a month and listings 2–10 are $200 each. During your first 3 months it’s $150 for the first listing and $125 each for listings 2–10. Prices include GST for Australian clients, and the fee calculator on this page shows your exact monthly total.

Dynamic pricing changes your nightly price every day instead of leaving one rate on the calendar. The software looks at demand in your area, local events, school holidays, how far away the night is, what similar listings charge and how your own bookings are tracking. It then moves the price up or down inside the minimum and maximum we agree with you. We check the results and adjust the settings for your home.

It depends on the home and the season. Weekly and monthly discounts can fill long gaps, and last-minute discounts can fill nights that would stay empty, but a blanket discount on every night usually costs you income. We set discounts night by night from booking pace and demand, and review them as the calendar fills.

The usual causes are a price that is too high for the dates, minimum stay rules that block short gaps, photos or a title that don’t stand out in search, few or weak reviews, or a calendar that is out of date. We audit your listing and your pricing against similar homes nearby, show you what is holding bookings back and fix the pricing and listing side. See what it costs.

If you list on more than one site, such as Airbnb, Booking.com and Vrbo, a channel manager keeps the calendars and prices in sync so you don’t get double bookings. It costs about $55 a month and sits in your name. Pricing software is about $20 a month. Once you fill in our checklist, we help you set the channel manager up.

Vacation rental revenue management means setting the price and stay rules for every night of a holiday home from live market data, so it earns the most across the year. It covers dynamic pricing, minimum stays, discounts and listing fixes, and it works the same for one holiday home or a whole book of rentals.

We run the system for you. Your pricing software (about US$20 a month) is set up in your name, and we manage it every day: base price, minimum price, seasons, events and stay rules. Your live revenue portal shows bookings, prices and how you compare with nearby homes, so you don’t have to learn the software.
