StayMetrics
Read full descriptionHide full description
Every night your place sits empty costs you the nightly rate. Every gap night your minimum-stay rule creates costs you the same. Most short-term rental hosts adjust one setting at a time and hope the numbers work out. StayMetrics does the math for you. Set a nightly rate, an occupancy level, and a minimum-stay requirement. See what the combination is likely to earn โ weekly or yearly, updated as you drag the sliders. The minimum-stay analysis shows what your policy actually costs. Raising a two-night minimum to three or four cuts turnover, but it also creates gap nights that can't be booked. StayMetrics quantifies both sides so you can decide which trade-off makes sense for your property. Built for hosts already listing on Airbnb, Vrbo, or direct โ but useful earlier too, if you're thinking about listing a place and want to see what different pricing scenarios might return. StayMetrics runs on iPhone and iPad. No account, no sign-up, no data leaves your device.
