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 — 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 — 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.

WHAT USED TO TAKE 5 APPS IS NOW DONE WITH JUST A PICTURE. Why pay for and juggle separate apps for receipts, mileage, time clocks, fuel logs, and spreadsheets? XpenseDash replaces them all into one unified AI platform. Snap a photo—or share directly from email, text, or WhatsApp—and our specialized AI handles data entry instantly. When tax season arrives, CPA-ready reports with attached visual proof are one tap away. ONE POWERFUL ENGINE. TWO WAYS TO SCALE. Stop paying for five different subscriptions. Choose the path that fits your business: 1. The Flagship Suite (Pro & Teams) Total control and infinite scale. Build up to 1,000 custom ledgers to track complex operations, multiple properties, or distinct client budgets. Need to loop in the crew? Upgrade to Teams & Fleets for unlimited sharing with employees, partners, and bookkeepers. 2. Purpose-Built Industry Editions Tailor-made for your specific industry (Real Estate, Rideshare & Delivery, HSA, and more). We stripped away the noise and pre-configured the exact trackers, AI tax knowledge, and reporting structures you need. Zero setup required—just open the app and start logging. WHY YOU’LL LOVE XPENSEDASH: • DATA ENTRY, MINUS THE ENTRY No manual typing or complex menus. Point your camera at any receipt, odometer, fuel pump, or time sheet. Our AI extracts the details, verifies the timestamp, and drafts a complete ledger entry in 3 seconds. • SHARE FROM EMAIL, TEXT, OR WHATSAPP Got an invoice in Gmail, a receipt in WhatsApp, or a bill via text? Tap "Share" and send it straight to XpenseDash. Our AI parses and logs the file automatically. • TASK-SPECIFIC INTELLIGENCE Most apps push everything through one general-purpose "black box." XpenseDash routes data through dedicated visual engines custom-tuned for complex odometer dials, outdoor fuel pumps, and crumpled retail receipts. • INDISPUTABLE VISUAL PROOF GPS trackers fail and typed numbers get questioned. XpenseDash attaches the original photo of your receipt, odometer, or clock directly to every entry—providing bulletproof proof for tax season or IRS audits. • 1-CLICK CPA-READY TAX REPORTS Select your ledger, tap export, and download clean, CPA-ready PDF and CSV reports with your original photos attached. • WORKS OFFLINE, ANYWHERE In a basement or on a remote job site? Photos save instantly and sync automatically once you regain signal. You never lose a log. • YOUR DATA STAYS PRIVATE Bank-grade security keeps your records isolated. Your personal data is never used to train public AI models.
