The Problem

You know you should book direct. You just don't have time to wire it all together.

The tools exist — Stripe, calendar sync, Google Vacation Rentals. But setting them up takes 15-20 hours of research and troubleshooting. Most hosts give up and keep paying Airbnb.

We eliminate the switching cost entirely.

The Math

The numbers don't lie.

As of April 2026, Airbnb charges hosts a mandatory 15.5% fee on every booking. Here's what that costs at three revenue levels — and how fast StayDirect pays for itself.

Revenue data from AirDNA 2025 · Airbnb host-only fee: 15.5% (mandatory since April 2026) · Stripe: 2.9% + 30¢

These numbers assume 100% of bookings move direct. Realistically, most hosts start by moving 30–50% of bookings direct while keeping Airbnb for discovery. Even at 40%, the average host saves $2,600/year — and that number grows as repeat guests learn to book direct.

Your Guests Win Too

The reason they'll come back direct.

When you offer a "book direct" discount, your guest saves real money on every stay — and you still earn more than you would through Airbnb. That's the flywheel: guest saves, you earn more, both skip the platform next time.

For returning guests who already know and trust your property, there's zero reason to go back through Airbnb and pay more — if a direct option exists with a visible price advantage.
