More revenue, without raising prices.
Three of our client listings, first half of 2026 against the same six months last year. None of them raised prices. They earned more because we filled more of their nights, earlier.

The method
How we price your listings.
Before we change a single price, we read every night your listing has ever sold. Every night belongs to a low, mid, or high demand market, and each one gets its own position against the listings guests actually compare you to. Then we manage those positions week after week, moving early when demand moves.
More from Q1 & Q2 2026
Six more client results.
Six more hosts who use r8 to earn more from the same listings, without the weekly pricing work.

How we chose these
We could have shown you our best numbers. A brand new listing doubling is easy to find and easy to sell. We show typical results from mature listings instead, because you should pick a revenue manager on what usually happens, not what once happened.
Across every mature listing we manage, about two in three beat last year.
The first six weeks are free. Start with two listings and watch what your numbers do.
Our Method
What a revenue manager
does for your listings.
In plain terms
Here’s the simplest way to say it. You have PriceLabs. We log into it as your revenue manager and run it for you.
Five years of pricing short-term rentals, applied to your listings, every week. Not a new tool. Not a replacement for PriceLabs. A team making better decisions with the data you already have.
The five decisions we make, condensed below.
Choose the right position.
We set low, mid, and peak percentile targets from your real ranking, then hold that position.
Move while demand exists.
We reposition early, while guests are still shopping, before discounts are the only lever left.
Beat your own number.
We ask whether your listing is ahead of its number from last year, and ignore everything else.
Build the comp set first.
R8 Vision filters for design, photos, amenities, performance, and booking velocity, so we track listings guests would actually choose between.
Show up every week.
Pricing compounds when percentile, pacing, and pace vs. goal get checked for every listing, every week.
Before and after
PriceLabs on its own vs
PriceLabs with us.
How most hosts run it
With r8 running it
On your ownA base price and a minimum price.
With r8Three positions per listing: low, mid, and high demand nights each get their own.
On your ownA generic comp set built on bedrooms and distance.
With r8A custom comp set of the listings guests actually compare you to, and that are actually taking bookings, not just asking high rates.
On your ownA stack of customizations you set once and rarely revisit.
With r8Customizations tuned listing by listing and revisited regularly.
On your ownSet once. Hope it holds.
With r8Reviewed and adjusted every week, while there is still time to act.
On your ownNobody watching whether you are ahead or behind.
With r8Tracked against your own numbers from last year, week by week.
On your ownEvery judgment call is yours to make.
With r8A revenue manager makes them for you and reports on WhatsApp.
The difference, measured: a typical mature listing compounds 10 to 25% a year with us. Underpriced listings have gained 25% to over 100% in their first year.
How it starts
Up and running in a week.
Day 1
You connect your PriceLabs account.
Days 2 and 3
We read each listing's entire history and learn its story: how it books, what it clears, and where money was left behind.
By day 7
We set your positions for low, mid, and high demand, build your comp set with R8 Vision, and tune every customization, seasonal length-of-stay included.
Every week after
We manage them week after week: reading the data, correcting course early, adapting as demand moves, and pushing each listing toward its best year.
A note from the founder
I've spent five years pricing short-term rentals, and the part that changes revenue is not the software. It is good judgment each week: when to hold, when to move, which comps to trust, and when the calendar is getting quiet. That is what I do for your listings. You see the work. If it does not lift the numbers, you should not keep paying for it.

FAQ
Questions we

Yes. We work inside your PriceLabs account. You see everything we do. Full transparency.
WhatsApp. We add you to a shared thread. Fast, simple, no email chains.
In their first year with us, underpriced mature listings have gained anywhere from 25% to over 100%. After that, a typical mature listing compounds around 10 to 25% a year. And when we quote results, we exclude year-two listings and one-off unicorns: only listings with at least three years of data make our case studies, so the numbers are ones you can trust. There's no contract either: if it isn't working, you leave that month.
Only if you want to be. Most clients fully hand off pricing and just review the weekly reports.
We typically work with hosts managing 4 or more Airbnb and Vrbo listings, especially 3BR+ homes in competitive US vacation rental markets.
PriceLabs is a great tool. But it's a tool. Most hosts set a base price and hope for the best. We build a custom comp-set per listing, position you at the right market percentile, develop a 12-month strategy, and adjust multiple times per week based on real pacing data. That's the difference between autopilot and having a short-term rental revenue manager.
No. We are a revenue management service for short-term rentals: pricing only. Cleaning, guest messages, and your listings stay with you or your property manager. We set the prices your Airbnb and Vrbo listings sell at.
