What results should you expect
from a revenue manager?
Verified numbers, typical listings, and how we chose them.
The short answer
Across the mature short-term rentals r8 Revenue Management prices, about two in three listings beat last year in the first half of 2026. First-year turnarounds of underpriced mature listings ran 25% to over 100%, and a typical mature listing compounds 10 to 25% a year after that. The listings below are typical results, not our best ones, and every figure is verified against source data.

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.
Methodology
How we verify.
Every number on this page comes from reservation data pulled straight from each client's PriceLabs account. Revenue is accommodation only: cleaning fees are excluded from both years. Figures are booked reservations, adjusted for cancellations, and each window is compared with the same window last year.
Selection is the honest kind. No year-two listings, no one-off outliers, and only listings with at least three years of data make our case studies. The two-in-three figure covers every mature listing we manage, including the ones that went down.
FAQ
