The short version

  • Each has a real cost: DPGO the 0.5% and per booked night plans are invoiced every two weeks, which produces twenty six variable invoices a year and is awkward for anyone doing simple monthly bookkeeping.; TrustYou pricing is not published at any tier, so a single hotel cannot compare it against cheaper reputation tools without entering a sales process.
  • They diverge on capability: DPGO covers AI rate generation, TrustYou covers Review aggregation.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 31 August 2026.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

DPGO

  • The 0.5% and per booked night plans are invoiced every two weeks, which produces twenty six variable invoices a year and is awkward for anyone doing simple monthly bookkeeping.
  • Market analytics are thin compared with larger competitors, so you get a recommended rate without much tooling to interrogate why or to define your own comparable set.
  • The integration list is shorter than PriceLabs or Wheelhouse, so operators on less common property management systems may have to push rates manually or not at all.
  • Recommendation quality drops sharply in low-density markets where there are too few comparable listings for the model to learn from, and there is little warning when this is the case.
  • It is a pricing engine only, with no length of stay optimisation across a portfolio or channel-level yield strategy, so professional managers usually run it alongside other tools rather than instead of them.

TrustYou

  • Pricing is not published at any tier, so a single hotel cannot compare it against cheaper reputation tools without entering a sales process.
  • Review syncing is not instant, and delays between a review appearing publicly and appearing in the dashboard undermine the case for using it as an operational alert system.
  • Reporting is inflexible next to a general analytics tool, and groups that want a custom cut of the data often export it rather than build the view inside TrustYou.
  • The newer customer data platform modules overlap heavily with functionality in modern property management systems and hotel CRMs, so buyers risk paying twice for guest profile unification.
  • Much of the underlying review data is now retrievable free through Google Business Profile and OTA extranets, which makes the value proposition rest entirely on analysis and workflow rather than access.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

DPGO: Which billing model is cheapest?

It depends on occupancy. At $1 per booked night you pay $18 only if a listing is booked eighteen nights a month, so low-occupancy listings should use Fixed or Pay as You Go and high-occupancy ones the flat fee.

TrustYou: How much does TrustYou cost?

It is quoted. Historical directory listings mention entry figures around 75 US dollars a month for a small property, but the vendor does not publish a rate card and group pricing is negotiated.

DPGO: Does it push rates to Airbnb?

Yes, directly, and to Vrbo and through supported property management systems.

TrustYou: Does it respond to reviews for me?

It drafts responses and publishes them back to source channels, but a human still approves them unless you configure otherwise.

DPGO: Is there a trial?

30 days, with no card required.

TrustYou: Is the score syndication worth it?

It is one of the more defensible parts of the product, because showing verified review content on a direct booking page counters the social proof advantage OTAs hold.

DPGO: Does it handle minimum stay rules?

It sets nightly rates and orphan gap pricing. Length of stay strategy is limited compared with a full revenue management system.

TrustYou: Do I need it if I use Google Business Profile?

Google gives you your own reviews free. TrustYou adds cross-source aggregation, competitor benchmarking and category-level sentiment, which is the part you are paying for.
