The short version

  • Each has a real cost: PriceLabs the market dashboard is a separate subscription from the pricing engine, so the widely quoted 19.99 figure is not what most serious users pay per listing.; 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: PriceLabs covers Dynamic nightly pricing, TrustYou covers Review aggregation.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 31 August 2026.

What people use each for

The jobs each tool is most often brought in to do.

Where each one falls short

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

PriceLabs

  • The market dashboard is a separate subscription from the pricing engine, so the widely quoted 19.99 figure is not what most serious users pay per listing.
  • The revenue share alternative at one per cent of bookings is a poor deal for high average daily rate properties, where it can cost several times the per-listing price.
  • Market data quality collapses in destinations with few tracked listings, which is precisely where an owner has the least pricing intuition of their own.
  • It will happily discount to zero margin if the base price and minimum are set carelessly, and the tool does not know your cost base, so an inattentive user can lose money faster than they would manually.
  • It prices but does not distribute or manage; you still need a PMS or channel manager underneath, and rate push failures between the two systems are a recurring support burden.

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

PriceLabs: What does PriceLabs cost for ten listings?

Around 19.99 US dollars per listing per month at that volume for dynamic pricing, plus about 9.99 per market for the dashboard if you want the competitor data.

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.

PriceLabs: Should I take the one per cent revenue share instead?

Only if your average nightly rate and occupancy are low. On a listing earning 40,000 dollars a year the revenue share costs roughly 400 dollars against about 240 for the per-listing plan.

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.

PriceLabs: Does it work for hotels?

It connects to Cloudbeds and similar systems and is used by small properties, but it is built around rental demand signals rather than hotel segmentation and forecasting.

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.

PriceLabs: Can I override the algorithm?

Extensively. Base price, minimum and maximum, seasonal profiles and day-of-week adjustments are all directly editable and reusable across a portfolio.

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.
