Airbnb pricing
Airbnb publishes 2 tiers. Below is each one, what it adds over the tier beneath it, and where the ladder stops being worth climbing for most people.
As of 29 August 2026, Airbnb pricing is $3/per-booking across 2 published tiers. Figures are the vendor's list prices as recorded on this page's last check; the vendor's site is the final word.

Airbnb plans, side by side
Every published tier in ascending order of price, with the number of features each one lists. An absence here means the record does not itemise it, not that the tier lacks it.
| Plan | Price | Features listed | Step up from the tier below |
|---|---|---|---|
| Split-Fee Model | $3/percent | 3 | Entry tier |
| Single-Fee Model | $15.5/percent | 4 | +$12.5/percent, 4 more features |
What each tier adds
The set difference between each tier's feature list and the one beneath it. Where a tier lists nothing new, the vendor has either stopped repeating the inherited list or the tier raises limits rather than adding capability, the record does not distinguish the two, so this page does not either.

Before you pay for Airbnb
Three things this page cannot tell you, and all three change the bill. The record carries a price and a billing period but not the unit - per-seat and flat-rate pricing are indistinguishable in this data, so a five-person team may be looking at five times the figure above. It carries no annual rate, so any discount for paying yearly is not something this page can quote. And it carries no trial length.
What it can tell you is the shape of the ladder: 2 tiers between $3/percent and $15.5/percent, with the jump itemised above. With no free tier on record, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to compare Airbnb against the tools that do have one before committing.
Airbnb runs on not recorded. The full record is on the Airbnb review, and the rest of the category is under best scheduling tools.
Airbnb pricing questions

- Airbnb publishes 2 tiers, from $3/percent for Split-Fee Model up to $15.5/percent for Single-Fee Model. The cheapest paid tier is $3/percent.
- Does Airbnb have a free plan?
- Not on the record we hold: Airbnb is listed as transaction. Whether a free trial is offered is not something this record captures, so check the vendor's site.
- What is the difference between Split-Fee Model and Single-Fee Model on Airbnb?
- Single-Fee Model costs $15.5/percent against $3/percent, and adds 15.5 percent of total payout (most hosts), 14 to 16 percent range for some hosts, 16 percent for brazil and mexico hosts, mandatory for property management software users.
- Is the Single-Fee Model plan on Airbnb worth it?
- That depends entirely on whether you need what it adds, which on the published record is 15.5 percent of total payout (most hosts), 14 to 16 percent range for some hosts, 16 percent for brazil and mexico hosts, mandatory for property management software users. It costs $15.5/percent against $3/percent for Split-Fee Model. Softwr has not used either tier, so this page can tell you what changes, not whether it is worth the difference to you.
- Is Airbnb expensive for a scheduling tool?
- It starts below the middle of its category. Across the 7 scheduling tools in this directory that publish a starting price, the median entry point is $19/month; Airbnb starts at $3/per-booking.
- Which scheduling tools can I use without paying?
- 4 of the 8 scheduling tools listed alongside Airbnb have a free tier: Zeeg, Bookedin, Zcal, Picktime.
- What am I actually paying for with Airbnb?
- The record we hold does not itemise what each tier includes beyond the plan names and prices. The Airbnb review carries whatever feature detail is available.
- Does Airbnb charge per user?
- The record carries a price and a billing period for each of its 2 tiers, but not the unit that price is charged in. Per-seat and flat-rate billing look identical in this data, so check the vendor's page before budgeting for a team.
- Are these Airbnb prices current?
- They are what the catalogue entry holds, refreshed when the entry is. Vendors change pricing without notice and nobody at Softwr re-verifies each tier by hand, so treat this as a structured summary and the vendor's own pricing page as the authority.
- What should I compare Airbnb against before paying?
- The closest scheduling tools in this directory are Sawyer, Zeeg, Bookedin, Zcal. Each has a side-by-side comparison with Airbnb covering price, platforms and features.
