Uplisting
Short-term rental management with a flat per-property price and no percentage of revenue
As of 31 August 2026, Uplisting starts at $100/month. A short-term rental platform that publishes a plain per-listing rate and takes no cut of bookings, which is unusual in a category where percentage fees are normal. Softwr lists it under Travel. Uplisting is available on Web, iOS, Android.
Overview
What Uplisting does
Uplisting is a property management and channel platform for short-term rental operators. It syncs Airbnb, Booking.com and Vrbo with an emphasis on avoiding double bookings, runs a unified guest inbox with automated messaging, provides a direct booking site with Stripe payments, and handles cleaning and team assignment with task automation. It also supports guest identity verification, damage deposits and smart lock code issuing. The distinguishing thing is the pricing shape. Uplisting charges roughly twenty US dollars per property per month with volume breaks at twenty-one and one hundred listings, and takes no percentage of reservation value at any tier. In a market where Lodgify takes 1.9 per cent below its top tier and several booking platforms add guest-side fees, a manager with high average nightly rates can save a great deal by paying a fixed sum per unit instead. The counterweight is the hundred dollar monthly minimum, which prices out one- and two-property owners entirely. Buyers are professional managers with roughly five to a hundred units who have outgrown a spreadsheet and want predictable software cost. The trade-off is scope. Uplisting has no owner statements or trust accounting worth the name, its reporting is basic, and it is a British product with the deepest support for European and North American channels; operators needing regional OTAs, franchise-style multi-brand structures, or investor-grade financial reporting will find it short.
What people use it for
- A manager with fifteen city apartments who wants fixed software cost rather than a percentage of high nightly rates
- An operator burned by double bookings across Airbnb and Booking.com wanting hard sync protection
- A team coordinating cleaners across same-day turnovers with automated task assignment
- A host issuing smart lock codes automatically instead of arranging key handovers
The honest half
Where it falls short
Concrete and checkable, so you can decide whether any of them matter to you. This is the half of a review a vendor will not write about Uplisting.
- The 100 US dollar monthly minimum means an owner with one or two properties pays roughly fifty dollars per unit, five times the effective rate a twenty-unit manager pays.
- Owner statements and trust accounting are effectively absent, so agencies that must report to and pay property owners need separate bookkeeping alongside it.
- Payments are tied to Stripe for direct bookings, which limits operators in countries Stripe does not serve well or who want to keep an existing acquiring relationship.
- Channel coverage is narrower than the larger platforms: Airbnb, Booking.com and Vrbo are solid but regional OTAs and wholesale distribution are not there.
- Reporting is basic, with limited custom report building, so investors or multi-entity operators typically export data and analyse it elsewhere.

Questions people ask
Each answer names the page it came from, so you can check it rather than take our word for it.
Does Uplisting take a percentage of bookings?
No. It charges a flat monthly rate per property and takes no cut of reservation value, including on direct bookings.
What is the minimum I can spend?
One hundred US dollars a month, regardless of whether you have one property or five.
Does it do owner payouts and statements?
Not meaningfully. Managers who owe monthly statements to property owners generally run accounting separately or choose Hostaway or Guesty instead.
