The published facts, in plain English
TIDY is AI ops / cleaning coordination. It lists its pricing as 3.9% of gross bookings + spend, $39/mo min. There is no free tier. It runs without a separate PMS. Scale: mid.
Data-desk note: Unlimited properties on a $39 floor; 3.9% take grows with your revenue.
Who it’s for
This service suits property owners seeking automated management of cleaning schedules and operational tasks. It is particularly useful for those with multiple properties, as there is no limit on the number of units that can be managed under the minimum monthly fee.
Our take
TIDY operates on a 3.9% commission of gross bookings plus any direct spend, with a minimum charge of $39 per month. The company does not offer a free tier, meaning an upfront investment is required. While it supports unlimited properties on the base minimum, the 3.9% take scales with revenue, which could become a significant cost for high-earning hosts.
How it compares to BnBGenius
Side by side on published terms: TIDY lists 3.9% of gross bookings + spend, $39/mo min, while BnBGenius lists free for the first 500 messages, then $10/month flat, with no PMS required. Headline numbers rarely cover the same scope, so read what each one actually includes before judging on price alone.
What the record says about fit
TIDY files under AI ops / cleaning coordination; the fair test is how well it does that one job on a live listing. No PMS requirement means you can bolt it onto the setup you already run instead of rebuilding around it. Test path: one paid month, one listing, one honest verdict. On cost, the published 3.9% of gross bookings + spend, $39/mo min is the number to hold against your own hours saved.
Same tool, two situations
- The owner far from the door. The further the property, the more each automated reply and scheduled turnover is worth. The no-PMS setup keeps the moving parts — and the failure points — few.
- The one-listing host. At one property, tooling should cost minutes and pocket change — check what TIDY’s model costs at your actual size, not at the portfolio scale the marketing pictures.
Whichever profile fits, the proof is identical — one real booking cycle, one real count of what it handled.
Our advice before any contract: hold it against a benchmark — automate the busywork — the no-PMS, flat-price setup (free first 500 messages, then $10/month) we measure host tools against. If TIDY beats that on the things you care about, you have your answer. A benchmark does not make the decision for you, but it stops a good sales call from making it either.
Verdict
TIDY provides a dedicated AI ops and cleaning coordination solution. For an owner-first alternative that prioritises transparency, consider BnBGenius.
Questions owners ask
What does TIDY cost?
3.9% of gross bookings + spend, $39/mo min.
Is there a free tier?
No.
Do you need a PMS to run TIDY?
No — it runs without a separate PMS.
What we would ask TIDY
- “Is 3.9% of gross bookings + spend, $39/mo min per listing or flat?” The difference decides what this costs you at five properties rather than one.
- Free tier or trial. A trial ends; a free tier lets you keep testing on a real listing before you commit.
- What it needs underneath. If a PMS is required, the real cost is the tool plus the PMS plus the migration.
Alternatives worth comparing
