Your Porter App

Kommentare: Great product & great support staff

Vorteile: - fantastic support team behind.
- solid, trustworthy company behind the software.
- software that fullfills my booking need and more:
-- coordinate who has booked on Airbnb and booking.com to avoid doublebooking
-- make webpage free via Your Porter App system (they also offer to use own domain for a fee)
--Automation of day to day actions, like sending welcome email
-possible to test it out before buying (also good because one has not started to earn money yet, so the tool helps one make money first before asking for money).
- I only have one listing and the company support me having many questions even though I am very small w/only 1 listing.

Nachteile: Have nothing negative to say. It is just a very good tool with extremely good and helpful support staff.

Kommentare: It's great. I've tried or gone through demo presentations at almost every other mainstream service that seemed like it might work for a small operator like me, and none of them offered this kind of value.

Vorteile: I love how customizable it is. I love that there is no setup fee. I love that everything is super easy to understand. I love that it syncs with exactly the channels I need -- Airbnb, HomeAway/VRBO, and Booking.com. Everything I need and nothing I don't. I like the small but interesting features like the "Airbnb rankings booster." All I need is a channel manager. I don't need a full service property manager. Services like Guesty cost upwards of $500 just to get set up, and then each month you're charged $20 per property! To me that seems excessive.

Nachteile: Navigating (back, forward, etc) on the website can be confusing b/c it's really designed to be viewed on a mobile phone.

Kommentare: Allows me to avoid double bookings by syncing across other platforms
Automated messages save time
Syncs nightly price and minimum stay across other platforms

Vorteile: Airbnb Extended connection
Booking.com API connection
Homeaway Extended connection
Message Automation to Airbnb, Booking.com and Homeaway
Airbnb price sync to Bookin.com and Homeaway with user defined markup
Very responsive tech support
Airbnb Extended connection works in restricted markets which do not permit API connections such as - Los Angeles, Montreal, Tokyo, etc.

Nachteile: No way to connect to Tokeet API
No ability to push prices from Tokeet to Your Porter App
Prices can only be taken from Airbnb and only than pushed to other channels
Limited message automation options

Kommentare: Overall its made the process of running airbnb a lot less stressful for us and reduced the margin of error

Vorteile: It's a good way to prevent double bookings. It's reduces the stress associated with sending check in/check out instructions because we can makes this process automated

Nachteile: Speed is slow. Sometimes it's difficult to navigate your way around the software

Kommentare: Making changes to listing to improve search rank and conversions is difficult without knowing where you rank, Your Porter App solved this with amazing weekly search reports.

Vorteile: Understanding where your property shows up in Airbnb search ranking is critical, even more important is what you do about it. Your Porter App provides weekly performance reports that allow you to monitor your Airbnb search ranking within a comparable competition set (ie: number of bedrooms, bathrooms, beds, etc)
Managing your Airbnb search rank goes a long way toward improving your conversion rates and increasing yield, Your Porter App is an essential tool in your STR (Short Term Rental) toolbox providing results you can measure.

Nachteile: Aside from the apprehension of relinquishing direct control of the listing on Airbnb, activating went smoothly but I didn’t like the fact that I no longer can rely on Airbnb’s Market Trends and Smart Pricing for guidance on pricing strategy.
