## Overview

### Who Uses Nowistay?

Nowistay caters to vacation rental owners, property managers, and short-term rental hosts.

## About the vendor

- **Company**: Nowistay

## Commercial Context

- **Starting Price**: €0.83
- **Pricing model**: Per Feature (Free version available) (Free Trial)
- **Pricing Details**: Nowistay uses a per-property subscription model. You only pay for the properties you want to manage — no platform-wide fees, no contracts, cancel anytime.

How pricing works

Each property you add to Nowistay can be subscribed individually. This means you can start with one property, see how it works, and add more as you grow. You're never paying for features on properties you don't need them on.

Plans

Nowistay offers two main plans per property:

Guide Plan — 10 EUR per property per year. Includes digital welcome books with rich content editing, multi-language support (15 languages), image and video embedding, and shareable guest links. Perfect if you want to give guests a professional check-in experience with house rules, local recommendations, and property instructions.

Assistant Plan — 9 EUR per property per month, or 90 EUR per property per year (save 2 months). Everything in the Guide plan, plus the fully autonomous AI co-host. The AI handles all guest messaging across Airbnb, Booking.com, WhatsApp, and email — without you needing to review or approve replies. Also includes channel manager with OTA synchronization, automated cleaning mission creation, team coordination, smart lock integrations (Nuki, TTLock, iGloohome), automated message scheduling, and guest identity verification.

Free trial

Every new property gets a free trial so you can test all features before committing. No credit card required to start.

What's included at no extra cost

- Unlimited team members (cleaners, maintenance staff, managers)
- Unlimited automated messages
- Unlimited bookings
- Calendar management and availability sync
- Multi-channel messaging (Airbnb, Booking.com, WhatsApp, email)
- PMS integrations (Beds24, Smoobu, Lodgify, Hostaway)
- Mission checklists with photo verification
- Multi-language AI responses

Usage-based costs

Some features have small per-use charges billed monthly:

- Guest identity verification: 2 EUR per completed verification. Only charged when a guest successfully completes ID screening. Billed at the end of each month.

- WhatsApp messaging: A small per-message fee applies for WhatsApp delivery. Billed monthly based on actual usage.

These usage costs are invoiced separately through Stripe at the beginning of each month for the previous month's usage. You can track all charges in your Stripe billing portal.

No hidden fees

- No setup fees
- No long-term contracts
- No per-booking commissions
- No charges for team members or user seats
- Cancel or downgrade any property at any time

Who should choose which plan

If you just need a professional way to share property information with guests, the Guide plan is a great starting point. If you want to fully automate guest communication, cleaning coordination, and access management, the Assistant plan pays for itself in time saved — most hosts report saving several hours per week per property.

Getting started

Sign up, add your first property, connect your booking channels, and start your free trial. You can upgrade, downgrade, or cancel each property's plan independently at any time from your dashboard.
