Great Product to Dynamically Price

Reviewed on 2020/03/19

Works great for my needs. It delivers enough of a revenue boost to well justify the cost.

Works great for my needs. It delivers enough of a revenue boost to well justify the cost.

Pros

Beyond Pricing is just that...it's a superior alternative to Airbnb SmartPricing. Beyond Pricing works on the behalf of hosts...not the platform. This productive definitely increased my nightly rate. It integrates pricing from more sources than the OTAs.

Cons

Beyond Pricing continues to improve and they regularly add features. They aren't every market, and some markets are geographically broad. You can set it and forget it with your high season. I've found the pricing then to be very accurate. In the off season I feel like seasonality can be so hyper-local that it doesn't perform quite as well there. They recently added functionality to blanket discount over their predicted price for dates you set...I'm hoping that helps with some of the seasonality issues.

Response from Beyond

Thanks Lee! We love your review and feedback. We work every day to help people like you build a stronger business and it's hugely appreciated to see you take the time to share your thoughts.

Pros

Love the fact that market data is constantly looked at and calculated into algorithm.

Cons

Only Con we have is that it only goes out a year ahead and in our business we sometimes book 2 years out.

Cancelled well within my free one month trial. Firstly, beyond pricing should be paying me- a glitch in their system shortly after signing up caused my booking.com profiles, calendars and 3 years of history to be wiped blank and locked out. Beyond pricing is wholly email-based, and has no support line to call when things go pear shaped. Even once they decided to email me back, after over 12 hours of outage, they refused to help fix it, and simply pointed me to their standard FAQ section. 48 hours without booking.com (and without all of the bookings i crucially lost in the meantime, as booking.com is our main source of profit!) and a 6 hour phone call to booking.com’s IT department, and they were able to help get everything unlocked and reopened- while confirming that it had been Beyond Pricing’s fault in the first place. The lost revenue (the exact opposite of what beyond pricing promises!) and the shoddy support soured me to beyond pricing, and I requested to cancel, with the hope of returning in a year’s time once the kinks in their system were worked out. However, over 2 months after cancelling, I was hunted down & chased via email trail by BP employee [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] for “missing payment”- for what, you may ask? For bookings made during my 100% free one month trial. [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] insisted across multiple emails that yes, my account had been cancelled with them only three weeks after signing up, but I still had to pay for the reservations made prior- even though I was within the free trial!

Pros

I love the concept behind this company, but unfortunately, for the below reasons, cannot and will not recommend, and hope they either get their act together or stop trading immediately, before messing up other peoples’ livelihoods and hunting down pennies to boot!

Cons

Email based, no support line, caused significant losses to my business due to glitches in their system which completely erased my booking.com accounts and calendars, leading my properties to be 2 days off line and to be unable to accept any reservations whatsoever, with any pending reservations automatically cancelled. No help in the meantime- I had to spend 6 hours on the phone with Booking.com's IT department to try and fix Beyond Pricing's glitch, meanwhile Beyond Pricing merely emailed me copy and paste FAQs that were unrelated and unhelpful, after long delays.

Cons

So far it has been very good, they are easily accessible if needed. The rentals that have come in have been varied in pricing and some have been very good, others lower but those will hopefully help overall occupancy.

Pros

The staff is great, they are very easy to work with and quick to respond if there are questions or issues. So far it has been interesting to see the variance in pricing.

Cons

The lower pricing can be quite low, but those are also on last minute bookings so they may not have been booked otherwise.

Thank You For This System

Reviewed on 2023/09/18

Pros

I am big on systems and was also new to the short term rental market when discovering Beyond. This system just works. Easy to setup but I also had a rep schedule a meeting with me on a Saturday to go over everything with me to make sure I was ready to go. From there I had a question that I emailed to her the following day and she respondents within the hour on a Sunday. Takes the headache out of pricing especially if your new.

Cons

It didn’t work with the midterm platform that I use. But not a deal breaker.

Overall very easy to integrate into my PMS and I have been thrilled with the pricing. I thought it would get me a few extra dollars but I have been getting daily rates that are 15% - 30% higher than I would have thought to price them. I almost (almost) feel guilty about it.

Pros

Intergration and dynamic pricing have been great.

Cons

I feel that getting the pricing tweaked is too difficult and could be made easier. I also wish it synced faster.

Overall its been a good experience, I can set it once and it will always be there, but i like the ability to review and make small adjustments, i.e. 5% up or down. Wish I had more time to dive deeper into the insights and analytics. Also, not sure if you all recommend a set price based on what you see in the market? Maybe you do.

Pros

I like the easy of the price optimization feature as well as ability to compare against similar vacation rentals in my area. Also like the industry insights

Cons

Well, the fees..not always sure the price booked is what Beyond Pricing recommended but trusting the process

Pros

Beyond Pricing is the most accurate pricing tool I've used. It gets the prices I want exactly how I would set it if I was doing it manually. I've tried dozens of other pricing tools but Beyond Pricing has the best data to price your listing the way it should.

Cons

Pricing is slightly higher than similar products.

We base our business' success upon Beyond - we can't really flourish without it - and will grow based upon the data and insights it provides.

Pros

The initial setup was straightforward and easy to implement. We configured the tool, compared our short term rental property to others based upon location, amenities, etc. and built the seasonal and annual pricing models. The data available in the tool helped us understand regional factors and constraints so that we could be competitive but not 'compete against ourselves' for proper pricing.

Cons

The seasonal pricing seems to be a good idea, but the interface seems to be time-based (e.g., monthly buttons are available, seasonal ones are not). Recommend making all aspects of the interface either seasonal (with user-chosen start/end dates) or monthly for consistency.

From top to bottom Beyond Pricing is a first class organization in my experience. Their team is readily available and everyone is hands on and willing to jump on the phone and help you figure out a resolution whenever an issue comes up. Highly recommend to anyone who is not a direct competitor of ours.

Pros

Dynamic pricing is something we've done in house for quite a while but no one could keep up with the accuracy and flexibility of Beyond Pricing. They've helped us to raise the bar on what should be expected from a vacation rental manager in our area.

Cons

There is a lot that goes into it, it's not a simple flip the switch and everything is done. There is a lot to learn especially when it comes to explaining it to property owners but their support team is readily available and does a great job of helping you throughout initiation as well as on a day to day basis.
It's not a set and forget it system either, I do log in and at least glance at rates daily but that might just be who I am and my desire to have control and understanding of everything though.

Our rep at Beyond Pricing is the ABSOLUTE best! We love the guy and truly appreciate his authenticity and the way he brings us along on the reason for pricing decisions. Very real, honest and trustworthy.

Pros

The fact that they have 'managed services'. Dynamic pricing is an art. These guys are gurus. We requested managed services when it was new and dramatically increased our revenues. It took the emotion out of the tactical pricing strategy.

Cons

Pricing is an art. It's not easy. If they didn't have managed services, I'm not sure we would have stayed. We LOVE our account rep and highly recommend the managed services
