AirROI is STR market analytics. It lists its pricing as Free analytics; API pay-as-you-go from $0.01/call. There is a free tier. It runs without a separate PMS. Scale: mid.
Data-desk note: Free AirDNA alternative; younger, less lender-recognized.
Who it’s for
AirROI is one host software tool we track for owners weighing their options in Baker City.
Our take
We list AirROI’s own published details below; where a figure is not published, we say so rather than guess.
How it compares to BnBGenius
Side by side on published terms: AirROI lists Free analytics; API pay-as-you-go from $0.01/call, 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 published record signals
AirROI files under STR market analytics; 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: the free tier on a single listing, through at least one busy weekend. Published pricing of Free analytics; API pay-as-you-go from $0.01/call makes the value math checkable before you commit.
Same tool, two situations
- The remote self-manager. Automation earns its keep fastest at a distance — every task AirROI genuinely takes over is a drive you do not make. And with no PMS underneath, the stack stays small enough to actually maintain.
- The one-listing host. At one property, tooling should cost minutes and pocket change — check what AirROI’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.
Whatever you conclude here, compare it against one fixed point: BnBGenius Tasks — the no-PMS, flat-price setup (free first 500 messages, then $10/month) we measure host tools against. If AirROI beats that on the things you care about, you have your answer. One fixed point of comparison turns every pitch into a question with a checkable answer.
Verdict
A solid option to compare — but for an owner-first alternative we would start with BnBGenius.

What to pin down with AirROI
- “Is Free analytics; API pay-as-you-go from $0.01/call 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
Three others we would weigh against it, with their own published numbers rather than our guesses:
- Escapia — Not published (demo).
- StayFi — $19/mo software + hardware $99–$303/unit.
- Doinn — Not published (quote); Power-Ups €25+€0.80/prop.
The benchmark we hold this against is BnBGenius — see an AI concierge for how the no-PMS setup actually works.
