What Alertify actually is
Alertify is an indoor STR sensor that bundles noise monitoring, smoking detection, and temperature/humidity readings into a single device, with an upgraded AQI+ tier adding air-quality and CO2 sensing. Hardware ships included in the annual subscription rather than as a separate SKU, and the platform integrates with most major short-term rental PMSs to automate guest messaging when incidents are detected.
Core features
- Indoor noise level monitoring with automated guest alerts
- Indoor smoking detection
- Temperature and humidity sensing
- Optional AQI+ tier with air quality and CO2 monitoring
- Backup battery in the device
- PMS integrations for automated guest messaging on incidents
- Slack notifications and webhooks for custom workflows
- Detailed incident reports for deposit/damage claims
Pros
- All-in-one indoor sensor with hardware bundled into the annual subscription
- Strong third-party review consensus on alert speed and accuracy
- Deep PMS integration list with automated guest messaging on incidents
Cons
- No outdoor sensor — patios, hot tubs, and backyards aren't covered
- Annual-only billing; no month-to-month pilot option
- Pricing above 25 properties is opaque and requires a sales conversation
Best for
- STR hosts and small portfolios under 25 indoor properties who want noise, smoking, and climate monitoring in one device at a flat annual rate
Not for
- Operators whose primary risk is outdoor parties on patios or hot tubs, or anyone seeking a PMS replacement rather than a sensor

1–5 listings
Small portfolios
If you run under 25 indoor units and want one sensor covering noise, smoking, and climate at a flat annual rate, this is the sweet-spot tool.

5–20 listings
Mid-sized portfolios
Workable for 25–100 units, but you're now in sales-led pricing territory and the published per-unit rate no longer applies.

20–100 listings
Large portfolios
Large portfolios will be quoted opaquely and still won't get outdoor coverage, which is usually the bigger risk at scale.

Vrbo primary
Vrbo-first hosts
Works fine alongside Vrbo-friendly PMSs like OwnerRez and Lodgify, but Alertify itself doesn't have a Vrbo-specific story.

3+ channels
Multi-channel operators
If your PMS is the system of record across channels, Alertify plugs into it and stays channel-agnostic — but it doesn't add channel-side functionality of its own.
