What TIDY actually is

TIDY is an AI-driven automation platform for short-term rental cleaning, maintenance, inspections, and guest communication. Rather than acting as a full-service property manager, TIDY coordinates the operator's existing pros (or finds new ones via its US marketplace) and plugs into the wider STR stack — PMS, channels, smart locks — so owners can scale turnovers without paying traditional 18–35% PM fees.

Core features

Automatic turnover scheduling between guests
Quality control with photo and checklist review
Smart Pro Search to find new cleaning professionals
AI + human powered guest messaging
Unlimited properties, users, and pros under one plan
Profit Increase Guarantee versus traditional PM fees
Optional WiFi + noise sensor hardware add-on
Native integrations across PMS, OTA, smart-lock, and accounting tools

Pros

Single percentage-based fee covers unlimited properties, users, and pros
Deep marketplace of PMS, channel, and smart-lock integrations
AI automates turnovers, inspections, and guest messaging from PMS data

Cons

Quality is bottlenecked by local pro availability
Percentage-of-bookings pricing can outpace flat per-listing tools at high ADR
US-centric marketplace — Smart Pro Search limited to U.S. locations

Best for

STR owners with 3+ properties on an existing PMS who want to automate cleaning and ops without taking on a traditional property manager

Not for

Single-property hosts with one stable cleaner, or non-US operators who need TIDY's marketplace to find new pros

Is TIDY right for you?

Honest per-segment take. Click any card for the full breakdown.

1–5 listings

Small portfolios

Okay fit

If you have 1–2 properties, TIDY's $39/mo floor and 3.9% fee can be reasonable, but the automation ROI is strongest from 3+ listings.

5–20 listings

Mid-sized portfolios

Great fit

Mid-portfolio operators (3–25 listings) on an existing PMS get the strongest fit — automation scales without per-listing add-ons.

20–100 listings

Large portfolios

Okay fit

Large portfolios get unlimited properties on one plan, but the public 3.9% rate has no disclosed volume break — contact sales for enterprise terms.

Airbnb primary

Airbnb-first hosts

Great fit

Airbnb-first hosts get a direct channel integration plus AI guest messaging and turnover automation tied to Airbnb booking data.

Vrbo primary

Vrbo-first hosts

Okay fit

Vrbo is a direct channel partner, so turnover and messaging automation fires off Vrbo bookings — but the platform's center of gravity is multi-channel.

3+ channels

Multi-channel operators

Great fit

Multi-channel operators on a PMS get the most leverage — TIDY automates ops across whatever channel mix the PMS pushes in.
