Transparent for mid-sized portfolios (5–20 listings)
Operators at 5–20 listings, past the solo-host stage but not yet running a full property management company.
Our verdict for mid-sized portfolios (5–20 listings)
Great fit
If you manage 15+ units and need market-wide intelligence for pricing strategy and owner acquisition pitches, Transparent delivers the deepest STR dataset available.
Why it fits you
- Revenue proposals help you win new owners with market-backed projections
- Zip-code-level ADR, occupancy, and supply data across four OTAs gives you a competitive edge
- Review aggregation across competitor listings helps you spot service gaps
What might bite you
- Per-market pricing gets expensive if you operate across many markets
- Post-Lighthouse acquisition, the standalone product's future is uncertain
Best-for-you alternatives at this size
- Airbtics Okay fit — consider alternatives
Helpful for expanding into new markets but the $295/mo Scale tier needed for portfolio-level data is a steep jump from the $29 individual plan.
From $29 • Free trial · Best STR analytics platform for international market coverage
- AirDNA Okay fit — consider alternatives
Useful for mid-portfolio operators who want competitor benchmarking and Smart Rates input, especially if you're actively expanding.
From $0 • Free trial · The category-leading STR market-data platform for investors
- AirROI Okay fit — consider alternatives
Free analytics remain valuable at 6-20 listings, but the lack of PMS integration means AirROI supplements rather than replaces your existing stack.
From $0 • No free trial · Unbeatable value — comprehensive STR analytics at zero cost
