Six-Month Owner Reports

Parity Pricing
In designPricelabs, channel margins, cleaning fees, taxes, promotions and length-of-stay discounts make the real price a guest pays almost impossible to track. Plux scrapes the final price on Airbnb, Booking.com and your direct site for each listing's next stay, then flags every gap outside your guardrails — so your direct price is always the best price.

Owner reports that build trust.

Payout, front and centre

Know your real price on every channel.
Between Pricelabs, Hostaway channel margins, cleaning fees, taxes, channel promotions and length-of-stay discounts, the real final price a guest pays is almost impossible to work out — let alone monitor. Plux scrapes it from each channel for every listing's next stay and flags the gaps that break your guardrails.
Next available stay, automatically
Plux reads your Hostaway calendar and finds each listing's next open length of stay — the dates worth price-checking.
The real final price
Margins, fees, taxes, promos and LOS discounts stack differently on every site. We scrape the actual all-in price a guest sees — not the headline nightly rate.
Airbnb as your benchmark
Every channel is measured as a signed % difference from Airbnb, so parity is apples-to-apples.
Your guardrails, your bands
Set an acceptable band per channel — Booking.com a little above, direct comfortably below — and we enforce it.
Direct always wins
Catch the moments your direct site isn't the cheapest, so guests never have a reason to book elsewhere.
Every breach in one report
One consolidated view flags exactly which listing and stay drifted out of band — ready to adjust.
Connect Hostaway
Link your PMS — we pull your listings and the next available stay for each.
We scrape & compare
Plux captures the final guest price on every channel and measures each against Airbnb.
You get the gaps
A flagged report of every listing outside your bands — so you adjust the few that matter.
