Run your whole portfolio
from one command center.
Cohost Command is property management software for short-term rentals — the cockpit you open every morning. Every property, every reservation, every guest message, every turnover, and every dollar of margin in one place. It's software you operate yourself, built on the same data spine as the rest of Cohost — not a service that runs your listing for a cut.
Built for portfolios and single properties alike. The command center, multi-property calendar, and automations are part of Cohost Silver — one membership, not a per-unit subscription.
The whole operation, in one system.
Most PMS tools bolt features onto a sync layer. Cohost Command is the system of record — your listings, bookings, margin, and compliance share one spine, so the numbers line up instead of drifting.
Command center
The cockpit: portfolio occupancy, revenue MTD, RevPAR, today's arrivals and departures, open turnovers, and unread messages — every property at a glance.
Multi-property calendar
Every listing on one timeline grid — bookings, blocks, and imported channel stays in a single view. Switch a date, see the whole portfolio.
Unified guest inbox
Every booking's message thread in one place, newest first, with unread badges — so nothing waits a day for a reply.
Reservations management
Confirm, decline, or cancel from one queue. Guest details, dates, payout, and the thread all attach to the stay.
Channel sync
Import availability from Airbnb, Vrbo, and Booking.com by iCal so your calendar reflects every channel. Saved feeds re-sync nightly.
Direct booking engine
Take bookings on your own Cohost listing at a flat low fee — about half of Airbnb's effective host take — instead of renting your guest list from an OTA.
Dynamic pricing
Market-blended nightly-rate suggestions with a confidence tier and a documented derivation. You apply them — nothing changes your price without you.
Automated guest messaging
Booking confirmed, home ready, and checkout reminders send themselves — plus your own custom messages. Fully editable, or off.
Turnover Pro, built in
Auto-scheduled cleanings, a vetted cleaner marketplace, photo-verified checklists, supplies, and problem reports — not a separate app to keep in sync.
Owner insights
ADR, occupancy, RevPAR, and true margin per property — from confirmed bookings only, turnover cost included. Every number links to how it's calculated.
Digital guidebooks
Per-property check-in info, wifi, parking, and house notes your guests get automatically — the self-service stay, without the texts.
Compliance-aware
A permit and lodging-tax status on every listing, pulled from the same engine cities use to enforce. No other PMS knows your regulatory picture.
Two-way channel API connectors (Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com — beyond today's iCal sync) · automatic owner payouts and statements once the money rail turns on · automation rule builder · native mobile app. We ship when it's right, and we say plainly what isn't built yet.
They sell you a subscription per door. We give you the data spine.
Guesty, Hostaway, Lodgify, and Hostfully are good software. They're also priced per unit or per booking, and none of them know whether your listing is legal. Cohost Command is one membership, compliance-aware, and every number it shows you is explainable.

Comparison reflects each vendor's public marketing as of June 2026; capabilities and pricing change. We list the channel-API gap honestly: today Cohost syncs channels by iCal, and the two-way API connectors are on the roadmap above. Every Cohost number on this page links to how it's calculated.
Not priced by the door.
Every other platform charges more as you grow — a fee per unit, or a cut of every booking. Cohost Command is part of Cohost Silver: one flat membership that also unlocks Analytics Pro, monthly compliance checks, the Finance member rate, and travel credit. Manage one property or fifty — the price is the same.
Built the same whether you run one or fifty.
Single-property owners
One door, run well. Automated guest messaging, a real calendar, turnover scheduling, and an owner view that tells you the truth about your margin.
Growing portfolios
Five doors or fifty in one command center. The multi-property calendar, unified inbox, and per-property insights scale without a bigger bill.
Co-hosts + managers
Operate other owners' properties with scoped access and an audit trail. The cleaner marketplace and turnover board keep field work accountable.
Manage your portfolio from the data up.
The same honest-math discipline behind Cohost Analytics and Compliance, pointed at the daily work of running short-term rentals.
