The published facts, in plain English
GuestIntro is Digital guest manuals + direct booking. Published pricing: Free (1 property); Pro from $6.99/mo; site from $19.99/mo. There is a free tier. It runs without a separate PMS. Scale: niche.
Data-desk note: Genuinely free guidebook + 0% direct booking; never touches your inbox.
Who it’s for
This service suits owners who want a free digital guest manual for one property or are looking for a simple, low-cost way to add direct booking functionality. It's particularly appealing if you prefer a tool that doesn't integrate deeply with your existing systems or require a Property Management System (PMS).
Our take
GuestIntro provides a genuinely free guidebook option and a 0% commission on direct bookings, a significant plus for owners aiming to retain more revenue. The service operates independently of your inbox, offering a distinct advantage for those who value privacy. Pricing is tiered, starting free and scaling up for additional features or properties.
How it compares to BnBGenius
Side by side on published terms: GuestIntro lists Free (1 property); Pro from $6.99/mo; site from $19.99/mo, while BnBGenius lists free for the first 500 messages, then $10/month flat, with no PMS required. Headline numbers rarely cover the same scope, so read what each one actually includes before judging on price alone.
Verdict
GuestIntro is a compelling, cost-effective solution for digital guest manuals and direct bookings, especially with its free tier. For an owner-first alternative, consider BnBGenius.

Questions to put to GuestIntro
- “Is Free (1 property); Pro from $6.99/mo; site from $19.99/mo per listing or flat?” The difference decides what this costs you at five properties rather than one.
- Free tier or trial. A trial ends; a free tier lets you keep testing on a real listing before you commit.
- What it needs underneath. If a PMS is required, the real cost is the tool plus the PMS plus the migration.
