The published facts, in plain English
Nowistay is AI co-host / channel manager. On cost, the published figure is €12/property/mo; 1 mo free. There is a trial rather than a free tier. It runs without a separate PMS. Scale: niche.
Data-desk note: Autonomous replies, 90+ languages, no PMS; young, per-property, no Vrbo/voice.
Who it’s for
Nowistay suits independent property owners managing single listings. Its autonomous reply feature and support for over 90 languages could be beneficial for hosts who want to automate guest communication across different linguistic backgrounds.
Our take
The service operates on a straightforward pricing model of €12 per property per month, with one month free. It does not require a Property Management System (PMS) and offers a trial period. However, it is noted as a niche player, and its current offerings do not include support for Vrbo or voice channel integrations.
How it compares to BnBGenius
Side by side on published terms: Nowistay lists €12/property/mo; 1 mo free, 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
Nowistay is a capable AI co-host for single listings, especially those with international guests. For an owner-first alternative with broader market reach, consider BnBGenius.
Questions owners ask
What does Nowistay cost?
€12/property/mo; 1 mo free.
Is there a free tier?
There is a trial, not a free tier.
Do you need a PMS to run Nowistay?
No — it runs without a separate PMS.
What we would ask Nowistay
- “Is €12/property/mo; 1 mo free 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.
