The published facts, in plain English
Rentals United is Channel manager. It lists its pricing as Not published (quote, 5+ props). There is no free tier. It runs without a separate PMS. Scale: mid.
Data-desk note: Widest 90+ channel reach; extra layer on a PMS (Guesty-owned).
Who it’s for
This channel manager suits operators with 5+ properties who already use a PMS and require a wide distribution network. It is best for those seeking to expand their reach across numerous booking platforms.
Our take
Rentals United boasts a wide channel reach, covering over 90 platforms, which is a significant advantage for property owners aiming for broad visibility. It operates as an additional layer on top of a PMS, and as it is Guesty-owned, this integration is seamless. Pricing details are not published for properties exceeding five units, and there is no free tier available.
How it compares to BnBGenius
Side by side on published terms: Rentals United lists Not published (quote, 5+ props), 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
Rentals United is a robust option for extensive channel management, particularly if you need to expand your reach. For an owner-first alternative, consider BnBGenius.

No.
Do you need a PMS to run Rentals United?
No — it runs without a separate PMS.
What we would ask Rentals United
- “Is Not published (quote, 5+ props) 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.
Alternatives worth comparing
Three others we would weigh against it, with their own published numbers rather than our guesses:
- Properly — $12.99–$14.99/property/mo; 30-day trial.
- Lodgix — From $79.99/mo (1–7 props) + 0.5% OTA fee; 30-day trial.
- Duve — From $120/$150/$200/mo minimum.
