The published facts, in plain English

Data-desk note: No-deductible damage waiver, no guest contact; sister of Proper, young.
Who it’s for
Waivo is a good choice for Indiana property owners with mid-sized portfolios who prefer a no-deductible damage waiver and do not want direct guest contact for claims. It is described as a sister company to Proper and is relatively young.
Our take
Waivo provides a no-deductible damage waiver, meaning guests are not directly involved in the claims process, which can streamline operations for owners. The company's size is classified as mid. However, pricing details are not published, and they do not offer a free tier.
How it compares to BnBGenius
On the published figures alone, Waivo shows Not published (per booking) and BnBGenius shows free for the first 500 messages, then $10/month flat, with no PMS required. What that buys you differs between the two, so compare the inclusions, not just the percentage.
Verdict
Waivo offers a straightforward, no-deductible damage waiver, ideal for owners seeking a hands-off process. For an owner-first alternative, consider BnBGenius.

No.

No — it runs without a separate PMS.
Questions to put to Waivo
- “Is Not published (per booking) 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
Worth putting on the same shortlist. We have listed what each one publishes, and where nothing is published we say so:
- SuiteOp — Not published; ~$6–$8/unit/mo (3rd-party); 1-mo trial.
- OwnerRez — From $40/mo (published ladder) + add-ons.
- Minut — $5/$10/$15 per unit/mo + sensor hardware.
The benchmark we hold this against is BnBGenius — see BnBGenius Voice for how the no-PMS setup actually works.
