The published facts, in plain English
Waivo is Damage waiver. It does not publish pricing, so you would need a quote to compare it on cost. There is no free tier. It runs without a separate PMS. Scale: mid.
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
A like-for-like comparison is not possible here: Waivo does not publish this figure, while BnBGenius publishes free for the first 500 messages, then $10/month flat, with no PMS required up front. That openness is a large part of why BnBGenius is our first call.
Verdict
Waivo offers a straightforward, no-deductible damage waiver, ideal for owners seeking a hands-off process. For an owner-first alternative, consider BnBGenius.

What to pin down with Waivo
- “What does it actually cost?” Pricing is not published, so get it before you invest setup time.
- 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.
