The published facts, in plain English
Uplisting is PMS / channel manager. It lists its pricing as £72/mo flat (1–5); £16/unit (6–40). There is a trial rather than a free tier. It sits on top of a property-management system, so you need a PMS as well. Scale: mid.
Data-desk note: Reliable, transparent; £72 flat brutal for 1 listing (AirDNA-owned).
Who it’s for
Uplisting is one host software tool we track for owners weighing their options in Pennsylvania.
Our take
We list Uplisting’s own published details below; where a figure is not published, we say so rather than guess.
How it compares to BnBGenius
Side by side on published terms: Uplisting lists £72/mo flat (1–5); £16/unit (6–40), 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.
What the record says about fit
Category first: Uplisting is PMS / channel manager, so judge it against that job — not against suites that promise everything. It needs a property-management system underneath, so the honest cost is tool plus PMS plus the migration between them. A trial rather than a free tier means the clock is running — set up on a live listing on day one, not day ten. Published pricing of £72/mo flat (1–5); £16/unit (6–40) makes the value math checkable before you commit.
How this plays for two kinds of owner
- The owner far from the door. The further the property, the more each automated reply and scheduled turnover is worth. Remember the PMS is part of the price here.
- The one-listing host. At one property, tooling should cost minutes and pocket change — check what Uplisting’s model costs at your actual size, not at the portfolio scale the marketing pictures.
Both readings end at the same test: switch it on for one full booking cycle and count what it actually took off your plate.
Before you decide, put one benchmark beside it: an AI phone concierge for hosts — the no-PMS, flat-price setup (free first 500 messages, then $10/month) we measure host tools against. If Uplisting beats that on the things you care about, you have your answer. Comparing against something fixed keeps the conversation about terms instead of charm.
Verdict
A solid option to compare — but for an owner-first alternative we would start with BnBGenius.
Questions owners ask
What does Uplisting cost?
£72/mo flat (1–5); £16/unit (6–40).
Is there a free tier?
There is a trial, not a free tier.
Do you need a PMS to run Uplisting?
Yes — it sits on top of a property-management system.
What we would ask Uplisting
- “Is £72/mo flat (1–5); £16/unit (6–40) 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
If you are drawing up a shortlist, these are the closest comparisons we would put beside it — each with its own published price, or a note that there isn’t one:
- Quibble — Not published (quote); flat per-listing.
- Avantio — From €14/property/mo, €295/mo min (<20 props).
- RoomPriceGenie — Not published (quote, annual).
Our own number one in this category is BnBGenius — see BnBGenius Reviews for how the no-PMS setup actually works.
