A well-run rental usually ends up with six separate guest-experience subscriptions: TouchStay for the digital guidebook, StayFi for WiFi guest marketing, WelcomeScreen for the TV, YourWelcome for the in-room tablet, Minut for noise monitoring and The Host Co for guest upsells. That stack runs over $100 a month per property. BetterSTR Simple does all six jobs for $15 a property a month, about the price of TouchStay alone, with 15% off when you pay annually.
One plan, one price per property, everything switched on. $15 a month covers the premium digital guidebook with Ask AI, WiFi captive-portal marketing for up to 3 access points, a locked in-room companion tablet with noise monitoring, up to 3 TVs on the hotel-style BetterSTR TV welcome screen, a guest upsell shop at a flat 3% fee, and your own custom domain connected with a free SSL certificate. It is the work of TouchStay, StayFi, WelcomeScreen, YourWelcome, Minut and The Host Co on one bill, from one dashboard.
None of these tools is bad at its job. The problem is that each one solves a slice of the guest experience and charges like it is the whole thing, so a host who wants the guidebook, the WiFi capture, the TV, the tablet, noise monitoring and upsells is running six dashboards and six bills.

The saving is the headline, but the real win is that it is one platform. The WiFi login drops guests onto the same guidebook the TV and tablet show. The booking sync that fills the guidebook also personalises the TV greeting and expires guest access at checkout. Four separate providers can never do that, because each one only sees its own quarter of the stay.
It syncs with Airbnb and the major property managers: Hospitable, OwnerRez, Guesty, Hostaway, Lodgify, Smoobu, Cloudbeds and many more.
$15 a property a month, or $153.00 a year per property (15% off). Volume discounts kick in from 51 properties. Full details on the pricing page.
Switching is designed to be painless. Our one-click TouchStay importer brings your existing guide content across in minutes, and if you bought StayFi's UniFi hardware there is a step-by-step guide to repurposing it for BetterSTR, so nothing you paid for goes in the bin. The TV app runs on any Android TV or Google TV device, and the tablet app runs on any Android 11+ tablet you already have.
Start free with the guidebook, then switch on Simple when you are ready. No card required to begin.
Start free See Simple pricingYes. BetterSTR Simple covers both jobs in one plan: a premium digital guidebook (the TouchStay job) and WiFi captive-portal guest marketing (the StayFi job), plus an in-room tablet and a TV welcome screen that neither of them offers, for $15 a property a month.
Roughly $109 a month per property: TouchStay about $15/month paid monthly, StayFi from $19/month plus hardware from $99, WelcomeScreen $9.99/month, YourWelcome around $450 a year, Minut $10/month plus its sensor, and The Host Co from $18/month (or 7% of every sale on its free tier). BetterSTR Simple does all six jobs for $15/month, so the whole bundle costs about the same as TouchStay on its own.
Per property: the premium guidebook with Ask AI, WiFi Marketing for up to 3 access points, 1 companion tablet with noise monitoring, up to 3 TVs on BetterSTR TV, guest upsells at a flat 3% fee, and a custom domain or subdomain with a free SSL certificate. $15 a month, or 15% off paid annually.
Yes. The companion tablet included in Simple doubles as the noise monitor: real-time decibel monitoring, quiet hours, custom thresholds and instant alerts, the same job as Minut's $10/month Standard plan. And because it runs on the tablet already in the property, there is no separate sensor to buy. See the noise monitoring comparison.
Yes. The upsell shop shows your products in the guidebook, on the tablet and on the TV, with payments going straight to your Stripe account. On Simple the platform fee is a flat 3% per sale with no monthly charge, where The Host Co takes 7% of every sale on its free tier or from $18/month on paid plans. See the upsell comparison.
No. WiFi Marketing runs on the UniFi, TP-Link Omada or Mikrotik gear you already own, or a cheap Raspberry Pi. The tablet app runs on any Android 11+ tablet and the TV app on any Android TV or Google TV device, including a plug-in HDMI stick.
Yes. The one-click TouchStay importer copies your existing guide content into BetterSTR in minutes, so you keep everything you have already written.
No. You choose per property, and monthly or annual per property too. Properties that only need the free guidebook can stay on a-la-carte pricing on the same account.
If you are paying two or more of TouchStay, StayFi, WelcomeScreen, YourWelcome, Minut and The Host Co, Simple already saves you money, and it adds the pieces you skipped. One provider, one bill, one dashboard, and every part of the stay working off the same booking data.
