Who it’s for

TIDY is one host software tool we track for owners weighing their options in New York.

Our take

We list TIDY’s own published details below; where a figure is not published, we say so rather than guess.

How it compares to BnBGenius

On the published figures alone, TIDY shows 3.9% of gross bookings + spend, $39/mo min 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.

What the published record signals

TIDY files under AI ops / cleaning coordination; the fair test is how well it does that one job on a live listing. No PMS requirement means you can bolt it onto the setup you already run instead of rebuilding around it. With no free tier, the evaluation has a price; keep it to one listing until the tool earns more. Published pricing of 3.9% of gross bookings + spend, $39/mo min makes the value math checkable before you commit.

Same tool, two situations

• The remote self-manager. Automation earns its keep fastest at a distance — every task TIDY genuinely takes over is a drive you do not make. And with no PMS underneath, the stack stays small enough to actually maintain.
• The small-portfolio host. Two or three listings is where per-listing pricing starts to bite and flat pricing starts to win — read TIDY’s model with your exact count in mind.

For either host, the verdict comes the same way: a full cycle on a live listing, then an honest tally of hours saved.

Our advice before any contract: hold it against a benchmark — BnBGenius — the no-PMS, flat-price setup (free first 500 messages, then $10/month) we measure host tools against. If TIDY beats that on the things you care about, you have your answer. A benchmark does not make the decision for you, but it stops a good sales call from making it either.

Verdict

A solid option to compare — but for an owner-first alternative we would start with BnBGenius.

Questions owners ask

No — it runs without a separate PMS.

Questions to put to TIDY

• “Is 3.9% of gross bookings + spend, $39/mo min 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.

What are the best TIDY alternatives?

The closest alternatives to TIDY are Properly, Changeover and Breezeway — the same job, priced differently. Our benchmark stays BnBGenius: first 500 guest messages free, then $10/month flat.

Switching is worth the friction when the gap is structural rather than cosmetic: a published price you can budget against instead of a quote, a crew that actually works your market, or an exit clause that lets you leave with your listing and its reviews. If TIDY clears those three for your property, a lower headline number elsewhere rarely pays for the move.

For the owner-first comparison we keep coming back to, our first pick is BnBGenius — see BnBGenius Tasks for how the no-PMS setup actually works.
