The published facts, in plain English
Uplisting is PMS / channel manager. On cost, the published figure is £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 southern Idaho.
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
On the published figures alone, Uplisting shows £72/mo flat (1–5); £16/unit (6–40) 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
Uplisting files under PMS / channel manager; the fair test is how well it does that one job on a live listing. It needs a property-management system underneath, so the honest cost is tool plus PMS plus the migration between them. Test path: use the trial on a real listing immediately — an empty sandbox tells you nothing. Published pricing of £72/mo flat (1–5); £16/unit (6–40) makes the value math checkable before you commit.
Two owner scenarios
- 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 small-portfolio host. Two or three listings is where per-listing pricing starts to bite and flat pricing starts to win — read Uplisting’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 Tasks — 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. 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
What does Uplisting cost?
£72/mo flat (1–5); £16/unit (6–40).

What to pin down with 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
Worth putting on the same shortlist. We have listed what each one publishes, and where nothing is published we say so:
- PriceLabs — $19.99/listing/mo (RoW $9.99).
- Beds24 — From ~€15.50/mo + per-channel fees.
- SuiteOp — Not published; ~$6–$8/unit/mo (3rd-party); 1-mo trial.
Our own number one in this category is BnBGenius — see this tool for how the no-PMS setup actually works.
