The Commission Tax

Guesty Takes a Cut of Every Booking

1-3% might not sound like much—until you do the math

The Guesty Commission Problem

Guesty charges 1-3% commission on your booking revenue. The more successful you are, the more you pay them.

  • Commission scales with your success
  • High-revenue months cost you more
  • Unpredictable software costs

Example: $50K/month bookings

Monthly commission (2%)$1,000
Yearly commission$12,000
GetResort yearly$588
You save$11,412/year

Honest Assessment

When might Guesty be worth the commission?

Guesty might make sense if you:

  • Run 100+ properties and need enterprise support
  • Need deeply customized workflows and integrations
  • Have budget for premium enterprise pricing
  • Don't mind the commission eating into margins

But for most property managers, GetResort offers the same core functionality without the commission tax and enterprise complexity.

Property Managers Who Switched

"Guesty wanted to charge us 2% commission on every booking. On $50K/month in bookings, that's $12,000/year. GetResort is $588/year. Same features."

Saved $11,400/year
"I didn't want to sit through sales calls just to find out pricing. GetResort let me sign up, try it free, and see pricing upfront. That's how software should work."
