Stay on GuestIntro if the free seven-section manual is enough, if you want their AI Concierge and upsells, or if you are shopping for a direct-booking site with 0% platform commission.
Choose Guest Guide if you already book on Airbnb/Vrbo/Booking.com, you do not need a booking website, and you prefer $49 or $99 once to $7.99 every month per property.
For one property and seven sections, yes — they say it is free forever with no credit card. Upgrade to Pro for custom sections, 9 languages, AI Concierge, upsells, branding, analytics, and PDF export.
No. If you want to take direct bookings on your own domain, GuestIntro’s Direct Booking Site is the product that does that. Guest Guide only replaces the guest manual.
Free GuestIntro is $0. Paid GuestIntro Pro is $7.99/month per property. Guest Guide Solo is $49 once. After seven months of Pro, Solo has cost less; after that the gap widens.
GuestIntro states Direct Booking Sites take 0% commission; guests pay through your Stripe account and you pay standard card fees. Guest Guide does not process stays.
Pricing checked October 2026. GuestIntro figures come from guestintro.com/pricing. Guest Guide: $49 Solo / $99 Pro, one-time.
