Enable Dynamic Pricing

Dynamic pricing (also called time-based or demand pricing) is a pricing strategy for short-term rentals. Using fixed rates can hurt profitability: pricing too high reduces occupancy, while pricing too low cuts revenue.

Dynamic pricing tools solve this by automatically calculating optimal rates using market data and demand factors, helping you maximize income and maintain year-round occupancy. Dynamic pricing automatically adjusts your rates based on market demand, helping you maximise revenue while maintaining competitive pricing. Zeevou offers free integration with advanced platforms for comprehensive pricing strategies.

If you don’t want to have market-driven pricing, but wish to automate price changes through rules that you are fully in control of, skip to using Zeevou’s Rate Rules.

Dynamic Pricing Tools

Zeevou integrates with leading dynamic pricing platforms to automatically update your rates based on market demand, seasonality, local events, and competitor pricing. Choose from PriceLabs, Beyond Pricing, Wheelhouse, or Rategenie.

Understanding Paid Dynamic Pricing

Paid dynamic pricing tools offer advanced features beyond Zeevou's free option:

Key factors that influence pricing:

• Base Price: Your calendar price serves as the foundation (must match between Zeevou and the pricing tool)

• Min/Max Prices: Boundary limits for rate adjustments

• Location Data: Latitude, longitude, and local market conditions

• Property Details: Bedroom count, amenities, unit type

• Advanced Rules: Portfolio occupancy, last-minute pricing, occupancy-based adjustments

• Custom Strategies: User-defined pricing rules and overrides

Important: Ensure your Zeevou calendar price matches the base price in your pricing tool to avoid discrepancies.

Here is a list of advanced platforms for comprehensive pricing strategies:

1. PriceLabs

2. Beyond Pricing

3. Wheelhouse
