Uplisting: cost, fit and limits
Uplisting is a vacation rental software product made by Uplisting Limited that syncs Airbnb, Booking.com and Vrbo, runs a unified inbox with automated and AI guest messaging, builds a direct booking site and offers a REST API and MCP server for hosts and small managers.
What to know first
Uplisting sells three plans, Independent Host, Operator and Manager, each priced flat per month or on a pay-as-you-go commission. Prices are in pounds, and annual billing takes 10% off on Operator and Manager. All three have a 14-day trial with no card. The AI Suite counts actions: 100 a month on the lower two plans and unlimited on Manager, where Dynamic Pricing by AirDNA Adapt is included.

Who Uplisting is best for
Hosts with up to five homes
Independent Host costs £40 a month for five properties, including 100 AI actions, SMS, a basic direct booking site, and API and MCP access.
Hosts who prefer paying by commission
Pay as you go is £0 a month plus 3% per booking on Independent Host, so a seasonal host pays nothing in quiet months.
Managers who need owner statements
Manager includes client management and owner statements, which cost £8 per listing per month as add-ons on the lower plans.

What Uplisting does
- AI Suite with action quota
- The AI Suite counts actions each month, 100 on two plans, and extra capacity on those plans costs £49 a month. Manager removes the cap, so heavy messaging volume points to that tier.
- Automated AI Messaging
- Guest messages can be automated with AI, working inside the unified inbox that merges Airbnb, Booking.com and Vrbo threads, so a host sees one stream of conversations in a single place.
- Dynamic Pricing by AirDNA Adapt
- Market-led nightly rates come from AirDNA Adapt, included on Manager and sold at £8 per listing per month on the lower plans, so pricing is the first add-on many hosts will price out.
- API and MCP
- A REST API and MCP server are included on every plan, so technical hosts can connect Claude or other assistants without moving to a higher tier.
- Security deposits and locks
- Uplisting Protect handles security deposits on Operator, and Smart Locks integration is included there, while on Independent Host it is an add-on at £4 per listing per month.
How Uplisting handles your data
The privacy policy URL we tried returned a 404, so the terms page was opened instead. It does not state whether customer data trains AI models, how long data is retained or where it is hosted. No certification such as SOC 2 or ISO 27001 appears on the pages read. The pricing page names AirDNA Adapt as the pricing data source, but which model provider handles the AI Suite is not stated. Hosts with European guests should request a data processing agreement and a sub-processor list.
Where Uplisting falls short in practice
- Pricing text contradicts itself. Independent Host is described as capped at four properties, yet its example price is for five, and the commission tiers differ between the page text and the FAQ. Confirm your exact tier in writing.
- AI quota and add-ons. A busy host can pass 100 AI actions quickly, and the overage is £49 a month. Owner portal, statements, locks and dynamic pricing are paid add-ons on the lower plans, so the entry price grows with features.

Alternatives to Uplisting
Uplisting: common questions
How many AI actions are included in Uplisting?
Independent Host and Operator include 100 AI actions a month, and Manager has an unlimited AI Suite. Going past 100 on the lower plans costs £49 a month extra. The pages do not define what one action is, so test a week of real messages and read the counter.
What does Uplisting cost for five properties?
The pricing page lists £40 a month on Independent Host, £90 on Operator and £208 on Manager for five properties, all flat. Pay-as-you-go alternatives charge a commission per booking instead. Prices are in pounds, annual billing is 10% off on Operator and Manager, and add-ons are extra.
Does Uplisting have an MCP server?
Yes. The pricing page lists a REST API and MCP server on Independent Host, so the entry plan has them. The page does not describe which actions an outside assistant can take. Start with read-only questions about bookings and review the permissions before allowing changes.
Is there a free plan on Uplisting?
No. All three plans have a 14-day free trial with no card, and pay as you go is £0 a month plus commission, which is not a free plan because each booking carries a fee. Compare commission against the flat price using your own booking count.
Where is Uplisting based?
The pages we opened do not state a headquarters country. The maker is named as Uplisting Limited, and the privacy policy URL we tried returned a 404. A buyer needing the country for procurement should ask for it with the contract.
