For successful Airbnb hosts
You already fill the calendar. Stop paying commission on it.
A direct-booking website for your property — real availability, real pricing, real payment, built and hosted for you. A flat monthly plan and Stripe's own processing rate. No build fee, and no percentage of your bookings, on any plan, ever.
The number that frames everything
A house turning over $85,000 a year pays Airbnb's 15.5% host service fee on all of it — including the guests who already knew you and came back on their own.
What the platform takes
$1,098 a month. $13,175 a year in commission, charged on every booking — whether the platform found the guest or not.
What Growth costs
$249 a month. Under a quarter of the platform fee, and it doesn't scale with your success. A better year costs the platform more and costs us nothing.
Commission taxes growth
Every extra booking costs you 15.5% more. A flat fee is the opposite — the busier you get, the cheaper it effectively becomes.
As a share of what the house earns, that is 1.40% on Essential and 2.99% on Growth, against 15.5% on Airbnb and roughly 8% on Vrbo. Third-party rates are published list prices as of August 2026 and change without notice. These figures compare the cost of two ways of taking the same booking — they are not a forecast of how many you will get.
See it in action
Karma BNB, a private three-bedroom stay in Etobicoke, runs on a HEARTH site today — real photography, live availability, transparent nightly pricing, and a direct path from search to checkout.
Three plans
One flat monthly fee, decided up front. No build fee — the site is already made — and no percentage of your bookings, on any plan, ever.

Ask about MomentumFirst three months at $99. Any plan starts at the Essential rate for three months, then moves to the plan rate. The only other charge is Stripe's own processing on each payment — the same rate any direct card payment carries anywhere.
When you shouldn't pay this
Three cases where we would tell you not to.
You would enjoy running it yourself
Some owners genuinely do. Booking software you operate yourself runs $9–103 a month. Buy it, take a weekend, and keep the difference — we would tell you the same in person.
The house turns over under about $15,000
Below that, even Essential is close to 8% of revenue and the maths stops working. Come back when it is busier.
You want Momentum first
Paying for ads to a page that does not convert is the most expensive mistake available here. Growth first, ads second.
