Hospitable Dynamic Pricing vs PriceLabs: do you still need PriceLabs?

Q: Is Hospitable dynamic pricing as good as PriceLabs?

They're built for different hosts. Hospitable's dynamic pricing is simpler and included in its paid plans, and it picks your comparable listings for you. PriceLabs costs extra but goes deeper: it lists 30+ customisations and builds neighbourhood data from up to 350 similar listings nearby. If you want set-and-forget, Hospitable's may be enough; if you like to tune, PriceLabs offers more control.

Q: Can I choose my competitors in Hospitable's dynamic pricing?

No. Hospitable chooses comparable listings automatically, in the background, using dozens of attributes including review scores. PriceLabs builds neighbourhood data from up to 350 similar listings nearby and sells custom market dashboards from $9.99 a month.

Since April 2025, Hospitable has included its own dynamic pricing in its paid plans. If you're on Hospitable and paying for PriceLabs on top, the obvious question is whether you're paying twice. Here's what each one actually does.

By the PeakRate team. We're UK holiday-let hosts, and PeakRate connects to Hospitable (see the end). Prices and features checked on each company's own website on 9 October 2026; they change, so check before you buy.

Are you paying twice?

If you're on a paid Hospitable plan, dynamic pricing is already included. Hospitable says so plainly in its launch announcement, inviting hosts to "stop overpaying" for tools it now includes. PriceLabs is an extra cost on top: $19.99 a month for one UK listing, or $49.97 a month for three, plus taxes, in US dollars.

That doesn't make PriceLabs a waste. It's a deeper tool. But it does mean the question isn't "which is better?" so much as "is the extra control worth the extra cost for my properties?"

Who picks your competitors?

This is the biggest practical difference. Hospitable chooses comparable listings automatically, "in the background", using dozens of attributes including review scores. You can't see or change the list. PriceLabs builds neighbourhood data from up to 350 similar-sized listings within a radius of up to 15 km, and sells custom market dashboards as an add-on.

If you know exactly which handful of lodges or cottages your guests weigh you against, check how each tool lets you see, and use, that list. It matters more than any feature count.

Limits each one states itself

Hospitable

Works only in markets Hospitable supports, with no guaranteed timeframe for new ones.
Setup isn't available on mobile or small screens, and only the primary account holder can switch it on or off.
Platform discounts and promotions aren't taken into account and can take the price below your minimum.

Bills UK hosts in US dollars, plus taxes.

You don't have to choose all at once

Hospitable lets you run its pricing on some properties and another tool, like PriceLabs, on others. You can also preview Hospitable's pricing without disconnecting PriceLabs. If you're unsure, try one property on each for a month and compare. Just remember Hospitable's own advice: when you switch a property over, remove it from the old tool so you're not charged for it.
