Smart Pricing Suggestions

What is Smart Pricing?

Smart Pricing is a pricing suggestion tool that helps hosts choose a competitive hourly rate for their pool. It analyzes real booking data from similar pools in your area to recommend a price designed to help maximize your earnings.

Smart Pricing does not automatically change your price; it simply provides a data-backed suggestion you can choose to use or ignore.

How does Smart Pricing work?

Smart Pricing looks at pools similar to yours in your local area and analyzes their pricing and booking performance. These insights are used to suggest a price that balances demand and earning potential.

Factors may include:

• Location
• Pool type and size
• Amenities (heated pool, hot tub, sauna, etc.)
• Seasonal demand
• Recent booking activity for comparable pools

The goal is to help you price competitively while still earning as much as possible per booking.

Does Smart Pricing change my price automatically?

No. Smart Pricing only provides a suggested price.

You’re always in full control and can:

• Accept the suggestion
• Adjust it up or down
• Set your own custom price

Why might my Smart Pricing suggestion change over time?

Pricing suggestions may change as market conditions evolve. This can happen when:

• Demand increases or decreases in your area
• New comparable pools are listed nearby
• Seasonality shifts (summer vs. off-season)
• Booking behavior changes for similar pools

These updates help ensure your suggested price stays aligned with current demand.

Will using Smart Pricing increase my earnings?

Smart Pricing is designed to help you earn more by:

• Keeping your price competitive
• Increasing the likelihood of bookings
• Avoiding under- or over-pricing based on local demand

While results vary by listing, many hosts find that competitive pricing leads to higher occupancy and stronger overall earnings.

Do I have to use Smart Pricing?

No. Smart Pricing is completely optional.

You can continue using your own pricing strategy at any time. Smart Pricing is simply a tool to help inform your decisions using real marketplace data.

What if I think the suggestion is too high or too low?

That’s okay — you know your pool best.

If you feel the suggestion doesn’t reflect your unique features, availability, or hosting goals, you can adjust your price accordingly. Many hosts use Smart Pricing as a starting point, then fine-tune based on their experience.

Does Smart Pricing consider my exact pool?

Smart Pricing compares your pool to similar pools in your area. While no two pools are identical, the system uses the closest available matches to generate a realistic recommendation.

Where can I see my Smart Pricing suggestion?

You can view your Smart Pricing suggestion directly in your Host Dashboard when setting or editing your hourly rate.
