HostAlert calls time on underpriced holiday rentals
Event intelligence lifts the lid on demand surge for AirBnB’s. Historically, left in the dark through lack of access to the aggregated data as used by major hotel chains, takeaway food brands and ride sharing companies, short term hosts have drawn the short straw when it comes from capitalising on major events in their area.
Why STR Hosts Can’t Rely on AI when High Impact Events Come to Town

Meet the solution built by hosts, for hosts. Inspired by Co-Founder Andy Crosby’s own missed revenue opportunities, HostAlert aggregates structured event data to ensure independent operators have the same market intelligence as global hotel chains.
Why the STR Industry Needs HostAlert
With the global STR market exceeding $124B, “average” performance is no longer enough to maintain margins. Explore why structured event visibility has shifted from a “nice-to-have” to a competitive requirement in a maturing, data-led industry.

Eyes Wide Shut: The Hidden Revenue Sitting in Your Calendar

Smart Pricing Vs. Event-Driven Pricing: What’s the Difference?
Your dynamic pricing tool has a blind spot: it only reacts after the bookings start rolling in. Learn why the future of revenue management is a “layered model” that combines automated algorithms with forward-looking event intelligence to capture maximum margin.
How Major Local Events Impact Short-Term Rental Pricing
Most hosts treat events as “random spikes,” but they are actually predictable revenue moments. Discover how major local events drive 20–50% ADR increases and why relying on reactive pricing tools might be costing you over £1,600 per property every year.
