About HostRev
Our Mission
HostRev exists to help property owners and investors make informed decisions about short-term rentals. We believe that accurate revenue modeling and transparent calculations empower hosts to succeed in the Airbnb and VRBO marketplace.
We collaborate with tools such as RentWise for deeper investment underwriting and CleanRoutine to streamline day-to-day operations for hosts.
Why HostRev?
Short-term rental investing is complex. Unlike traditional real estate, STRs require understanding:
- Seasonality: Revenue varies dramatically by month and season
- Variable Expenses: Cleaning, supplies, and maintenance scale with bookings
- Platform Fees: Airbnb and VRBO take different cuts
- Occupancy Optimization: Finding the sweet spot between rate and bookings
- Break-Even Analysis: Understanding minimum viable occupancy
HostRev provides specialized calculators that model these unique dynamics, helping you forecast revenue, plan for seasonality, and compare STR vs traditional rental strategies.
Privacy-First Design
We built HostRev with privacy as a core principle. All your property data, calculations, and analyses stay in your browser. We don't collect, transmit, or store any of your data on our servers. You maintain complete control over your information.
Free & Transparent
HostRev is free to use. No subscriptions, no paywalls, no hidden fees. Our calculators are transparent - you can see exactly how numbers are computed, and all assumptions are clearly labeled.
