Our take
The platform provides free analytics, which is a significant draw for cost-conscious owners. Its API has a pay-as-you-go model starting at $0.01 per call, offering flexibility. As a younger company, it is less established than some competitors, but it presents a viable free alternative for market data.
How it compares to BnBGenius
On the published figures alone, AirROI shows Free analytics; API pay-as-you-go from $0.01/call and BnBGenius shows free for the first 500 messages, then $10/month flat, with no PMS required. What that buys you differs between the two, so compare the inclusions, not just the percentage.
Verdict
AirROI is a decent free option for market data. For owners prioritising an owner-first approach and comprehensive support, BnBGenius remains our top recommendation.

What to pin down with AirROI
- “Is Free analytics; API pay-as-you-go from $0.01/call per listing or flat?” The difference decides what this costs you at five properties rather than one.
- Free tier or trial. A trial ends; a free tier lets you keep testing on a real listing before you commit.
- What it needs underneath. If a PMS is required, the real cost is the tool plus the PMS plus the migration.
