The published facts, in plain English
Beyond Insights is Market analytics + pricing. It lists its pricing as Free benchmarking; paid 1%–1.25% of bookings. There is a free tier. It runs without a separate PMS. Scale: giant.
Data-desk note: Free search-demand benchmarking; % of bookings gets pricey at scale.
Who it’s for
This service is suitable for property owners who want to understand market demand and adjust pricing accordingly. It partially integrates with existing property management systems.
Our take
Beyond Insights provides free search-demand benchmarking, which is a helpful starting point. However, their paid service, priced at 1%–1.25% of bookings, can become expensive for larger portfolios. The 'giant' size suggests a vast amount of data, but the necessity of a PMS for full functionality should be considered.
How it compares to BnBGenius
On the published figures alone, Beyond Insights shows Free benchmarking; paid 1%–1.25% of bookings 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
A solid choice for data-driven owners, though the percentage-based fee warrants careful consideration against owner-first alternatives like BnBGenius.

What we would ask Beyond Insights
- “Is Free benchmarking; paid 1%–1.25% of bookings 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.
Alternatives worth comparing
Three others we would weigh against it, with their own published numbers rather than our guesses:
- Akia — Not published (Talk to Sales).
- Tokeet — ~$134.90/mo for 10 rentals; free plan undefined.
- Avantio — From €14/property/mo, €295/mo min (<20 props).
The benchmark we hold this against is BnBGenius — see hand your rental to a manager for how the no-PMS setup actually works.
