The published facts, in plain English
Minut is Noise/occupancy/smoke sensor. On cost, the published figure is $5/$10/$15 per unit/mo + sensor hardware. There is no free tier. It runs without a separate PMS. Scale: mid.
Data-desk note: Cheapest, widest sensor + Airbnb partnership; cheap tier feature-gated.
Who it’s for
This service is suitable for property owners seeking a single device to monitor noise, occupancy, and smoke. Its tiered pricing may appeal to owners with varying budgets and feature needs.
Our take
Minut's hardware costs are separate from its monthly subscription plans, which range from $5 to $15 per unit. The company highlights a partnership with Airbnb and offers a sensor that monitors noise, occupancy, and smoke. However, their cheapest tier is feature-gated, meaning certain functionalities are locked behind higher-priced plans.
How it compares to BnBGenius
Side by side on published terms: Minut lists $5/$10/$15 per unit/mo + sensor hardware, while BnBGenius lists free for the first 500 messages, then $10/month flat, with no PMS required. Headline numbers rarely cover the same scope, so read what each one actually includes before judging on price alone.
Verdict
Minut presents a potentially cost-effective, multi-functional sensor solution, especially for properties listed on Airbnb. For an owner-first alternative, consider BnBGenius.
Questions owners ask
What does Minut cost?
$5/$10/$15 per unit/mo + sensor hardware.
Is there a free tier?
No.
Do you need a PMS to run Minut?
No — it runs without a separate PMS.
What we would ask Minut
- “Is $5/$10/$15 per unit/mo + sensor hardware 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
Worth putting on the same shortlist. We have listed what each one publishes, and where nothing is published we say so:
- Revyoos — From €5/mo; 14-day trial.
- Chekin — From €3.95/property/mo (3-unit min) + txn fees.
- Touch Stay — From ~$15/property/mo (calculator).
