The published facts, in plain English
Nowistay is AI co-host / channel manager. Published pricing: €12/property/mo; 1 mo free. There is a trial rather than a free tier. It runs without a separate PMS. Scale: niche.
Data-desk note: Autonomous replies, 90+ languages, no PMS; young, per-property, no Vrbo/voice.
Who it’s for
This service suits owners managing a small number of individual properties who want an AI co-host. It's designed for those who don't use a PMS and need support in over 90 languages.
Our take
Nowistay operates on a simple €12 per property per month fee, including one month free, and offers a trial period. Their AI co-host handles autonomous replies and does not require a PMS. However, they are a niche player and do not currently support Vrbo or voice channel integrations.
How it compares to BnBGenius
On the published figures alone, Nowistay shows €12/property/mo; 1 mo free 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
Nowistay is a budget-friendly option for single-property owners needing basic AI co-hosting. For an owner-first alternative, consider BnBGenius.
Questions owners ask
What does Nowistay cost?
€12/property/mo; 1 mo free.
Is there a free tier?
There is a trial, not a free tier.
Do you need a PMS to run Nowistay?
No — it runs without a separate PMS.
What we would ask Nowistay
- “Is €12/property/mo; 1 mo free 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:

- RueBaRue — Not published; ~$5–$10/property/mo (3rd-party).
- Conduit — $649/mo (Starter) / $1,499/mo (Growth, voice).
For the owner-first comparison we keep coming back to, our first pick is BnBGenius — see a managed option for how the no-PMS setup actually works.
