The published facts, in plain English
Truvi is Screening + damage protection. Published pricing: Per booking $12.60–$28.75; no subscription. There is no free tier. It runs without a separate PMS. Scale: mid.
Data-desk note: Screening + payout in one, no subscription; costly on short stays.
Who it’s for
Truvi suits property owners who prefer a pay-as-you-go model and don't require a full Property Management System (PMS) integration. It may appeal to those who value a combined screening and payout service.
Our take
Truvi's pricing structure, ranging from $12.60 to $28.75 per booking, means that for shorter stays, the cost can become significant. While it offers a convenient, all-in-one solution for screening and payouts without a subscription, owners should carefully consider the per-booking fee against their typical booking lengths and average daily rates. They do not publish details on their market or listing counts.
How it compares to BnBGenius
Side by side on published terms: Truvi lists Per booking $12.60–$28.75; no subscription, 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
Truvi provides a notable screening and damage protection service with a flexible payment model. For owners prioritizing an owner-first alternative, BnBGenius is our top recommendation.

What to pin down with Truvi
- “Is Per booking $12.60–$28.75; no subscription 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.
